Schurter introduces the new solar fuse ASO and fuseholder FSO with quick-acting characteristic to protect photovoltaic and similar DC-applications. The new product extend the strategic segment “renewable energy” with a 1000 VDC fuse with a current range from 1A to 30 A and a touch safe fuseholder FSO. As PV systems have grown in sitze, so have their circuit protection requirements such as voltage rating. This high performance DC fuse is in a compact 10.3x38 mm package.

The ASO fuse protects PV modules, conductors and similar DC-applications from the potentially devastating effects of a low short circuit current in systems upwards of 1000 VDC.
