Welcome to Solar Industry



DC Fuses provide protection for ac/dc applications

UL listed to 600 Vac/dc, Limitron[R] DCM Fuses feature interrupting ratings of 100,000 A for ac applications and 50,000 A for dc. Developers of solar photovoltaic systems can utilize fuses to comply with NEC[R] 690.9(D) which requires that photovoltaic source circuits utilize overcurrent devices listed for dc circuits and have appropriate voltage and interrupting ratings. Additional applications include traction/mass transit auxiliary circuits and alternative energy sources. Developers of solar photovoltaic systems, which are used to convert solar energy into electricity for power generation, can utilize the new Cooper Bussmann DCM fuse to easily comply with NEC[R] 690.9(D) which requires that photovoltaic source circuits utilize overcurrent devices listed for dc circuits and having the appropriate voltage and interrupting ratings. Cooper Bussmann offers a whole product solution for photovoltaic applications, including the fuse, fuse holder, combiner box (sourced), disconnect and monitoring capability.

The DCM fuse also possesses additional advantages for other alternative applications, including a 600Vdc rating for electric and hybrid-electric vehicles, and dc listing requirements for wind power, fuel cells and dc control circuits. Furthermore, its small size, listing for dc use and a variety of fuse holders makes it ideal for traction and mass transit auxiliary circuits.
