The demand for alternative energy has led to another
innovation from Cooper Bussmann, the industry leader in
circuit protection . Developing sopisticted solar panel
system has accelerated the demand for high performance
fuse links . The short-circuit condition associated with solar
panels does not allow for sufficient surrent to open a standard
fuse links in a way that effectively isolates faulted photovoltaic
(PV) strings . The new Cooper Bussmann® PV fuse link line
provides a full range of protection that traditional fuse links
Low Level Fault Protection
• PV fuse links can clear faults as low as 1.3 x 1 (fuse rating) ® 1000Vdc. They are
Designed specifically for 4” , 5” and 6” solar cell based panels .
Superior Cycling Withstand
• PV fuse links are tested in coordination with cycling conditions associated to
solar panel system operation and environmental influences .
1000Vdc Capacity
•PV fuse links are designed with a maximum 1000Vdc operating voltage based
Voltage based on typical solar panel systems with L/R or 1ms and below .
Globally Accepted 10 x 38mm Dimension
• All PV fuse link amp rating are available with standard ferrule , bolt and versatile
PCV mount options .
