■ Overview

Rated voltage Un

The rated voltage is the designated voltage of the fuse and is 

used to determine its test conditions and operational voltage 

limits.

For LV HRC and SITOR fuse links, the rated voltage is always the 

r.m.s. value of an AC voltage.

In the case of NEOZED and DIAZED fuse links, a distinction is 

made between AC and DC voltage values.

Rated current In

The rated current of a fuse link is the designated current of the 

fuse link and is the current up to which it can be continuously 

loaded under prescribed conditions without adverse affects.

Rated frequency

The rated frequency is the frequency for which the fuse link is 

rated with regard to power dissipation, current, voltage, 

characteristic curve and breaking capacity.

Selectivity

Several fuses are usually connected in series in one system. And 

when things get serious, selectivity ensures that only the faulty 

electrical circuit of a system is switched off and not the entire 

operational process.

Siemens fuses of operational class gG, at an operational voltage 

of up to 400 V AC and a ratio of 1:1.25, are interselective, i.e. 

from rated current level to rated current level. This is achieved by 

means of the considerably smaller spread of ± 5% of the 

time/current characteristics, which far exceeds the demand for 

a ratio of 1:1.6 specified in the standard. 

It is therefore possible to use smaller conductor cross-sections 

due to the lower rated currents.

Breaking capacity

The rated breaking capacity is the highest prospective short￾circuit current lp that the fuse link can blow under prescribed 

conditions.

A key feature of these fuses is their high rated breaking capacity 

with the smallest footprint. The basic demands and circuit data 

for tests – voltage, power factor, actuating angle etc.– are 

specified in both national (DIN VDE 0636) and international 

(IEC 60269) regulations.

However, for a constant failsafe breaking capacity, from the 

smallest non-permissible overload current through to the highest 

breaking current, a number of quality characteristics need to be 

taken into account when designing and manufacturing fuse 

links. These include the design of the fuse element with regard 

to dimensions and punch dimension and its position in the fuse 

body, as well as its compressive strength and the thermal 

resistance of the body. The chemical purity, particle size and the 

density of the quartz sand also play a key role.

The rated breaking capacity for AC voltage for NEOZED- and 

the majority of DIAZED fuses - is 50 kA, and in the case of our 

NH fuse systems, it is even 120 kA. The various type ranges of 

SITOR fuses have different switching capacities ranging from 

50 to 100 kA.

.

Faster arcing and precise arc quenching are the requirements for a 

reliable breaking capacity.

Operational classes

Fuses are categorized according to function and operational 

classes. The first letter defines the function class and the second 

the object to be protected:

1st letter

a = Partial range protection 

(accompanied fuses):

Fuse links that carry currents at least up to their rated current 

and can switch currents above a specific multiple of their rated 

current up to their rated breaking current.

g = Full range protection

(general purpose fuses):

Fuse links that can continuously carry currents up to at least their 

specified rated current and can switch currents from the 

smallest melting current through to the breaking current. 

Overload and short-circuit protection.

2nd letter

G = Cable and line protection 

(general applications)

M = Switching device protection in motor circuits 

(for protection of motor circuits)

R, S= Semiconductor protection/thyristor protection 

(for protection of rectifiers)

L = Cable and line protection 

(in acc. with the old, no longer valid DIN VDE)

B = Mine equipment protection

Tr = Transformer protection

The designations "slow" and "quick" still apply for DIAZED fuses. 

These are defined in IEC/CEE/DIN VDE. 

In the case of "quick" characteristics, the fuse blows in the 

breaking range faster than those of the gG operational class. 

In the case of DIAZED fuse links for DC railway network 

protection, the "slow" characteristic is particularly suitable for 

switching off direct currents with greater inductance. Both 

characteristics are also suitable for the protection of cables and 

lines. 

Full range fuses (gG, gR, quick, slow) reliably break the current 

in the event of non-permissible overload and short-circuit 

currents.

Partial range fuses (aM, aR) exclusively serve short-circuit 

protection.

The following operational classes are included in the product 

range:

gG (DIN VDE/IEC) = Full range cable and line protection

aM (DIN VFE/IEC) = Partial ranges switching device

protection

aR (DIN VDE/IEC) = Partial range semiconductor protection

gR (DIN VDE/IEC) = Full range semiconductor protection

gS (DIN VDE/IEC) = Full range semiconductor protection and 

cable and line protection 

quick (DIN VDE/IEC/CEE) = Full range cable and 

line protection 

slow (DIN VDE) = Full range cable and line protection

Characteristic curves (time/current characteristic curves)

The time/current characteristic curve specifies the virtual time 

(e.g. the melting time) as a function of the prospective current 

under specific operating conditions.

Melting times of fuse links are shown in the time/current 

diagrams with logarithmic scale and depending on their 

currents. The melting time characteristic curve runs from the 

smallest melting current, which just about melts the fuse 

element, asymptotic to the I2t lines of the same joule value in the 

range of the higher short-circuit currents, which specifies the 

constant melting heat value I2t. To avoid overcomplication, the 

time/current characteristics diagrams omit the I2t lines (c).

General representation of the time/current characteristic curve of a fuse 

link of gL/gG operational class

Imin: Smallest melting current

a: Melting time/current characteristic 

b: OFF time characteristic curve

c: I2t line 

The shape of the characteristic curve depends on the outward 

heat transfer from the fuse element. DIN VDE 0636 specifies 

tolerance-dependent time/current ranges within which the 

characteristic curves of the fuse must lie. Deviations of ±10 % 

are permissible in the direction of the current axis. With Siemens 

LV HRC fuse links of gG operational class, the deviations work 

out at less than ±5 %, a mark of our outstanding production 

accuracy. For currents up to approx. 20 In, the melting time￾current characteristic curves are the same as the OFF-time 

characteristic curves. In the case of higher short-circuit currents, 

the two characteristic curves move apart, influenced by the 

respective arc quenching time. 

The difference between both lines (= arc quenching time) also 

depends on the power factor, the operational voltage and the 

breaking current.

The Siemens characteristic curves show the mean virtual 

melting time characteristic curves recorded at an ambient 

temperature of (20 ±5) °C. They do not apply to preloaded fuse 

links.

Virtual time tv

The virtual time is the time span calculated when a I2t value is 

divided by the square of the prospective current:

The time/current characteristic curve specifies the prospective 

current Ip and the virtual melting time tvs.

Prospective short-circuit current Ip

The prospective short-circuit current is the r.m.s. value of the 

line-frequency AC component, or the value of the direct current 

to be expected in the event of a short-circuit occurring after the 

fuse, were the fuse to be replaced by a component of negligible 

impedance.

Let-through current characteristic curves

The let-through current characteristic curve specifies the value 

of the let-through current at 50 Hz as a function of the 

prospective current.

