PV installations are becoming larger, more powerful and more efficient - and SIBA has just the fuses that they need for protection.
As the energy transition continues to develop at pace, we are now seeing not only more solar power systems but also ever larger and more powerful installations of this kind. PV systems set up on interconnected apartment blocks or on industrial and commercial estates are now operating at increasingly high AC voltages of up to 800 V. Some of the solutions being developed here have even higher voltage ratings than this. These systems naturally place much higher demands on electrical safety than a small domestic installation, for example. And we have targeted our new range of products specifically at these mid-sized units.
What our fuses provide
Short-circuit protection
High-performance solar installations may be prone to high short-circuit currents. gG class and gRL class fuse links can protect against this. gRL fuses react even quicker in cutting off the current flow and will also reduce the forward currents.
Overload protection
Our gG class and gRL class fuses provide complete protection against overload. Both types also protect conductors and system components from damage.
Compact design
The gRL fuse accepts much higher current ratings – without any increase in the size of the fuse link. This means that the fuses can be made smaller than those in the gG class, thereby saving the user both space and cost.
Ready for the future
SIBA fuses also offer protection for the coming generation of inverters - and fuses with operating voltages of up to 1,000 V AC are already available for this market segment.
