New alternative energy fuse products designed for specialised overcurrent protection

Bussmann, the industry leader in critical circuit protection, power management and electrical safety, has expanded its CUBEFuse™ portfolio of Class CF fuses for protecting solar and wind power generation installations. The finger-safe CUBEFuse design delivers the benefits of up to an 80% smaller footprint compared to other fuse solutions while limiting exposure to live parts for increased safety.

CUBEFuse™ with Photovoltaic and Wind Power Generation Fuses

Listed to UL 2579, the fast-acting PVCF photovoltaic version withstands extreme temperature cycling conditions ranging from -40° through 90°C. It is specifically designed to protect PV cell arrays by responding quickly to the lower fault current levels encountered in solar installations, and is available in 600Vdc ratings from 35 to 100 amps.

Recognised to UL 248, the fast-acting WCF wind power version is specially rated at 690Vac and available in ampacities from 1 to 100 amps along with special 30, 60 or 100A 690V rated ampacity rejecting holders that help prevent overfusing. With current-limiting Class J electrical performance, the wind power CUBEFuse increases electrical safety by reducing arc flash hazard levels.

Cooper Bussmann was acquired by Eaton Corporation in 2012, the company now operates as a brand under the Eaton name as Bussmann Series.
