Cooper Bussmann Introduces Full Range of Photovoltaic Array Protection Fuse-Links for Solar Power Installations

Cooper Bussmann, leader in developing innovative circuit protection solutions, has designed a range of fuse-links specifically for protecting photovoltaic (PV) strings, or solar panels connected in series/parallel.

The Cooper Bussmann® fuse-links are manufactured in the popular 10x38mm cylindrical package allowing the use of off-the-shelf fuse-holders, clips and blocks. With ratings from 8A to 15A at 1000Vdc, the fuse-links are ‘gR’ category which covers 4”, 5” and 6” solar cell systems and allows for full range protection (over-loads down to 1.3 x I_n and short circuits).  The specific performance of the Cooper Bussmann PV fuse is designed around the operational, environmental and potential fault conditions of PV strings. The fuse-links are tested and approved to IEC 60 269 and packaged in material which is 100% recyclable.

These unique Cooper Bussmann PV fuse-links will assist design engineers in ensuring worker safety and equipment protection without sacrificing performance in alternative energy applications.
