3.4 DC Fuse selection
The fuses on the DC-Input of the inverter must have the following characteristics:
It is recommended to use gPV fuses, which are developed for solar application, in order to protect
cables and panels against reverse over current, when multiple strings are connected in parallel.
See chapter 3.5. for recommended gPV fuse manufacturer.
The photovoltaic fuses have to meet the IEC 60269-6 or the UL 2579 standard.
The maximum I
SC
PV and inverter back-feed current depend on the used DC fuses. Make sure that
the breaking capacity of the fuses is sufficient for the final application. Also, local regulations must
be taken into account.
See the tables below for recommended fuse sizes:
