FAQs
PV-5A10-1P is a 10x38 mm PV fuse with PCB fixing single pin, designed for easy insertion into CHPV modular fuse holders. Ensure correct orientation and clearance within the string enclosure, verify that the holder supports 10x38 mm fuses, and mount on a suitable PCB or panel surface to maintain a reliable electrical connection and thermal dissipation.
The device provides a 5 A amperage rating, 1000 Vdc voltage rating, and a 50 kAIC interrupt rating with a 1-3 ms time constant. This combination allows rapid fault interruption in PV strings, protecting modules and conductors from overcurrent while maintaining system uptime and reducing arc-related damage.
Yes. PV-5A10-1P is RoHS compliant, CE marked, UL Listed, and CSA Certified, with IEC 60269-6 type A classification for photovoltaic applications. These certifications support regulatory compliance, supplier qualification, and risk mitigation across multinational solar installations.
By delivering fast fault interruption (1-3 ms) and high interrupt rating, the fuse minimizes downtime, reduces module and wiring damage, and simplifies maintenance scheduling. Its compact form and low watt losses improve thermal stability, contributing to longer string life and lower life cycle costs in solar projects.
PV-5A10-1P is ideal for photovoltaic strings in commercial and utility-scale installations, particularly where CHPV modular fuse holders are used. Its 10x38 mm size, PCB-Fix single-pin mounting, and non-indicating design suit compact string boxes, module-level protection blocks, and consolidated protection schemes requiring fast, compliant PV fuses.
