Specifications
The SPF Solar Protection Fuse series has been specifically
designed for photovoltaic (PV) systems. This family of midget
fuses (10x38mm) can safely protect PV modules and their
conductors from reverse overcurrent conditions despite the
associated challenges of DC power.
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. With design voltages
growing upwards of 1000VDC, standard midget fuses simply
cannot handle this power. However, the SPF series is UL
Recognized to safely interrupt circuits up to this demanding
voltage level.
