Eaton 160A Tag Fuse 217 x 82 x 94 mm 1kV, 167 mm

This tag fuse is a photovoltaic protective link designed to isolate and interrupt fault currents in solar arrays and combiners at system voltages up to 1000V DC It is suitable for installations where breaking low overcurrents from reverse current or multi‑array faults is required.

• 160A rating provides high‑current protection for PV strings
• 1000V DC capability enables use in common PV system architectures
• gPV class operation interrupts photovoltaic fault currents safely
• Minimum interrupting rating of 2xIn offers conservative fault clearing
• Revised bolting pattern allows interchange with larger‑size mounts

• Suitable for protective isolation in photovoltaic array combiners
• Ideal for DC disconnects in commercial solar installations
• Used for inverter input protection where string isolation is required
• Can be used for multi‑array fault mitigation in solar farms

The fuse exhibits defined IEC/UL breaking capacities with specified I²t and total energy characteristics for fault clearing at 1000V DC, ensuring controlled interruption of prospective currents in PV systems.

It is compatible with Eaton Bussmann XL fuse bases and an extraction handle sized for XL bodies

The bolting arrangement for this variant matches the larger body pattern, permitting use of either size 2XL or 3L fuse links without altering the mounting layout of inverters, combiners or disconnects.

The device conforms to photovoltaic fuse classifications for gPV operation and follows IEC and UL testing standards relevant to PV fuse links.