The let-through current Ic is the maximum instantaneous value of 

the current reached during a switching operation of the fuse.

The fuse element of the fuse links melts so quickly at very high 

currents that the surge short-circuit current Ip is prevented from 

occurring. The highest instantaneous value of the current 

reached during the shutdown cycle is called the let-through 

current Ic. The current limitations are specified in the current 

limiting diagrams, otherwise known as let-through current 

diagrams.

Introduction

Current limitation

As well as a failsafe rated breaking capacity, the current-limiting 

effect of a fuse link is of key importance for the cost effectiveness 

of a system. In the event of short-circuit breaking by a fuse, the 

breaking current continues to flow through the network until the 

fuse link is switched off. However, the breaking current is limited 

by the system impedance.

The simultaneous melting of all the bottlenecks of a fuse element 

produce a sequence of tiny partial arcs that ensure a fast 

breaking operation with strong current limiting. The current 

limitation is also strongly influenced by the production quality of 

the fuse - which in the case of Siemens fuses is extremely high. 

For example, an LV HRC fuse link, size 2 (224 A) limits a breaking 

current with a possible r.m.s. value of approximately 50 kA to a 

let-through current with a peak value of approx. 18 kA. This 

strong current limitation provides constant protection for the 

system against excessive loads.

Rated power dissipation

Rated power dissipation is the power loss during the load of a 

fuse link with its rated current under prescribed conditions.

The cost effectiveness of a fuse depends largely on the rated 

power dissipation (power loss). This should be as low as 

possible and have low self-heating. However, when assessing 

the power loss of a fuse, it must also be taken into account that 

there is a physical dependence between the rated breaking 

capacity and the rated power dissipation. On the one hand, fuse 

elements need to be thick in order to achieve the lowest possible 

resistance value, on the other, a high rated breaking capacity 

requires the thinnest possible fuse elements in order to achieve 

reliable arc quenching.

Siemens fuses have the lowest possible rated power dissipation 

while also providing the highest possible load breaking 

reliability.

These values lie far below the limit values specified in the 

regulations. This means low temperature rises, reliable breaking 

capacity and high cost effectiveness.

I2t value

The I2t value (joule integral) is the integral of the current squared 

over a specific time interval:

Specifies the I2t values for the melting process (I2ts) and for the 

shutdown cycle (I2tA, - sum of melting and quenching I2t value). 

The melting I2t value, also known as the total I2t value or 

breaking I2t value, is particularly important when dimensioning 

SITOR fuses for semiconductor protection. This value depends 

on the voltage and is specified with the rated voltage.

Peak arc voltage Ûs

The peak arc voltage is the highest value of the voltage that 

occurs at the contacts of the fuse link during the arc quenching 

time.

Residual value factor RW

The residual value factor is a reduction factor for determining the 

permissible load period of the fuse link with currents that exceed 

the permissible load current In' (see rated current In). This factor 

is applied when dimensioning SITOR fuses for semiconductor 

protection.

Varying load factor WL

The varying load factor is a reduction factor for the rated current 

with varying load states. This factor is applied when 

dimensioning SITOR fuses for semiconductor protection.

Recovery voltage Uw

The recovery voltage (r.m.s. value) is the voltage that occurs at 

the contacts of a fuse link after the power is cut off.

■ Overview 

The NEOZED fuse system is primarily used in distribution 

technology and industrial switchgear assemblies. The system is 

easy to use and is also approved for domestic installation. 

The MINIZED switch disconnectors are primarily used in 

switchgear assemblies and control engineering. They are 

approved for switching loads as well as for safe switching in the 

event of short circuits. The MINIZED D02 is also suitable for use 

in the precounter sector in household applications in 

compliance with the recommendations of the VDEW according 

to TAB 2007.

Due to its small footprint, the MINIZED D01 fuse switch 

disconnector is primarily used in control engineering. 

The NEOZED fuse bases are the most cost-effective solution for 

the application of NEOZED fuses. All NEOZED bases must be 

fed from the bottom to ensure that the threaded ring is insulated 

during removal of the fuse link. The terminals of the NEOZED 

bases are available in different versions and designs to support 

the various installation methods.

■ Overview 

The DIAZED fuse system is one of the oldest fuse systems in the 

world. It was developed by Siemens as far back as 1906. It is still 

the standard fuse system in many countries to this day. It is 

particularly widely used in the harsh environments of industrial 

applications.

The series is available with rated voltages from 500 A to 750 V.

All DIAZED bases must be fed from the bottom to ensure an 

insulated threaded ring when the fuse link is being removed. 

Reliable contact of the fuse links is only ensured when used 

together with DIAZED screw adapters. 

The terminals of the DIAZED bases are available in different 

versions and designs to support the various installation 

methods.

The high-performing EZR bus-mounting system for screw fixing 

is an outstanding feature. The busbars, which are particularly 

suited for bus-mounting bases, have a load capacity of up to 

150 A with lateral infeed.

DIAZED stands for Diametral gestuftes zweiteiliges 

Sicherungssystem mit Edisongewinde (diametral two-step fuse 

system with Edison screw).

Cylindrical fuse links and 

cylindrical fuse holders, 3NW6, 3NW7, 3NW8

24 Siemens · 2012

■ Overview

Cylindrical fuses are standard in Europe. There are a range of 

different cylindrical fuse links and holders that comply with the 

standards IEC 60269-1, -2 and -3, and which are suitable for use 

in industrial applications. In South West Europe they are also 

approved for use in residential buildings. 

The cylindrical fuse holders are also approved to UL 512. The 

cylindrical fuse holders are tested and approved as fuse 

disconnectors according to the switching device standard 

IEC 60947-3. They are not suitable for switching loads. 

Cylindrical fuse holders can be supplied with or without signal 

detectors. In the case of devices with signal detector, a small 

electronic device with LED is located behind an inspection 

window in the plug-in module. If the inserted fuse link is tripped, 

this is indicated by the LED flashing.

The switching state of the fuse holder can be signaled over a 

side-mounted auxiliary switch, which enables the integration of 

the fuses in the automation process.

Compact fuse holders for

motor starter combinations, 3NW7

33 Siemens · 2012

■ Overview 

Fused motor starter combinations can be configured with the 

fuse holders. The contactor and the fuse holder can be mounted 

directly next to each other. 

The strong current-limiting fuses ensure a type 2 protection level 

(coordination according to IEC 60947-4, no damage protection) 

for the contactor.

The UL version has an SCCR value of 200 kA.

Cylindrical fuse holder Class CC with signal detector and mounted 

auxiliary switch

The accessories are generally UL-certified.

Customers can mount an auxiliary switch which signals the 

switching state or prevents the fuse holder from switching off 

under load by interrupting the contactor control, thus increasing 

safety for the operator and process.

Busbars and a matching three-phase feeder terminals complete 

the product range.

