Value Collection BD-29526 RK5 40A Time Delay Fuse

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-29526 is a cartridge-style, time delay fuse rated at 40 amps and 200 kiloamps interrupting capacity. It is a general-purpose Class RK5 fuse designed for short-circuit and overload protection in electrical distribution systems. The dual-element design provides a deliberate time delay on startup inrush current while still responding quickly to sustained overloads and short circuits. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fuse type in panelboards, disconnect switches, and motor branch circuits where RK5 class protection is specified.

This fuse is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications requiring Class RK5 protection. Typical installations include motor circuits, HVAC equipment disconnects, and general branch circuit protection where time delay characteristics are needed to ride through motor starting currents without nuisance opening. The fuse is sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for stocking in service vans or electrical supply rooms.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for standard Class RK5 cartridge fuse applications in residential and commercial electrical distribution equipment requiring a 40-amp time delay fuse.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before removing or installing fuses. Verify the fuse holder or disconnect is rated for Class RK5 fuses and is compatible with the 40-amp rating before installation. Do not substitute a higher-amperage or non-time-delay fuse in applications where the time delay characteristic is part of the circuit design.
