Value Collection BD-29696 Cartridge Fuse K5 30A 600V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-29696 is a Class K5 cartridge fuse rated at 30 amps and 600 volts AC, designed for general-purpose overcurrent protection in industrial and commercial electrical distribution systems. With an interrupting rating of 50 kilo-amps at AC RMS, this fuse is built to clear high-fault-current events safely. The cartridge body measures 5 inches in overall length and 13/16 inches in diameter, fitting standard Class K5 fuse holders. Electricians and maintenance technicians install this type of fuse in disconnect switches, panelboards, motor control centers, and similar overcurrent protective equipment where reliable branch-circuit or feeder protection is required.

This fuse is suited for residential service entrances, light commercial panel feeders, and industrial branch-circuit applications where a Class K5 current-limiting fuse is specified. It is appropriate wherever the governing installation calls for a 30-amp, 600-volt general-purpose cartridge fuse meeting CSA Spec 59.1 and UL 198D standards. The 5-inch OAL dimension is the standard size for 30-amp Class H and K fuses, making it a common replacement in existing fuse holders across a wide range of equipment vintages.

Key Features

• 30-amp continuous current rating for branch-circuit and feeder overcurrent protection
• 600-volt AC rating suits single-phase and three-phase distribution systems
• 50 kA interrupting capacity at AC RMS for high-fault-current environments
• Class K5 cartridge body — 5 inches OAL, 13/16 inches diameter — fits standard K5 fuse holders
• Certified to CSA Spec 59.1 and listed to UL 198D
• General-purpose fuse type suitable for a broad range of load classifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement Class K5 cartridge fuse for use in standard 30-amp, 600-volt fuse holders and disconnect switches accepting 5-inch OAL cartridge fuses.

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 upstream overcurrent device before opening the fuse holder or disconnect. Use appropriately rated fuse pullers — never handle cartridge fuses with bare hands on energized equipment. Verify that the replacement fuse class, amperage, voltage, and interrupting rating match the equipment nameplate requirements before re-energizing.
