10*38mm Solar PV Cylindrical Fuse

The 10x38mm Solar PV Cylindrical Fuse is engineered specifically for overcurrent and short-circuit protection in photovoltaic (PV) strings, combiner boxes, inverters, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Description

Product Overview

 

The 10x38mm Solar PV Cylindrical Fuse is engineered specifically for overcurrent and short-circuit protection in photovoltaic (PV) strings, combiner boxes, inverters, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Rated up to 1500V DC, this gPV class fuse utilizes a high-purity silver element and a reinforced ceramic body to deliver precise current limiting and reliable fault isolation under extreme outdoor environments.

Advanced Craftsmanship & Materials

 

Pure Silver Fuse Element (99.99% Ag): Laser-stamped silver ribbons ensure ultra-precise I2t melting characteristics and minimal power dissipation, preventing false tripping caused by cyclic temperature swings.
C795 Alumina Ceramic Tube: Features superior thermal shock resistance and a tensile strength of 200 MPa or higher, ensuring no body fracturing during high-energy 30kA short-circuit interruptions.
High-Purity Quartz Sand Filler (Minimum 99.5% SiO2): Processed via automatic grain-size distribution filling and compacted to optimize arc-quenching speed and prevent internal flashovers.
Anti-Corrosion Cap Contact: Silver-plated copper caps provide contact resistance of less than 0.2 mOhm, effectively reducing temperature rise (Delta T less than or equal to 45K at In) in sealed combiner boxes. 

 

Custom Manufacturing & OEM/ODM Services

 

We support global Tier-1 solar brands and EPC contractors with flexible customized solutions:


Electrical Parameter Customization: Tailored I2t characteristics for specific inverter or BESS pre-arc protection requirements.
Private Labeling & Branding: Laser-marking logo, custom part numbers, and barcode scanning integration directly on the ceramic body.
Custom Terminals: Integration with extended PCB solder tags, bolt-on brackets, or customized fuse clips.

FAQ

 

Q: Does this fuse comply with international solar grid access codes?

A: Yes. Our fuses are designed and tested strictly in accordance with IEC 60269-6 and UL 248-19 standards. We provide complete Type Test Reports from independent third-party laboratories to assist your system certification.

Q: What is the power consumption (watts loss) of your 10x38mm fuses?

A: Our fuses are optimized for low power loss. For example, the 15A model has a typical watts loss of 3.5W or less at rated current, which is well below the maximum limit allowed by IEC 60269-6, ensuring minimized heat generation inside combiner boxes.

Q: How does the ambient temperature affect the fuse performance in outdoor PV arrays?

A: Photovoltaic systems frequently operate in extreme heat. When the ambient temperature inside the enclosure exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, a temperature derating factor must be applied (e.g., 0.90 at 60 degrees Celsius). Contact our engineering team to receive the detailed Temperature Derating and I2t Curves for precise system sizing.

Q: What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom branding?

A: For standard laser-marked private logos on the ceramic body, the MOQ is 5,000 pcs per rating. For standard neutral packaging, there is no strict MOQ if stock components are available.

Q: How do you ensure product consistency across mass production batches?

A: Every single batch undergoes rigorous quality control gates: 100% automated visual inspection, cold resistance (Rg) verification, and continuous X-ray internal alignment sampling. We strictly maintain trace codes printed on each batch for full quality tracking back to raw materials.

Q: Are these fuses compatible with standard 10x38mm DIN-rail fuse holders?

A: Yes, they feature a standard diameter of 10.3mm (plus or minus 0.1mm) and a length of 38.0mm (plus or minus 0.6mm), making them fully compatible with all major global brands of DIN-rail mountable PV fuse holders and disconnect switches.
