Eaton PV-3A10F offers a 1000 Vdc operating capability, enabling protection across high-voltage PV strings and inverters with minimal voltage drop. This translates to improved system reliability and compliance with utility-grade PV protection standards, reducing downtime and extending equipment life in commercial rooftops and utility-scale installations. The 3 A current rating paired with a 50 kAIC interrupt capacity ensures fast, decisive fault clearing for high fault currents, minimizing arc energy and potential damage to solar wiring and modules. The 1–3 ms time constant delivers swift isolation during faults, boosting safety for technicians during maintenance and enabling safer hot-swap capabilities in PV combiner boxes. The compact 10x38 mm ferrule ends guarantee straightforward replacement and compatibility with CHPV modular fuse holders and HPV-DV inline holders, simplifying inventory and field service. Low watt losses at 0.8 W reduce heat buildup, improving overall system efficiency and enabling longer fuse life in dense PV installations. Compliance with RoHS and CE, along with UL Listed and IEC rated certifications, supports global deployment and regulatory proof-of-conformance, reducing procurement risk. The non-indicating PV-A10F design keeps upfront costs low while providing reliable protection for 10x38 mm fuse holders across multiple string configurations. Application-ready packaging (quantity 10) enables swift stocking for service teams and project-based deployments.

FAQs

PV-3A10F uses 10x38 mm ferrule ends and is designed to fit CHPV modular fuse holders and HPV-DV inline holders. When selecting a holder, verify clearance for 1000 Vdc systems, and ensure proper crimping to maintain fault current integrity. This reduces installation time and ensures consistent contact resistance across assemblies.
The fuse provides a 3 A amperage rating with a 50 kAIC interrupt rating and a fast 1–3 ms response time. It is rated for 1000 Vdc and features a pre-arc energy I2T of 4, with watt losses around 0.8 W, enabling swift fault interruption while minimizing heat generation in PV wiring harnesses.
Yes. It is designed for combiner boxes, inverters, and PV wire harnesses in commercial and industrial solar installations, protecting string sections and reducing risk during fault events. Its Class gPV rating ensures PV-specific protection, while the 10x38 mm format supports standard renewable-energy hardware.
PV-3A10F carries UL Listed (UL 2579), IEC Rated, CSA Certified, and CE Marked compliance, along with RoHS. These certifications support global deployment, safety assurance, and regulatory conformance for solar installations and equipment integration with standard protective devices.
The fuse’s low watt losses (0.8 W) reduce thermal buildup and cooling requirements, contributing to longer fuse life and lower energy losses. Fast fault clearing minimizes downtime, and compatibility with standard holders reduces spare-part inventory, consolidating procurement and maintenance costs over the life of the PV installation.
