Where our fuses help out
They provide protection for the latest generation of string
inverters and help to reduce balance-of-system costs.
Short-circuit protection: High-performance solar installations
may be prone to high short-circuit currents. gG class and gRL
class fuse links can protect against this. Our gRL fuses react even
faster to interrupt current flow.
Overload protection: Our gG class and gRL class fuses provide
complete protection against overload. Both types also protect
conductors and system components from damage.
Compact design: The gRL fuse accepts much higher current
ratings – without any increase in the size of the fuse link. This
means that the fuses can be made smaller than those in the gG
