  • Body Material: High-temperature resistant thermoplastic + ceramic arc-extinguishing tube
  • Termination: Bolt-down (M8/M10) for high-current connection
  • Certifications: IEC 60269-4, UL 248-13, ISO 8820

2. Core Design & Fast-Acting Principle

The GFEVT1500-74ES adopts a precision silver-plated fuse element with a multi-section narrow neck structure, enabling ultra-fast response to short-circuit faults. At 6–10× rated current (short circuit), the fuse element melts and arcs within ≤0.4s, with arc extinction completed in ≤0.1ms—critical for protecting IGBTs, MOSFETs, and diodes from overcurrent damage.
As an aR-class fuse, it strictly follows IEC 60269-4 rules: 1.0–1.25×In no melting (≥4h/1h), focusing solely on short-circuit protection without overload tripping, ensuring stable operation of DC systems under normal load.

3. Application Scenarios(High-Voltage DC Systems)

  • Electric Vehicles (EV/HEV): 1500V DC battery packs, motor controllers, and OBC systems
  • Energy Storage Systems (ESS): 1500V DC battery energy storage cabinets, BMS, and PCS
  • Photovoltaic (PV) Solar: 1500V DC solar combiner boxes, inverters, and string protection
  • Industrial DC Power: High-power rectifiers, welding machines, and DC charging piles

4. Technical Advantages & Compliance

  • 1500V DC High Voltage Rating: Adapt to new energy high-voltage platform trends
  • aR High-Speed Performance: 10kA breaking capacity, protects semiconductors in microseconds
