8020.5017

A fuse is an electrical device used to protect electrical circuits, equipment, and components from excessive current. The 8020.5017 fuse is a gPV class fuse that has been specifically designed for photovoltaic, or PV, applications. It offers exceptional overcurrent protection of solar panels and other PV equipment.

The 8020.5017 fuse is a fast-acting Class J fuse with dual element construction. It is UL Listed and UL Recognized for use in equipment with operating voltages at 1000 volts DC and compliant with NEC 690.31 applications requiring 1000 volts DC ratings. The fuse\'s construction offers superior fault interruption capability that makes it suitable for use in AC and DC applications.

The 8020.5017 fuse’s current ratings are offered from 2 amp to 30 amp, with an interrupting rating of 100KA. These ratings protect overcurrents of up to seven times the rated current, enabling it to handle large surges with ease and providing the PV system with reliable protection from excessive current. Furthermore, the device’s Dual Element design offers an increase in response speed, allowing it to protect a PV system from potentially dangerous overcurrent situations faster than a single element fuse.

The 8020.5017 fuse is designed for photovoltaic applications, such as a solar array, junction boxes, and string combiners, and modules. The device is typically mounted in an electrical box and connected in series with the PV panel\'s output. In the event of an overcurrent situation, the fuse will blow, interrupting the circuit and protecting the PV system from damage.

The 8020.5017 fuse is a versatile device suitable for a wide variety of PV applications. Its Dual Element design allows it to quickly respond to overload conditions, and its high interrupting rating helps ensure the safety of PV systems. In addition, its UL Listing makes it ideal for use in NEC 690.3 applications, offering superior protection of photovoltaic systems.
