Value Collection BD-29531 RK5 80A Time Delay Cartridge Fuse

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-29531 is an 80-amp, Class RK5 cartridge time delay fuse designed for general-purpose overcurrent protection in electrical distribution systems. It features a dual-element construction that tolerates temporary motor-start inrush currents while still responding quickly to sustained overloads and short circuits. The fuse carries an interrupt rating of 200 kA, making it suitable for installations where high available fault current is a concern. This fuse is installed by licensed electricians and maintenance technicians working on branch circuits, feeder panels, and motor-control equipment.

This fuse is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems requiring Class RK5 time delay protection. Its dual-element design makes it a common choice for motor branch circuits where startup inrush current would cause nuisance blowing with a standard fast-acting fuse. It is sold in a package quantity of 5, with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Key Features

• 80-amp continuous current rating with time delay characteristic
• Class RK5 fuse for general-purpose overcurrent protection
• 200 kA interrupt rating for high-fault-current installations
• Dual-element construction tolerates motor inrush without nuisance blowing
• Cartridge body type for standard RK5-compatible fuse holders and disconnects
• Listed and certified to UL 198E, CSA, and Federal Specification W-F-1814 QPL

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for Class RK5 cartridge fuse positions in standard electrical disconnects, fusible panels, and motor branch-circuit protection applications.

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 at the disconnect or panel before removing or installing fuses. Verify the fuse holder is rated for Class RK5 cartridge fuses and that the circuit voltage and amperage do not exceed fuse ratings. Never replace a fuse with a higher amperage rating than the circuit is designed to carry.