Installation configuration of a cylindrical fuse holder and a SIRIUS 

contactor on busbar adapter for the 60 mm busbar system.

Fuse Systems

Class CC fuse system, 

3NW7, 3NW1, 3NW2, 3NW3

36 Siemens · 2012

■ Overview

Class CC fuses are used for "branch circuit protection". 

The enclosed fuse holders are designed and tested to comply 

with the US National Electrical Code NEC 210.20(A). This means 

that when subject to continuous operation, only 80 % of the rated 

current is permissible as operational current. 

An operational current of 100 % of the rated current (30 A) is only 

permissible short-time.

The devices are prepared for the inscription labels of the 

ALPHA FIX terminal blocks 8WH8 120-7AA15 and 

8WH8 120-7XA05.

There are three different series:

• Characteristic: slow 3NW1 ...-0HG 

For the protection of control transformers, reactors, 

inductances. Significantly slower than the minimum 

requirements specified by UL for Class CC Fuses of

12 s at 2 × In.

• Characteristic: quick 3NW2 ...-0HG 

For a wide range of applications, for the protection of lighting 

installations, heating, control systems.

• Characteristic: slow, current-limiting, 3NW3 ...-0HG 

Slow for overloads and quick for short circuits. High current 

limitation for the protection of motor circuits.

LV HRC Fuse Systems

LV HRC fuse links, 3NA, 3ND

43 Siemens · 2012

■ Overview

LV HRC fuse systems (NH type) are used for installation systems 

in non-residential, commercial and industrial buildings as well as 

in systems of power supply companies. They therefore protect 

essential building parts and installations.

NH fuse systems are fuse systems designed for operation by 

experts. There are no constructional requirements for non￾interchangeability of rated current and touch protection.

The components and auxiliary equipment are designed in such 

a way as to ensure the safe replacement of NH fuses or isolation 

of systems.

LV HRC fuse links are available in the sizes 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 

and 4a.

LV HRC fuse links are available in the following operational 

classes:

• gG for cable and line protection

• aM for the short-circuit protection of switching devices in 

motor circuits 

• gR or aR for the protection of power semiconductors 

• gS: The new gS operational class combines cable and line 

protection with semiconductor protection. 

LV HRC fuse links of size 000 can also be used in 

LV HRC fuse bases, LV HRC fuse switch disconnectors, 

LV HRC fuse strips as well as LV HRC in-line fuse switch 

disconnectors of size 00. 

The fuse links 300 A, 355 A and 425 A comply with the standard 

but do not have the VDE mark.

LV HRC Fuse Systems

LV HRC signal detectors, 3NX1

46 Siemens · 2012

■ Overview

LV HRC signal detectors are used for remotely indicating that the 

LV HRC fuse links have been tripped. 3 different solutions are 

available:

• 3NX1 021 signal detectors with signal detector link 

The LV HRC signal detectors with signal detector link support 

monitoring of LV HRC fuse links with non-insulated grip lugs of 

sizes 000 to 4 at 10 A or more. The signal detector link is 

connected in parallel to the LV HRC fuse link. In the event of a 

fault, the LV HRC fuse links are released simultaneously with 

the LV HRC fuse signaling link. A tripping pin switches a 

floating microswitch

• 3NX1 024 signal detector top

The signal detector top can be used with LV HRC fuse links, 

sizes 000, 00, 1 and 2, which are equipped with non-insulated 

grip lugs and have a front indicator or combination alarm. It is

• 5TT3 170 fuse monitors

If a fuse is tripped, the front indicator springs open and 

switches a floating microswitch. This solution should not be 

used for safety-relevant plants. For this purpose, we 

recommend our electronic fuse monitors.

■ Overview

Terminals for all applications

Flat terminals with screws are suitable for connecting busbars or 

cable lugs. They have a torsion-proof screw connection with 

shim, spring washer and nut. When tightening the nut, always 

ensure compliance with the specified torque due to the 

considerable leverage effect.

The double busbar terminal differs from the flat terminal in that it 

supports connection of two busbars, one on the top and one at 

the bottom of the flat terminal.

The modern box terminal ensures efficient and 

reliable connection to the conductors. They support connection 

of conductors with or without end sleeves.

With the flat terminal with nut, the terminal lug of the nut is 

torsion-proof. When tightening the nut, the torque must be 

observed because of the considerable leverage effect.

Up to three conductors can be clamped to the terminal strip.

The plug-in terminal is equipped for connecting two conductors. One conductor can be clamped to the saddle-type terminal.

■ More information

Space requirements when installing LV HRC fuse bases

1) This measurement specifies the required overall mounting depth with base 

d and the overall mounting height h.

2) Placing an additional base on the barrier and plug-on part does not 

increase the distance, rather the bases lie flat directly on top of one 

another.

3) If the bases are installed directly on a side wall in the distribution board, 

one spacer part can be broken off. This would reduce the distance 

measurement.

■ More information

Load capability with increased ambient temperature

The time/current characteristic of the NEOZED/DIAZED/LV HRC 

fuse links is based on an ambient temperature of 20 °C ±5 °C in 

accordance with DIN VDE 0636. When used in higher ambient 

temperatures (see diagram) a reduced load-carrying capacity 

must be planned for. At an ambient temperature of 50 °C, for 

example, an LV HRC fuse link should be dimensioned for only 

90 % of the rated current. While the short-circuit behavior is not 

influenced by an increased ambient temperature, it is influenced 

by overload and operation at rated value.

Influence of the ambient temperature on the load capability of NEOZED, 

DIAZED and NH fuse systems of gG operational class with natural 

convection in the distribution board.

Assignment of cable and line protection

When gG fuses are assigned for cable and line protection 

against overloading, the following conditions must be met in 

order to comply with DIN VDE 0100 Part 430:

(1) IB = In = Iz (rated current rule)

(2) I2 = 1.45 x Iz (tripping rule)

IB: Operational current of electrical circuit

In: Rated current of selected protective device

Iz: Permissible current carrying capacity of the cable or line 

under specified operating conditions

I2: Tripping current of the protective device under specified 

operating conditions ("conventional test current").

These days, the factor 1.45 has become an internationally 

accepted compromise of the protection and utilization ratio of a 

line, taking into account the breaking behavior of the protective 

device (e.g. fuse).

In compliance with the supplementary requirements for 

DIN VDE 0636, Siemens fuse links of gG operational class 

comply with the following conditions:

"Load breaking switching with I2=1.45 × In during conventional 

test duration under special test conditions in accordance with 

the aforementioned supplementary requirements of 

DIN VDE 0636".

This therefore permits direct assignment.

■ Overview 

SITOR fuses protect power semiconductors from the effects of 

short circuits because the super quick disconnect characteristic 

is far quicker than with conventional LV HRC fuses. They protect 

expensive devices and system components, such as converters 

with fuses in the input and the DC link, UPS systems and soft 

starters for motors. 

