HERO BTZ700 DC Fuse, 80A 700V Protection, for Photovoltaic (PV) Systems, Cylindrical Body, PN: BTZ700 80A - Pack of 4

HERO BTZ700 DC Fuse (80A, 700V)

The HERO BTZ700 DC Fuse, rated at 80 Amperes and 700 Volts DC, is a high-capacity current protection device specifically designed for critical applications within direct current (DC) power systems, with a strong emphasis on photovoltaic (PV) solar installations. This gPV (general purpose photovoltaic) class fuse ensures robust and fast-acting protection against severe overcurrents and short-circuit faults that can occur in high-power PV strings, combiner boxes, and inverter DC inputs. Its specialized design for DC systems guarantees rapid fault interruption, effectively mitigating the risk of damage to expensive PV modules, wiring infrastructure, and power conversion equipment, thereby enhancing overall system reliability and safety. The standard cylindrical form factor allows for straightforward integration into appropriate fuse holders.
