This family of Midget style fuses (10 x 38mm) can safely protect PV modules and conductors from reverse overcurrent conditions despite the associated challenges of DC power. As PV systems have grown in size, so have the corresponding voltage requirements. This increase in system voltage has typically been intended to minimize power loss associated with long conductor runs. Standard midget designs are not optimized for Solar Protection requirements. However, the SPF series is UL Recognized to safely interrupt circuits up to this demanding voltage level. Littelfuse offers thirteen ampere ratings to match designers’ specific requirements in applications including combiner boxes, inverters and battery charge controllers.
