The Gould OTN30 is a 30A, 250V, Class K5 one-time fuse with a 50kA interrupting rating, manufactured in the standard Class K5 cartridge form factor. It is compatible with fuse holders and fuse blocks rated for Class K or Class H 250V cartridge fuses of the appropriate size. Common applications include motor branch circuits, feeder protection, and general-purpose distribution panels.
Cross-reference replacements may include equivalent Class K5 one-time fuses from Bussmann, Ferraz Shawmut, or other manufacturers in the same amp/voltage/class rating. Not sure if this fuse fits your existing holder or disconnect? Send us your holder or equipment model and we'll confirm compatibility.
The OTN30 is a one-time (non-renewable) Class K5 fuse. While some Class K5 holders also accept Class H or Class RK5 fuses of the same 30A/250V rating, upgrading to a current-limiting Class RK1 or RK5 renewable fuse is possible in many applications and may offer enhanced protection. We recommend confirming your holder's class rating and your circuit requirements before substituting — contact us and we'll help you find the right fit.
Gould's OTN series fuses are considered a legacy/obsolete product line, but Northern Breaker Group specializes in sourcing hard-to-find and discontinued electrical components. We can help locate genuine Gould OTN30 stock or identify a direct modern equivalent (e.g., Bussmann NON-30 or Ferraz Shawmut OTN30) that matches the 30A, 250V, Class K5, 50kA specification. Reach out for availability and a quote.
Class K5 and K1 fuses share the same physical dimensions but differ in interrupting rating and let-through current — Class K1 fuses have a higher interrupting rating (up to 200kA) and lower let-through energy, offering greater equipment protection. The Gould OTN30 is rated at 50kA, which is typical for Class K5. If your system has available fault current exceeding 50kA, or if your equipment specifies a higher interrupting rating, you may need a Class K1 or current-limiting fuse instead.
