Value Collection BD-L50S-40- Cartridge Fast-acting Fuse 40A

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-L50S-40- is a cartridge-style fast-acting fuse rated at 40 amps, designed for overcurrent protection in electrical distribution and control systems. It features a bolt-on mount configuration and measures 3-3/16 inches overall length with a 13/16-inch diameter. The fast-acting response characteristic makes it well suited for circuits where rapid fault clearing is critical. Interrupting capacity reaches 20 kA at DC and 200 kA at AC, providing substantial protection in high-demand installations. Licensed electricians and panel technicians are the typical trade professionals who specify and install this fuse type.

This fuse is appropriate for use in industrial control panels, switchgear, and electrical distribution equipment where bolt-on cartridge fuse holders are installed. The fast-acting fuse timing is suited to resistive and lighting circuits rather than motor-start applications, where time-delay fuses are more commonly specified. Its compact cartridge form factor fits standard bolt-on fuse blocks common in both commercial and light industrial settings. The fuse is sold in a package quantity of five units.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before removing or installing fuses. Verify that the fuse holder is rated for bolt-on cartridge fuses of this size and amperage. Do not substitute a fuse with a higher amperage rating than the circuit is designed to carry.