Panel mounting requirements have given rise to various connec￾tion versions and designs. 

The fuses with blade contacts comply with IEC 60269-2 and are 

suitable for installation in LV HRC fuse bases, in LV HRC fuse 

switch disconnectors and switch disconnectors with fuses. They 

also include fuses with slotted blade contacts for screw fixing 

with 110 mm mounting dimension, whose sizes are according to 

IEC 60269-4.

Fuses with slotted blade contacts for screw fixing with 80 mm or 

110 mm mounting dimension are often screwed directly onto 

busbars for optimum heat dissipation. Even better heat transmis￾sion is provided by the compact fuses with M10 or M12 female 

thread, which are also mounted directly onto busbars.

Bolt-on links with 80 mm mounting dimension are another panel￾mounting version for direct busbar mounting.

The fuses for SITOR thyristor sets, railway rectifiers or electro￾lysis systems were developed specially for these applications.

The LV HRC bases useable for SITOR fuses and safety switching 

devices are on page 47 et.seq. 

The fuse characteristic curves and configuration information and 

the assignment of SITOR fuses to the 3NP and 3KL fuse bases 

and safety switching devices can be found on the Internet 

http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/14474639/

134300 or

www.siemens.com/lowvoltage/manuals

The new size 3 type ranges have a round ceramic body instead 

of a square one. These series are characterized by small I²t 

values with low power dissipation and high capability under 

alternating load. The dimensions and functional dimensions 

correspond to the current standards IEC 60269-4/ EN 60269-4 

(VDE 0636-4).

Note:

The ordering data of the fuses are listed in ascending order of 

the rated voltage in the selection tables.

Characteristics

SITOR fuse links protect converter equipment against short 

circuits. 

The power semiconductors used in these devices (diodes, 

thyristors, GTOs and others) require high-speed elements for 

protection due to their low thermal capacity. SITOR fuse links 

(super quick fuse links for semiconductor protection) are ideal 

for this type of application.

The following types of short-circuit faults can occur:

• Internal short circuit: 

A faulty semiconductor device causes a short circuit within the 

power converter.

• External short circuit: 

A fault in the load causes a short circuit on the output side of 

the power converter.

• Inverter shoot-throughs: 

In the event of a failure of the chassis converter control system 

during inverter operation (commutation failure), the converter 

connection forms a short-circuit type connection between the 

DC and AC power supply system.

Fuse links can be arranged in a number of ways within the con￾verter connection. A distinction is made between phase fuses in 

three-phase current incoming feeders and, if applicable, DC 

fuses and arm fuses in the arms of the converter connections 

(see adjacent graphs). In the case of center tap connections, 

fuse links can only be arranged as phase fuses in three-phase 

current incoming feeders.

When using SITOR fuse links of operational class aR, the over￾load protection of converter equipment, up to approx.3.5 times 

the rated current of the fuse link, is taken from conventional pro￾tective devices (for example, thermal-delayed overload relays) 

or, in the case of controlled power converters, from the current 

limiter (exception: full range fuses).

As semiconductor protection, SITOR fuse links of the 3NE1 ...-0 

series with gS operational class are also suitable for the overload 

and short-circuit protection of cables, lines and busbars. All 

other dual-function fuses of the SITOR series have a gR charac￾teristic. Overload protection is ensured as long as the rated cur￾rent of the SITOR fuse links of the series 3NE1 ...-0 is selected as 

In ≤ Iz (DIN VDE 0100 Part 430).

The rules of DIN VDE 0100 Part 430 must be applied when rating 

short-circuit protection for cables, lines and busbars.

Use in switch disconnectors 

When using SITOR semiconductor fuses in 3KL and 3KM switch 

disconnectors with fuses and 3NP fuse switch disconnectors, 

the rated current of the fuse must sometimes be reduced due to 

the higher power loss compared to LV HRC fuses for line protec￾tion. Sometimes when using SITOR semiconductor fuses in 

switch disconnectors, the currents designated can be higher 

than the rated currents of the switches. These higher currents 

only apply when using SITOR switch disconnectors with semi￾conductor fuses and cannot be used when using switch discon￾nectors with standard LV HRC fuses. You will find further details 

in the following selection table.

When using SITOR semiconductor fuses of the 3NC2 4, 3NC8 4, 

3NE3 3 and 3NE4 3 series, the standard switching capacity of 

the fuse must not be used as the blades of these fuses (in con￾trast to LV HRC fuses) are slotted. Occasional switching of cur￾rents up to the rated current of the fuses is permissible.

Due to the mechanical strain on the comparatively long fuse 

blade, SITOR semiconductor fuses of the 3NE4 1 series may 

only be occasionally switched, and only without load. If only 

switching without load is permissible, this must be clearly stated 

on the switch itself.

The use of SITOR semiconductor fuses > 63 A for overload 

protection is not permitted – even if gR fuses are used 

(exception: 3NE1).

The operational voltage is limited by the rated voltage of the 

switch disconnector or the fuse. If switching without load, the 

limit value is the rated insulation voltage of the switch disconnec￾tor.

The 3NE1 "double protection fuses" can be used as full range 

fuses (gS) for semiconductor and line protection.

For further information on the assignment of SITOR fuses to the 

fuse bases and safety switching devices, please refer to the 

tables on pages 80 ff.

SITOR Semiconductor Fuses

Cylindrical fuse design, 3NC1, 3NC2

122 Siemens · 2012

■ Overview

SITOR cylindrical fuses protect power semiconductors from the 

effects of short circuits because the super quick disconnect 

characteristic is far quicker than that of conventional fuses. They 

protect expensive devices and system components such as 

semiconductor contactors, electronic relays (solid state), con￾verters with fuses in the input and in the DC link, UPS systems 

and soft starters for motors up to 100 A.

The cylindrical design is approved for industrial applications. 

The cylindrical fuse links comply with IEC 60269.

Cylindrical fuse holders also comply with IEC 60269 and 

UL 512. The cylindrical fuse holders for 10 x 38 mm and 

14 x 51 mm have been tested and approved as fuse switch 

disconnectors and the cylindrical fuse holders for 22 x 58 mm as 

fuse disconnectors according to the switching device standard 

IEC 60947-3. The utilization category and the tested current and 

voltage values are specified in the Table "Technical Specifica￾tions".

The cylindrical fuse holders have been specially developed for 

the application of SITOR fuse links with regard to heat tolerance 

and heat dissipation and are therefore not recommended for 

standard applications.

Cylindrical fuse bases do not offer the same comprehensive 

touch protection as the fuse holders, but have better heat dissi￾pation. The single-pole cylindrical fuse bases for 14 x 51 mm 

and 22 x 58 mm allow modular expansion to multipole bases.

