POWR-GARD® Fuse Datasheet SPF SERIES SOLAR FUSES 1000 Vdc • 1-30 A Specifications Voltage Rating 1000 VDC Amperage Rating 1, 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30 Max. Interrupting Rating 20 kA Time Constant ≤ 2ms Material Body: Melamine Caps: Copper Alloy Approvals UL 2579 Listed (File: E339112) IEC 60269-6 (1-25 A) VDE Certified (No. 40033098)* see specifications on pg. 2 CSA Certified (File: 029862_0_000) Environmental RoHS Compliant Country of Origin Mexico Description Part Numbering System The SPF Solar Protection Fuse series has been specifically designed for the protection of photovoltaic (PV) systems. This family of Midget style fuses (10 x 38 mm) can safely protect PV modules and conductors from reverseovercurrent conditions. 0SPF xxxx H XR Series Blank = Ferrule XR = PCB Amp Code As PV systems have grown in size, so have the corresponding voltage requirements. This increase in system voltage has typically been intended to minimize power loss associated with long conductor runs. Standard circuit protection devices are not designed to completely protect photovoltaic panels. However, the SPF series is UL Listed to safely interrupt faulted circuits up to this demanding voltage level. Littelfuse offers 14 ampere ratings to match specific requirements in a variety of applications.
