Cylindrical fuse link PV CH10x38 gPV 15A/1000V DC UL 002625112

Fuse link for photovoltaic installations

Cylindrical fuse link CH10x38 gPV 15A/1000V DC UL is a protective element dedicated to protecting photovoltaic installations from the effects of overloads and short circuits. The construction based on a gPV fuse ensures a quick and effective response in the event of a failure, minimizing the risk of damage to components and ensuring safe use. It is a key component in every PV system, guaranteeing reliable protection and long-term operation.

Construction and application

Fuse link with dimensions 10x38 mm and rated current 15A, designed to operate in circuits with a voltage of up to 1000V DC. The gPV characteristic (time-delay) makes it particularly resistant to short-term current surges that may occur during device start-up or with sudden load changes. This minimizes the risk of unnecessary shutdown of the installation. Use in photovoltaic systems ensures optimal protection against overvoltages and short circuits that may occur due to weather conditions or component damage.

Key features and benefits

• PV specialization: Designed with the specific requirements of photovoltaic installations in mind – the gPV characteristic provides optimal protection against the effects of short circuits and overloads in solar systems.
• High short-circuit interrupting capacity: Short-circuit interrupting capacity at 10kA DC guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a failure, protecting the remaining elements of the installation.
• Rated voltage 1000V DC: Allows use in a wide range of photovoltaic installations, meeting the requirements of most systems available on the market.
• Compliance with standards: Meets IEC 60269-6 and UL 2579 / UL 248-1 standards, confirming its safety and reliability. The UL E347771 certificate further guarantees the high quality of the product.
• Compact dimensions: Dimensions 10x38 mm allow for easy mounting in standard distribution boards and enclosures.
• Lead-free construction: Made of lead-free materials, which is in accordance with the latest environmental protection standards.
• Low power loss: Power loss at 2.2W (at rated voltage) minimizes energy losses in the installation.

Remember to install only by a qualified electrician or PV installer and disconnect the power before starting work!