133 Siemens · 2012

■ Overview

SILIZED is the brand name of the NEOZED fuses (D0 fuses) and 

the DIAZED fuses (D fuses) with super quick characteristic for 

semiconductor protection. The fuses are used in combination 

with fuse bases, fuse screw caps and accessory parts of the 

standard fuse system.

SILIZED fuses protect power semiconductors from the effects of 

short circuits because the super quick disconnect characteristic 

is far quicker than that of conventional fuses. They protect ex￾pensive devices and system components, such as semiconduc￾tor contactors, static relays, converters with fuses in the input 

and in the DC link, UPS systems and soft starters for motors up 

to 100 A.

When using fuse bases and fuse screw caps made of molded 

plastic, always heed the maximum permissible power loss 

values due to the high power loss (power dissipation) of the 

SILIZED fuses. When using these components, the following 

maximum permissible power loss applies: 

• NEOZED D02: 5.5 W

• DIAZED DII: 4.5 W

• DIAZED DIII: 7.0 W

For this reason, sometimes a thermal permanent load of only 

50 % is possible.

The DIAZED screw adapter DII for 25 A is used for the 30 A fuse 

link.

Configuration

137 Siemens · 2012

■ Overview 

Parameters

The fuse links are selected according to rated voltage, rated cur￾rent, breaking I2t value I2ta and varying load factor, taking into 

consideration other specified conditions. All of the following 

data refer, unless otherwise specified, to the use of alternating 

current from 45 Hz to 62 Hz.

Rated voltage Un 

The rated voltage of a SITOR fuse link is the voltage specified as 

the r.m.s. value of the AC voltage on the fuse link and in the order 

and configuration data and the characteristics.

Always ensure that the rated voltage of the fuse link you select is 

such that the fuse link will reliably quench the voltage driving the 

short-circuit current. The driving voltage must not exceed the 

value Un + 10 %. Please note that the supply voltage Uv0 of a 

power converter can also be increased by 10 %. If, in the 

shorted circuit, two arms of a converter connection are con￾nected in series, and if the short-circuit current is sufficiently 

high, it can be assumed that voltage sharing is uniform. It is es￾sential to observe the instructions in "Series connection of fuse 

links" on page 144.

Rectifier operation

With converter equipment that can only be used for rectifier 

operation, the supply voltage Uv0 is the driving voltage.

Inverter operation

With converter equipment that can also be used for inverter 

operation, shoot-throughs may occur as faults. In this case, the 

driving voltage UWK in the shorted circuit is the sum of the infeed 

direct voltage (e.g. the e.m.f. of the DC generator) and the 

AC-line supply voltage. When rating a fuse link, this sum can be 

replaced by an AC voltage whose r.m.s. value is 1.8 times that of 

the AC-line supply voltage (UWK = 1.8 Uv0). The fuse links must 

be rated so that they reliably quench the voltage UWK.

Rated current In, load rating 

The rated current of a SITOR fuse link is the current specified in 

the selection and ordering data, in the characteristic curves and 

on the fuse link current as the r.m.s. value of an alternating cur￾rent for the frequency range 45 Hz and 62 Hz.

When operating fuse links with rated current, the following are 

considered normal operating conditions:

• Natural air cooling with an ambient temperature of +45 °C

• Conductor cross-sections equal test cross-sections (see Test 

cross-sections table), for operation in LV HRC fuse bases and 

switch-disconnectors, please refer to the Selection and order￾ing data

• Conduction angle of a half-period 120°el

• Continuous load maximum with rated current.

For operating conditions that deviate from the above, the per￾missible load current In’ of the SITOR fuse link can be deter￾mined using the following formula:

In’ = ku × kq × kλ × kl

 × WL × In

Correction factor for ambient temperature ku 

The influence of the ambient temperature on the permissible 

load of the SITOR fuse links is taken into account using the 

correction factor ku as shown in the following graph.

Correction factor for conductor cross-section kq 

The rated current of the SITOR fuse links applies to operation 

with conductor cross-sections that correspond to the respective 

test cross-section (see the table on page 137).

In the case of reduced conductor cross-sections, the correction 

factor kq, must be used as shown in the following graph.

a = Reduction of cross-section of one connection

b = Reduction of cross-section of both connections

Correction factor for conduction angle kλ 

The rated current of the SITOR fuse links is based on a sinusoi￾dal alternating current (45 Hz and 62 Hz). However, in converter 

operation, the arm fuses are loaded with an intermittent current, 

whereby the conduction angle is generally 180°el or 120°el. With 

this load current wave form, the fuse link can still carry the full 

rated current. In the case of smaller conduction angles, the cur￾rent must be reduced in accordance with the following graph.

Correction factor for forced-air cooling kl

 

In the case of increased air cooling, the current carrying 

capacity of the fuse link increases with the air speed, air speeds 

> 5 m/s do not effect any significant further increase of current 

carrying capacity.

Varying load factor WL

The varying load factor WL is a reduction factor by which the 

non-aging current carrying capacity of the fuse links can be de￾termined for any load cycles. Due to their design, the SITOR fuse 

links have different varying load factors. In the characteristic 

curves of the fuse links, the respective varying load factor WL for 

>10000 load changes (1 hour "ON", 1 hour "OFF") is specified for 

the expected operating time of the fuse links. In the event of a 

lower number of load changes during the expected operating 

time, it may be possible to use a fuse link with a smaller varying 

load factor WL as shown in the following graph.

In the case of uniform loads (no load cycles and no shutdowns), 

the varying load factor can be taken as WL = 1. For load cycles 

and shutdowns that last longer than 5 min. and are more fre￾quent than once a week, you need to select the varying load 

factor WL specified in the characteristic curves of the individual 

fuse links.

Waveform of the varying load factor WL for load cycles

Fuse currents for operation in power converter

The r.m.s. value of the fuse current can be calculated for the

I2t values

In the event of a short circuit, the current of the fuse link in￾creases during melting time ts up to let-through current Ic

(melting current peak).

During the arc quenching time tL, the electric arc develops and 

the short-circuit current is quenched (see the following graph). 

Current path when switching fuse links

The integral of the current squared over the entire 

operating time (ts+tL), known as the breaking I2t value, deter￾mines the heat to be fed to the semiconductor device that is to 

be protected during the breaking procedure.

In order to ensure sufficient protection, the breaking I2t value of 

the fuse link must be smaller than the I2t value of the semicon￾ductor device. As the temperature increases, i.e. preloading in￾creases, the breaking I2t value of the fuse link decreases almost 

in the same way as the I

 2t value of a semiconductor device, so 

that it is enough to compare the I2t values in a non-loaded (cold) 

state.

The breaking I2t value (I2ta) is the sum of the melting I2t value 

(I2ts) and the quenching I2t value (I2tL).

