Eaton's Bussmann series CHPV15H85 1500 V DC Fuse holder
Eaton Bussmann - Products for sustainable energy
10658 10x85 mm PV fuselinks
High-speed, high-reliability PV fuse is designed for DC solar protection, delivering fast fault clearing to minimize arc exposure and protect inverters and conductors, reducing maintenance cycles and extending component life. The 1500 Vdc rating accommodates utility-scale and rooftop PV strings, enabling safe operation across diverse installations and simplifying system design. A 3 A current rating paired with a 30 kAIC interrupt capability ensures quick fault interruption even in high-energy PV networks, improving system uptime and protecting critical power electronics. Classified as gPV with IEC 60269-6 type A, this fuse meets PV-specific standards, supporting compliance audits and grid code requirements while enabling standardized protection across projects. Low watt losses of 2.2 W mean cooler operation and lower thermal stress in dense PV strings, while non-indicating operation reduces maintenance complexity. Compatible CHPV15L85 fuse holders simplify retrofits and modular protection upgrades in existing arrays, helping installers achieve compact, scalable protection without bespoke hardware.
