Value Collection BD-29740 Cartridge Time Delay Fuse 30A

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-29740 is a cartridge-style time delay fuse rated for 30 amps and 250 volts, with an interrupting capacity of 10 kA at AC. It measures 1.5 inches overall length with a 13/32 inch (10.30 mm) diameter body. Time delay fuses are designed to tolerate brief inrush currents — such as those produced during motor startup — without nuisance tripping, while still providing reliable overcurrent protection for the circuit. Electricians and maintenance technicians install this fuse type in fusible disconnect switches, motor circuits, and related electrical panels where temporary overload tolerance is required.

This fuse is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications where a compact cartridge form factor is required. Its 250V rating makes it appropriate for standard single-phase branch circuits and motor branch circuits. The time delay characteristic is particularly common in HVAC compressor circuits, fan motor circuits, and pump motor circuits where startup surge current must be accommodated. Both UL Listed and CSA Certified, this fuse meets common North American installation and inspection requirements.

Key Features

• 30 A continuous current rating with time delay characteristic for motor-circuit compatibility
• 250V AC voltage rating suitable for standard single-phase branch circuits
• 10 kA interrupting capacity at AC
• Compact cartridge body: 1.5 inches OAL, 13/32 inch diameter
• UL Listed and CSA Certified for North American installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement cartridge time delay fuse for use in fusible disconnect switches, motor-rated fuse blocks, and branch circuit protection panels that accept 13/32 inch diameter, 1.5 inch cartridge fuses rated at 30 A and 250V.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before removing or installing fuses. Use an insulated fuse puller appropriate for the cartridge size to avoid contact with conductive surfaces. Verify the replacement fuse amperage, voltage, and fuse timing match the original fuse and circuit requirements before energizing.