(semiconductor, tvj = 25 °C, 

tp = 10 ms) > (fuse link)

Melting I 2t value I 2ts

The melting value I

 2t can be calculated for the value pairs of the 

time/current characteristic curve of the fuse link for any periods.

As the melting time decreases, the melting value I

 2t tends to￾wards a lower limit value at which almost no heat is dissipated 

from the bottleneck of the fuse element to the environment dur￾ing the melting process. The melting I

 2t values specified in the 

selection and ordering data and in the characteristic curves cor￾respond to the melting time tvs= 1 ms.

Quenching I2t value I2tL

While the melting I2t value is a characteristic of the fuse link, the 

quenching I2t value depends on circuit data, such as

• The recovery voltage Uw

• The power factor p.f. of the shorted circuit

• The prospective current Ip (current at the installation site of the 

fuse link if this is bridged)

The maximum quenching I

 2t value is reached at a current of 

10 x In to 30 x In depending on the fuse type.

Breaking I2t value I2ta, correction factor kA

The breaking I2t values of the fuse link are specified in the char￾acteristic curves for the rated voltage Un. In order to determine 

the breaking I2t value for recovery voltage Uw the correction 

factor kA must be taken into account.

I2ta (at Uw) = I2ta (at Un) × kA

The characteristics "correction factor kA" (see the following 

graph) is specified in the characteristic curves for the individual 

fuse range. The thus determined breaking I2t values apply to 

prospective currents Ip ≥ 10 × In and p.f. = 0.35.

Taking into account the recovery voltage Uw

The recovery voltage Uw is derived from the voltage driving the 

short-circuit current. For most faults, the driving voltage is equal 

to the supply voltage Uv0, however, for shoot-throughs it is 

1.8 times the value for the supply voltage Uv0 (see rated voltage, 

page 137). If the shorted circuit contains two arms of a converter 

connection and thus two fuse links in series, and if the short￾circuit current is sufficiently high (see series connection, 

page 144) it can be assumed that there is a uniform voltage 

sharing, i.e. Uw = 0.5 × Uv0 or, in the case of shoot-throughs 

Uw = 0.9 × Uv0.

Influence of the power factor p.f.

The specifications in the characteristic curves for the breaking 

I2t values (I2ta) refer to p.f. = 0.35 (exception: for 3NC5 8.., 

3NE6 4.., 3NE9 4.. SITOR fuse links the following applies: 

p.f. = 0.2).

The dependence of the breaking I2t values on the power factor 

p.f. at 1.0 × Un and at 0.5 × Un is shown in the following graphic.

Time/current characteristics 

The solid time/current characteristic curves in the following 

graph specify the time to melting for the non-loaded fuse link in 

a cold state (max. +45 °C).

35 A: Operational class gR 

160 A: Operational class aR

If the time/current characteristic curve in the long-time range 

(tvs > 30 s) is dashed (fuse links of aR operational class), this 

specifies the limit of the permissible overload in a cold state. If 

the dotted part of the characteristic curve is exceeded, there is 

a risk of damage to the ceramic body of the fuse link. The fuse 

links can only be used for short-circuit protection. In this case, 

an additional protective device (overload relay, circuit breaker) 

is required to protect against overload. In the case of controlled 

converter equipment, the current limiter is sufficient.

If the time/current characteristic curve is shown as a solid line 

over the entire setting range (fuse links of operational class gR 

or gS), the fuse link can operate in this range. This means it can 

be used both for overload and short-circuit protection.

Actual melting time

The virtual melting time tvs is specified in the time/current char￾acteristic curve, depending on the prospective current. It is a 

value that applies to the current squared (di/dt) = ∞).

In the case of melting times tvs < 20 ms the virtual melting time 

tvs deviates from the actual melting time ts. The actual melting 

time may be several milliseconds longer (depending on the rate 

of current rise).

Within a range of several milliseconds, during which the rise of 

the short-circuit current can be assumed to be linear, the actual 

melting time for a sinusoidal current rise and 50 Hz is as follows:

Taking into account preloading, residual value factor RW 

Preloading the fuse link shortens the permissible overload dura￾tion and the melting time.

The residual value factor RW can be used to determine the time 

that a fuse link can be operated during a periodic or non-peri￾odic load cycle, above and beyond the previously determined 

permissible load current In, with any overload current ILa without 

aging. 

The residual value factor RW is dependent on the preloading V (Ieff r.m.s. value of the fuse current during the load cycle at 

permissible load current In')

and the frequency of the overloads (see the following graph, 

curves a and b).

Permissible overload and melting time for previous load

a = frequent surge/load cycle currents (>1/week) 

b = infrequent surge/load cycle currents (<1/week) 

c = melting time for preloading

Permissible overload duration = 

residual value factor RW × melting time tvs (time/current characteristic 

curve)

A reduction of the melting time of a fuse link in the case of preloading can 

be derived from curve c.

Let-through current Ic

The let-through current Ic can be determined from the current 

limiting characteristics (current limitation at 50 Hz) specified for 

the respective fuse link. This depends on the prospective current 

and the DC component when the short circuit occurs (instant of 

closing).

The following graph shows the let-through current Ic of a fuse 

link, depending on the prospective short-circuit current Ip using 

the 3NE4 333-0B SITOR fuse link as an example.

Example: 

3NE4 333-0B SITOR fuse link

Rated breaking capacity

The rated breaking capacity of all SITOR fuse links is at least 

50 kA, unless higher values are specified in the characteristic 

curves. 

The data apply to a test voltage of 1.1 × Un, 45 Hz to 62 Hz and 

0.1 ≤ p.f. ≤ 0.2. In the case of inception voltages that are below 

the rated voltage as well as rated currents of the fuse links that 

are below the maximum rated current of a fuse range, the break￾ing capacity is considerably higher than the rated breaking 

capacity.

Peak arc voltage Ûs

During the quenching process, a peak arc voltage Ûs occurs at 

the connections of the fuse link, which can significantly exceed 

the supply voltage. The level of the peak arc voltage depends on 

the design of the fuse link and the level of the recovery voltage. 

It is presented in characteristic curves as a function of the 

recovery voltage Uw (see the following graph).

Example: 

3NE4 333-0B SITOR fuse link

The peak arc voltage occurs as a cutoff voltage at the semicon￾ductor devices not in the shorted circuit. In order to prevent 

voltage-related hazards, the peak arc voltage must not exceed 

the peak cutoff voltage of the semiconductor devices. 

Power dissipation, temperature rise

On reaching the rated current, the fuse elements of the SITOR 

fuse links have a considerably higher temperature than the fuse 

elements of line protection fuse links. 

The power dissipation specified in the characteristic curve is the 

upper variance coefficient if the fuse link is loaded with the rated 

current. 

