Bussmann Solar Fuses

What is a Bussmann Solar Fuses? A Bussmann Solar Fuses is a special purpose fuse used in photovoltaic (PV) or solar power systems. Bussmann Solar Fuses used in these systems are interchangeably known as PV Fuse, Solar PV Fuse, Fusible PV Fuses and Bussmann Solar Fuse. A wide range of voltage, ratings and ampere ratings determine the Solar Panel Fuse Size. The Midget Fuse, sizes operate from 600 to 1500 VDC and are available in 1 to 32 amps. The Class R, Fuse, size operates at 600 VDC and from 20 to 400 amps. The Class J, Fuse size operates from 600 to 1000 VDC and from 70 to 600 amps. NH or Square Body style PV Fuses are available in 1000, 1250 and 1500 VDC ratings. They carry ampere ratings of 50 to 400 amps. Several other sizes are available including 10x57mm, 10x85mm, 14x51mm and 14x65mm operating from 1000-1500VDC and ampere ratings of 2.25 to 32 amps.

Bussmann Solar Fuses are a range of fuse links in a 10mm x 38mm package designed specifically for the protection and isolation of photovoltaic strings in solar panel applications. Bussmann Solar Fuses links are capable of interrupting low over currents associated with faulted PV (reverse current, multi-array fault) string arrays. These Bussmann Solar Fuses feature 1000VDC rated voltage and rated breaking capacity of 33kAdc. These Bussmann Solar Fuses also feature an amp range of 1A to 6A, 8A, 10A, 12A, and 15A.

The demand for alternative energy has led to another innovation from Bussmann Solar Fuses, the industry leader in circuit protection. Developing sophisticated solar panel systems have accelerated the demand for high performance fuses. The short-circuit conditions associated with solar panels do not allow for sufficient current to open a standard fuse in a way that effectively isolates faulted photovoltaic (PV) strings. The new Bussmann Solar Fuses ® PV Fuse line provides a full range of protection that traditional fuses cannot. Low Level Fault Protection.
