Value Collection BD-29583 RK5 Cartridge Time Delay Fuse 100A

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-29583 is a cartridge-style, time delay fuse rated at 100 amps and classified under Fuse Class RK5. Designed for general purpose overcurrent protection, this fuse provides a deliberate time delay response that tolerates brief inrush currents without nuisance tripping, while still opening quickly under sustained fault conditions. At 5-7/8 inches overall length, it fits standard cartridge fuse holders and disconnect blocks used in commercial and industrial electrical panels. Licensed electricians install this fuse type during equipment startups, panel upgrades, and service replacements where RK5 class protection is specified.

This fuse is suited for general purpose branch circuit and feeder protection in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where an RK5-rated overcurrent device is required. Typical installations include motor branch circuits, HVAC disconnect switches, and electrical distribution equipment where inrush current handling is necessary. The time delay characteristic makes it appropriate for loads that draw elevated startup current before settling to normal operating amperage.

Key Features

• RK5 fuse class rating for general purpose overcurrent protection
• 100 amp continuous current rating
• Time delay design tolerates motor and transformer inrush currents
• Cartridge body type fits standard RK5-compatible fuse holders and disconnects
• 5-7/8 inch overall length for direct replacement in matching holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service stock fuse for standard RK5 cartridge fuse holders and disconnect switches rated for 100 A general purpose applications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before opening any fuse holder or disconnect enclosure. Use an appropriately rated fuse puller to remove and install cartridge fuses safely. Verify the fuse holder is rated for RK5 class fuses and confirm the voltage and amperage ratings of the circuit before installation.