In the case of partial loads, this power dissipation decreases as 

shown in the following graph

The temperature rise specified in the characteristic curve 

applies to the respective reference point and is determined 

when testing the fuse link (test setup according to 

DIN VDE 0636, Part 23 and IEC 269-4).

Parallel and series connection of fuse links

Parallel connection

If an arm of a converter connection has several semiconductor 

devices so that the fuse links are connected in parallel, only the 

fuse link connected in series to the faulty semiconductor device 

is tripped in the event of an internal short circuit. It must quench 

the full supply voltage.

To boost the voltage, two or more parallel fuse links can be as￾signed to a single semiconductor device without reducing the 

current. The resulting breaking I2t value increases with the 

square of the number of parallel connections. In this case, in or￾der to prevent incorrect distribution of the current, you should 

only use fuse links of the same type.

Series connection

There are two kinds of series connection available:

• Series connection in the converter arm

• Two fused converter arms through which a short-circuit 

current flows in series

In both cases, uniform voltage sharing can only be assumed if 

the melting time of the SITOR fuse link does not exceed the value 

specified in the following table. 

Cooling conditions for series-connected fuse links should be ap￾proximately the same. If faults are expected, during which the 

specified melting times are exceeded (as a result of a slower 

current rise), it can no longer be assumed that voltage sharing is 

uniform. The voltage of the fuse links must then be rated so that 

a single fuse link can quench the full supply voltage.

It is best to avoid the series connection of fuse links in a con￾verter connection arm and instead use a single fuse link with a 

suitably high rated voltage.

Use with direct current

For fuse links that are to be used in DC circuits, some data may 

vary from the data specified in the characteristic curves for alter￾nating current. 

Permissible direct voltage

The permissible direct voltage Uperm of the fuse links depends 

on the rated voltage Un, of the time constants τ=L/R in the 

DC circuit and on the prospective current Ip. The permissible 

direct voltage refers to the rated voltage Un and is specified 

depending on the time constants τ, the prospective current is a 

parameter (see the following graphs).

Applies to all series except 3NE1 0.., 3NE1 8..

Applies to all series except 3NE1 0.., 3NE1 8..

Breaking I2t value I2ta

The breaking I2t value I2ta depends on the voltage, on the time 

constants τ=L/R and on the prospective current Ip. It is calcu￾lated from the I2ta value specified in the characteristic curve for 

the respective fuse link at rated voltage Un and correction factor 

kA whereby, instead of the recovery voltage Uw, the direct volt￾age is used against which the fuse link is to switch. 

The breaking I2t value determined in this way applies under the 

following conditions: 

• Time constant L/R ≤ 25 ms for Ip ≥ 20 × In

• Time constant L/R ≤ 10 ms for Ip = 10 × In

• The breaking I2t values increase by 20 % 

• For Ip ≥ 20 × In and time constants L/R = 60 ms

• For Ip = 10 × In and time constants L/R = 35 ms

Peak arc voltage Ûs

The peak arc voltage Ûsis determined from the curve specified 

in the characteristics for the respective fuse link, whereby 

instead of the recovery voltage Uw, the direct voltage is used 

against which the fuse link is to switch. 

The peak arc voltage determined in this way applies under the 

following conditions: 

• Time constants L/R ≤ 20 ms for Ip ≥ 20 In

• Time constants L/R ≤ 35 ms for Ip = 10 In.

The switching voltages increase by 20 % 

• For Ip ≥ 20 In and time constants L/R = 45 ms

• For Ip = 10 In and time constants L/R = 60 ms.

Indicator

An indicator shows the switching of the fuse link. The SITOR fuse 

links have an indicator whose operational voltage lies between 

20 V (Un ≤ 1000 V) and 40 V (Un > 1000 V).

Accessories

Fuse bases, fuse pullers

Some of the SITOR fuse links can be inserted in matching fuse 

bases. The matching fuse bases (single-pole and three-pole) 

and the respective fuse pullers are listed in the technical speci￾fications, from page 82.

Note

Even if the values of the rated voltage and/or current of the fuse 

bases are lower than that of the allocated fuse link, the values of 

the fuse link apply. 

Fuse switch disconnectors, switch disconnectors with fuses

Some series of SITOR fuse links are suitable for operation in 

3NP4 and 3NP5 fuse switch disconnectors or in 3KL and 3KM 

switch disconnectors with fuses (see catalogs LV 10 and LV 30). 

When using switch disconnectors, the following points must be 

observed: 

• Because, compared to LV HRC fuses, the power dissipation of 

the SITOR fuse links is higher, the permissible load current of 

the fuse links sometimes needs to be reduced, see below 

(Configuration manual)

• Fuse links with rated currents In > 63 A must not be used for 

overload protection even when they have gR operational 

class. 

Note:

By contrast, all fuse links of the 3NE1 ... series with rated cur￾rents In from 16 A to 850 A and operational classes gR and gS 

can be used for overload protection. 

• The rated voltage and rated isolation voltage of the switch dis￾connectors must at least correspond to the available voltage.

• When using fuse links of the 3NE3 2.., 3NE3 3.., 3NE4 3.., 

3NC2 4.. and 3NC8 4.. series the switching capacity of the 

fuse switch disconnectors must not be fully utilized due to the 

slotted blade. Occasional switching of currents up to the rated 

current of the fuse link is permissible

• When used in fuse switch disconnectors, fuse links of the 

3NE4 1.. series may only be occasionally switched, and only 

without load, as this places the fuse blade under great me￾chanical stress.

In the technical specifications, starting on page 82, the switch 

disconnectors are allocated to their respective individual fuse 

links.

Specifying the rated current In for non-aging operation with 

varying load 

Power converters are often operated not with a continuous load, 

but with varying loads, that can also temporarily exceed the rated 

current of the power converter. 

The selection process for non-aging operation of SITOR fuse 

links for four typical types of load is as follows:1)

• Continuous load 

• Unknown varying load, but with known maximum current 

• Varying load with known load cycle 

• Occasional surge load from preloading with unknown surge 

outcome

The diagrams for the correction factors ku, kq, kλ , kl

, page 138, 

and the residual value factor RW, page 142, must be observed. 

The varying load factor WL for the fuse links is specified on 

page 139. 

Specifying the required rated current In of the fuse link is carried 

out in two steps: 

1. Specifying the rated current In on the basis of the r.m.s. value 

Ieff of the load current: 

Permissible load current I In’ = ku × kq × kl × kl × WLn×

' of the selected fuse link: 

In

2. Checking the permissible overload duration of current blocks 

exceeding the permissible fuse load current In’. 

Melting time tvs (time/current characteristic curve) × residual 

value factor RW ≥ overload duration tk

To do this, you require the previous load ratio 

as well as the characteristic curve "permissible overload and 

melting time for previous load" (page 142, curve a) and the 

"time/current characteristic curve" for the selected fuse link. 

