Fuse Cartridges

The gPV cylindrical fuse cartridges are designed to provide compact, safe and economical protection of photovoltaic modules (field protection) with voltages up to 1,500 DC. They provide protection against both overload and short circuit (gPV class according to the requirements of IEC60269-6 and UL248-19 standards). Made of a ceramic tube with high internal pressure and thermal shock resistance, allowing high switching capacity in a small space. The contacts are made of silver-plated copper and the fusible elements of pure silver to avoid ageing and thus keep the electrical characteristics invariable. They are available in the sizes 10x38 mm, 10x85 mm and 22x58 mm.
