September 11, 2012 - Cooper Bussmann announced 1500Vdc photovoltaic fuses. The line permits OEMs to design more efficient solar power systems that use smaller conductors, components and save costs. With UL, IEC and CCC approvals, the entire line permits designers to create systems that are globally accepted. PV system manufacturers can select from sizes ranging from a 14x65mm ferrule fuse to four square body XL sizes, with ampacities from 15 to 400 amps. Designed specifically to protect and isolate PV array combiners and disconnects, these high performance fuses are capable of interrupting low overcurrents associated with faulted PV systems, such as reverse current and multi-array faults.
The XL size PV fuses with their compact dimensions and options for blade or bolt mounting provide simple and cost effective project design and installation. The 14x65mm size comes with ferrules, bolt tags or 10mm fixings to accommodate multiple mounting designs.
