Back up fuse
Fuses specifically designed for use on PV systems are recommended. Determine the most appropriate back up
fuse from assessment of the nominal current of the PV module, and the open circuit voltage of the PV array:
1. multiply the nominal current of the photovoltaic module by a factor of 1.4 and select the closest, higher
value fuse to the calculated figure.
2. multiply the open circuit voltage of the PV array by a factor of 1.2 and ensure that the selected fuse has a
higher voltage withstand than the calculated figure.
