720110 10x38 mm PV fuses
High voltage capacity and current rating enable direct protection of PV strings up to 1000 Vdc and 6 A. This translates to improved system safety and reduced risk of module damage during short circuits or overloads, particularly in utility-scale and rooftop installations. Use in photovoltaic strings across commercial solar projects reduces the need for retrofits and ensures consistent protection across banked modules. Fast response with a 1–3 ms time constant and a pre-arc I2T of 30 minimizes arcing energy and material stress in faults. The result is lower energy release, reduced module hot spots, and fewer downstream faults, improving array uptime. Class gPV construction and broad certifications support multi-region compliance (IEC Rated, UL Listed, CSA Certified, CCC) and RoHS/CE marking. This provides confidence in procurement and reduces qualification time, accelerating project timelines. Compact 10 x 38 mm form factor with PCB-fixing double pins simplifies mechanical integration and automated assembly. The device is easily mounted in CHPV modular fuse holders, cutting installation time and inventory complexity. Energy efficiency is enhanced by low watt losses of 1.8 W, preserving PV string yield in the long term. Minimal parasitic heat also lowers thermal stress in dense arrays, supporting maintenance intervals and reliability.

FAQs
The PV-6A10-2P is fitted with PCB fixing double pins and a 10 x 38 mm footprint, designed for straightforward installation into CHPV modular fuse holders. Ensure the string voltage is within 1000 Vdc, secure the fuse using the double-pin terminals, and confirm proper polarity and clearance per system design. This setup minimizes wiring complexity and supports automated assembly in solar inverters and combiner boxes.
It combines a 1000 Vdc rating with a 6 A amperage rating and a 50 kAIC interrupt capability, delivering fast protection at high voltage while limiting arc energy. This makes it particularly effective for rooftop and utility-scale PV strings where voltage transients and short circuits pose significant risk to modules and wiring.
Yes. The device is IEC rated, UL Listed, and CSA Certified, with RoHS compliant and CE markings. These certifications support cross-border deployments, simplifying procurement, supplier qualification, and regulatory compliance for global solar projects.
Key specs include 6 A amperage rating, 1000 Vdc voltage rating, 50 kAIC interrupt rating, Class gPV designation, 1–3 ms time constant, and a 10 x 38 mm fuse size. These parameters define fast, high-voltage protection suitable for PV strings and CHPV holders.
Low watt losses of 1.8 W minimize parasitic heating in dense arrays, helping sustain energy yield over time and reduce thermal stress. The fast response reduces arc energy and downtime, supporting higher up-time in solar deployments and potentially lowering maintenance costs and service intervals.
