BUSSMANN PV-20A10F Fuse, 20 A, 1000V DC

Bussmann PV-20A10F solar fuse is useful in photovoltaic and solar systems. It prevents overheating in solar thermal collectors.

Working Mechanism:

• When the temperature in the solar thermal collector reaches a certain threshold, the element inside the solar fuse expands rapidly.
• This expansion triggers a mechanical action that interrupts the flow of heat transfer or shuts down the solar circulation pump.
• This action prevents the system from reaching dangerously high temperatures that could damage components or compromise the system's safety.

Features:

• Bussmann PV-20A10F incorporates a low watts loss performance for energy efficiency.
• It has a low-temperature rise for more precise sizing.
• This cylindrical fuse has an interrupt rating of 50kA.
• It has a time constant of 1 - 3 milliseconds.
• This fuse has a ceramic body to insulate nearby components from an electric current due to accidental contact.

Compatible Accessories:

• Sta-Kon ERG4002 Ratcheting Crimper: This adjustable crimper is ideal for installing or adjusting a solar fuse.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the operational temperature range of this Bussmann PV-20A10F solar fuse?

A. This Bussmann solar fuse has an operational temperature range of -40 to 90 degrees C.

Q. Where is a solar fuse located in a system?

A. Solar fuses are usually placed near the collector or fluid lines, where they can closely monitor the temperature and respond rapidly to excessive heating.

Q. Can a solar fuse be used in conjunction with other safety measures?

A. Solar fuses can be part of a broader safety strategy, pressure relief valves and temperature sensors. Combining these measures enhances system reliability and minimises risks.
