Value Collection BD-29738 Cartridge Time Delay Fuse 20A

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-29738 is a cartridge-style, time delay fuse rated at 20 amps and 250 volts AC with a 10 kA interrupting capacity. It measures 1.5 inches in overall length and 13/32 inches in diameter, conforming to the standard midget fuse form factor. Time delay operation allows the fuse to absorb brief inrush currents without nuisance opening, making it well suited for motor loads, compressors, and transformer circuits. Electricians and HVAC technicians install this fuse in fusible disconnects, load centers, and equipment service panels where overcurrent protection is required. It carries both UL Listed and CSA Certified ratings.

This fuse is used in residential and light commercial electrical systems where a 20-amp, 250-volt time delay element is specified. Common applications include HVAC equipment disconnects, control circuit protection, and motor branch circuits that experience brief startup surges. The cartridge body fits standard fuse holders and fusible disconnect blocks designed for the 13/32-inch diameter midget fuse class. It is sold in a package quantity of 10, making it practical for service vehicles and shop stock.
