Choosing the best
ABB sets performance standard
Ease of installation
E 90 fuse holders are fully compatible with the Unifix-L wiring system.
Reliability
Tip-top performance
E 90 fuse holders can be used in
any application where you need
to ensure electrical protection
and isolation.
Venting grooves and cooling
chambers improve heat dissipation
even in multiple-pole configurations.
The reduced operating temperature
inside fuse holders ensures
durability and reliability of the
devices over time.
The technology solutions applied
to reduce power dissipation help
minimize module heating.
Compactness
The compact dimensions enable
the switchboard door to be closed,
even when the fuse holder is open,
thus ensuring total safety during
maintenance.
Completeness
Fuse tripping can be easily
displayed, thanks to the special
blown fuse indicator light.
Universal use
Screw holes with increased
diameter accommodate insulated
screwdrivers and electric
screwdrivers. With the Pozidrive PZ2
screws, tightening can be performed
by exerting less torque than
conventional screws, and the same
electric screwdriver can be used for
all terminals.
Moreover, the PS connection
busbars facilitate the connecting
operations, making the wiring both
simple and safe, providing complete
integration with S 200 and SN 201
System pro M compact® circuit
breakers.

Isolation and protection of strings up to 1000 V
Application examples
String protection
To prevent damage to photovoltaic equipment on the DC side of
photovoltaic installations and to ensure that it remains isolated
when maintenance work is performed, E90 PV fuse holders
can be installed downstream of the inverter so that each string
is protected. The fuses must be selected to match the rated
current of the line.
Surge arrester back-up
When the short-circuit current at the installation point exceeds
100A DC, OVR PV surge arresters require back-up protection
with a specific gR-type fuse.
DC side of the inverter
In small photovoltaic installations, E 90 PV fuse holders can
be used to protect the direct current side of the inverter. Fuse
holder should be selected according to the inverter rated
current.

E 90 fuse holders
How to use it
The E 90 fuse holder design meets the most stringent security requirements. Beyond
the blown fuse indicator light, which provides a visual signal of the fuse break
condition, the fuse holders can be padlocked open and sealed closed to ensure
operator safety during maintenance operations.
1. E 90 fuse holders are IP20 finger safe,
ensuring operator safety against
accidentally touching live wires when
fuse holder is open.
2. Fuse holder profile has been designed
for maximum ease of use. The 90° flip
hinge with ergonomic knob makes the
replacement of fuses easier, even in
small spaces or when wearing
protective gloves.

3. To ensure protection and safety during
maintenance operations and to avoid
any accidental switching, fuse holders
can be sealed in closed position, and
padlocked in open position.
How to choose a protection system
When choosing a protection
system, an important feature
to consider is the power
dissipation of the system
“fuse + fuse holder.” It is
important to make sure that
the power dissipated by the
fuse does not exceed the limit
imposed by the fuse holder in
which it is installed.
Other external factors should be
taken into consideration:
- the current derating depends on the
number of poles in the installation
- the current derating depends on the
climatic conditions
Derating values
for E 90 fuse holders
The derating parameters in the table must be considered
if several poles are installed side by side or if the equipment
is installed in unusual climatic conditions.

Questions and answers
Technical details and insights for E 90 fuse holders and fuses
Why should I use a fuse for circuit protection?
What distinguishes a fuse holder for class CC fuses
(E 90/30 CC) from a fuse holder for IEC fuses?
There are 4 main reasons:
−− Safety: Fuses don’t cause dangerous situations (arcs, flames,
gas production) since they protect the circuit by blowing.
Moreover, the intervention speed on high short circuit currents
limits significantly the flash hazard at the fault location.
−− Reliability: When a fault is detected, the fuse operates,
providing protection. A new fuse is then installed, restoring
the protection to its original state. There is no risk of being
contaminated by oil, corrosion or dust and no unexpected
tripping.
−− Universal use: The fuse’s characteristics are standardized in
order to ensure effective coordination with other devices.
−− Economic: The fuse is still the most economical solution to
prevent damages caused by short-circuits and overloads.
Class CC fuse holders are provided with a rejection member to
prevent the installation of fuses of other classes according to
UL 4248-4.
E 90/30 CC assure the rejection member functionality that has
been certified by UL laboratories.
What is the difference between Midget and Class CC fuses?
Class CC fuses are current limiting fuses with rejection tips
on the bottom to prevent them from being used in holders
not rated similarly.
Midget fuses are defined as supplemental fuses and are
not rated for current limiting. They do not have rejection
tips because they can be used in most fuse holders
regardless of class ratings.
What are the main characteristics of a class CC fuse?
A class CC fuse meets the following three conditions:
−− Interrupts all available overcurrents within its interrupt rating.
−− Within its current limiting range, limits the clearing time at
rated voltage to an interval equal to, or less than, the first
major or symmetrical current loop duration.
−− Limits peak let-through current to a value less than the
available peak current.
