HERO BTZ700 DC Fuse, 60A 700V Protection, for Photovoltaic (PV) Systems, Cylindrical Body, PN: BTZ700 60A - Pack of 4

HERO BTZ700 DC Fuse (60A, 700V)

The HERO BTZ700 DC Fuse, with its 60 Ampere and 700 Volt DC rating, is a crucial safety component designed for robust overcurrent and short-circuit protection in high-power direct current (DC) circuits, particularly within photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems. This gPV (general purpose photovoltaic) class fuse is engineered to address the unique challenges of DC fault interruption, ensuring rapid and definitive clearance of fault currents emanating from PV arrays, string combiners, and inverter inputs. Its fast-acting characteristic effectively prevents damage to expensive PV modules, wiring, and power conversion equipment, thereby enhancing system reliability and operational safety. The standard cylindrical body allows for seamless integration into existing fuse holders and distribution enclosures.
