Value Collection BD-29530 RK5 70A Time Delay Fuse

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-29530 is a cartridge-style, time delay fuse rated at 70 amps and classified to the RK5 standard. It is a two-element fuse designed to tolerate brief inrush currents — such as motor starts — without nuisance tripping, while still providing reliable overcurrent protection. This fuse is installed in fusible disconnect switches and distribution panels in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems. Licensed electricians handle installation as part of normal panel service or equipment protection upgrades. Each package contains 5 fuses.

The BD-29530 is suited for general-purpose branch circuit and feeder protection where time delay characteristics are required to ride through motor starting loads. Its RK5 classification places it in a rejection-style class that prevents substitution with lower-rated fuse classes, supporting proper system coordination. Typical applications include protecting motors, transformers, and other inductive loads in 240-volt and 600-volt-class distribution equipment.

Key Features

• 70-amp rating with time delay for motor and inductive load protection
• RK5 fuse class with rejection feature to prevent misapplication
• Two-element construction for accurate time-delay response
• Interrupting rating of 200 kA for high fault-current environments
• Cartridge body type for standard fusible disconnect and panel installation
• CSA Certified, UL Listed (UL 198E), and meets Federal Specification W-F-1814 QPL

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose RK5-class replacement cartridge fuse for use in standard fusible disconnect switches and panelboards rated for RK5 fuse class installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before removing or installing any fuse. Use properly rated fuse pullers when handling cartridge fuses — do not use uninsulated tools. Verify that the replacement fuse amperage and class match the equipment nameplate and system coordination requirements before installation.
