* Except crimp terminal version that is UL Recognized to
UL 248-19, Guide JFGA2, File E335324.
Description:
Eaton’s Bussmann™ series of 10x38mm,
1000Vdc PV fuses are for protecting and isolating
photovoltaic strings. The fuses are specifically
designed for use in PV systems with extreme
ambient temperature, high cycling and low fault
current conditions (reverse current, multi-array
fault) string arrays.
Four styles available for application flexibility.
