10201 XL PV fuses
High-speed 80 A, 1500 Vdc rating delivers rapid fault clearance, reducing arc energy and potential module damage in PV strings. This translates to shorter downtime and lower repair costs, particularly in utility-scale installations where fault currents are high. Application: PV array combiners and disconnects benefit from Class gPV protection and a visible top indicator for quick status checks. The compact form factor (53 mm x 39 mm x 23 mm) with blade connections fits standard SD1XL-S-PV bases, enabling faster commissioning and fewer wiring errors. Business impact: easier installation, reduced field labor time, and improved reliability in rooftop and ground-mount projects. Certifications and compliance ensure regulatory clearance across international sites, streamlining procurement and site acceptance. Additional advantages include predictable heat generation (30 W watt losses) and a robust 30 kAIC interrupt rating that supports high fault currents without compromising safety.

FAQs
PV-80A-01XL-15 is designed for blade connections and is compatible with the SD1XL-S-PV XL Fuse base. For best results, ensure correct blade inlet orientation, secure mounting, and that conductor sizes match the fuse base specifications. This compatibility supports straightforward field replacement and efficient maintenance, reducing commissioning time on both rooftop and ground-mounted PV systems.
Pre-arc I2T of 950 A²s indicates the fuse can withstand a certain energy before arcing forms, while the 30 kAIC interrupt rating ensures fast, fault-current interruption without excessive arc energy. Together they translate to safer transitions during faults, minimized damage to PV modules and wiring, and improved safety margins in high-current PV strings found in utility-scale installations.
Yes, with an 80 A rating and 1500 Vdc capacity, PV-80A-01XL-15 suits string-level protection in rooftops and commercial installations. It is designed for photovoltaic array combiners and disconnects, offering a top-status indicator for quick checks. Always verify conductor sizing, enclosure clearance, and the local standards (UL IEC CE) to ensure compliance in your specific region.
PV-80A-01XL-15 carries UL Listed, IEC 60269 compliance, and CE RoHS marking, along with CSA certification. These certifications support global deployment, simplify procurement across markets, and help meet regulatory and safety requirements for solar protection devices used in diverse climates and installation types.
The top fuse status indicator provides immediate visual confirmation of fuse health, reducing routine inspection time and speeding fault diagnosis. This leads to lower maintenance labor costs, faster repair cycles, and improved system uptime—critical metrics for ROI in utility-scale and commercial PV projects where downtime directly impacts energy production and revenue.
