Schurter solar fuse ASO and fuseholder FSO

Schurter has introduced the solar fuse ASO and fuseholder FSO with quick-acting characteristics to protect photovoltaic and similar DC applications. The devices extend the strategic segment ‘renewable energy’ with a 1000 VDC fuse with a current range from 1 to 30 A and a touch safe fuseholder FSO.

The fuse protects PV modules, conductors and similar DC-applications from the potentially devastating effects of a low short-circuit current in systems upwards of 1000 VDC.

The wire bonding makes the fuse stable and reliable with an operating temperature range of -40 to 85°C. The fuse is specially designed for protecting DC low short-circuit current and overvoltage conditions like solar panels (strings), inverters, battery chargers and combiner boxes.

The fuseholder is designed for grid-tie or off-grid array combiners and standard DIN rail mount.
