Fuse protection
Fuse protection of the individual module strings depends on which solar modules are
dependent on the
present. A crucial factor is the maximum short circuit current (I

According to the criteria for selecting the correct fuse, the fuse must have a nominal
current greater than 1.5 times the short circuit current:
5.75 A x 1.5 = 8.625 A

NOTE! In underrated fuses, the nominal current value is less than the short
circuit current of the solar module.
Effect:
The fuse may trip in intensive lighting conditions.
NOTE! Only select fuses suitable for a voltage of 530 V DC!