If a determined overload duration is less than the respective re￾quired overload duration, then you need to select a fuse link with 

a greater rated current In (taking into account the rated voltage 

Un and the permissible breaking I

 2t value) and repeat the check.

Photovoltaic Fuses

PV cylindrical fuses, 3NW7 0, 3NW6 0

149 Siemens · 2012

■ Overview 

• Special requirements are placed on fuses for application in 

photovoltaic systems. These fuses have a high DC rated volt￾age and a disconnect characteristic specially designed to 

protect PV modules and their connecting cables (the newly 

defined operational class gPV). Moreover, highly variable load 

currents and a broad temperature range play an important 

role. The requirements were incorporated into an international 

standard only in recent years, now published as IEC 60269-6. 

All Siemens PV fuses comply with this new standard.

• The cylindrical fuses of size 10 x 38 are used in order to pro￾tect strings.

• The LV HRC fuse systems of size 1 to 3L are used in order to 

protect groups (PV sub-arrays) or as cumulative fuses before 

the inverter. For the fuses of size 1 the standard 3NH fuse 

bases are available. For the fuses of size 1L, 2L and 3L we 

have developed a special 3NH7..-4 fuse base with a swiveling 

mechanism which offers comprehensive touch protection. 

Here, it is possible to change fuses in safety and without a fuse 

handle.

• The cylindrical fuse holders can be supplied in single-pole 

and two-pole versions with and without signal detectors. In the 

case of devices with signal detector, a small electronic device 

with LED is located behind an inspection window in the plug￾in module. If the inserted fuse link is tripped, this is indicated 

by the LED flashing.

• The fuse holders, size 10 mm × 38 mm, have a sliding catch 

that enables the removal of individual devices from the assem￾bly. The infeed can be from the top or the bottom. Because the 

cylindrical fuse holders are fitted with the same anti-slip termi￾nals at the top and the bottom, the devices can also be bus￾mounted at the top or the bottom.

• The cylindrical fuse holders and the 3NH7..-4 fuse bases com￾ply with IEC 60269-2 and are regarded as fuse disconnectors 

in the sense of the switching device standard IEC 60947. 

Under no circumstances are they suitable for switching loads.

• The correct selection and dimensioning of these fuses must 

take account of the specific operating conditions as well as 

the data of the PV modules when calculating the voltage and 

the current.

■Benefits

• Protection of the modules and their connecting cables in the 

event of reverse currents

• Safe tripping in case of fault currents reduces the risk of fire 

due to DC electric arcs

• Safe separation when the fuse holder / fuse base is open

■ More information

Selecting and dimensioning photovoltaic fuses from 

Siemens

Standards:

The contents of the new standard IEC 60269-6 are currently 

being drawn up.

We follow this new standard when rating and labeling our 

PV fuses. Until now, some of our rivals have been relying on 

products based on the standard IEC 60269-4 "Fuses for semi￾conductor protection". Differences between the two standards 

are particularly evident for the rated voltage and the test voltage 

and in the definition of the operational class.

Terms: 

UOC STC (also known as VOC STC)

1)

Voltage under standard test conditions on an unloaded string 

taking into account minimum ambient temperature (no-load volt￾age). The voltage UOC STC of a string is obtained by multiplying 

the single voltages UOC STC of a PV module (UOC STC x M2)).

ISC STC

Short-circuit current of a PV module, a PV string, a PV sub￾generator or a PV generator under standard test conditions

I MPP

is the largest possible working current of a string 

(MPP = Maximum Power Point).

Ip max

Is the maximum occurring load current; this is usually equivalent 

to IMPP. I SC MOD

Short-circuit current of a PV module under regional conditions.

Standard test conditions (STC)

Test conditions which are laid down in EN 60904-3 for 

PV cells and PV modules:

• Solar radiation 1000 W/m²

• Ambient temperature 25 °C

• Air distribution (AM) 1.5

Standard test conditions are normally specified by the manufac￾turer of the PV module in data sheets.

Operational class

We use draft standard IEC 60269-6 as a guide when naming the 

operational class gPV. Accordingly, the symbols are also on the 

fuse:

It is important that the fuse have a full-range characteristic which 

can cut off with certainty all possible fault currents, and espe￾cially also small fault currents3).

The test currents for PV fuses are defined in draft standard 

IEC 60269-6.

Inf = 1.13 x In

(test current at which the fuse must not trip 

for one hour).

If

 = 1.45 x In (test current at which the fuse must trip 

for one hour).

Please refer to the time/current characteristic curve diagram on 

page 151.

Rated switching capacity

Under draft standard IEC 60269-6 a rated switching capacity of 

at least 10 kA is required. While this is comparatively low 

compared to other fuses, it is more than adequate for handling 

the residual currents occurring in PV systems.

We have tested our PV fuses at 30 kA.

Dimensioning rules

PV fuses are to dimensioned according to special rules with 

regard to rated voltage, rated current and operational class 

(characteristic).

Dimensioning rule

The rated voltage4) of the fuse should be calibrated 20 % higher 

than the open-circuit voltage UOC STC of a string. Extreme oper￾ating conditions, e. g. temperatures down to -25 °C, are thus tak￾en into account.

Rated voltage

Our PV fuses have been tested according to draft standard 

IEC 60269-6 with the rated voltage, i.e. the test voltage is the 

same as the rated voltage.

Based on IEC 60269-4, some manufacturers have issued two 

voltage values for their fuses, e. g. 900 V (tested 1000 V).

Rated current

1. In order to prevent unwanted tripping of the PV fuse during 

normal operation and in case of a fault in a different string that is 

connected in parallel, the rated current of the PV fuse must be 

greater than the short-circuit current ISC of the respective 

module or string: In ≥ 1.4 ISC.

The value 1.4 was determined in draft standard IEC 60269-6 and 

should apply to the simple dimensioning of the fuse.

This value contains the following correction factors for the stan￾dard test conditions: 

A higher ambient temperature of 45 °C, a higher solar radiation 

of 1200 W/m² and the reduction due to the variable loading.

An additional reduction must be used when several fuse holders 

are bundled.

According to EN 60469-1, Table1, the following reduction factors 

must be applied:

Since the fuses are only operated with around 70 to 80 % of the 

load current, a further reduction is only necessary after around 

six auxiliary circuits (e. g. three two-pole devices), including also 

where the fuses only have maximum power dissipation of 3.4 W.

1) Voltage of the unloaded circuit under standard test conditions

2) M is the number of PV modules connected in series in a string.

3) Note:a difference in the overload current and the short-circuit current is not 

meaningful when protecting PV systems, because even for a short circuit, 

only small currents occur, which are not designated as short-circuit cur￾rents in terms of the standards of overcurrent protective devices. Therefore 

in the following we shall refer to fault currents.

4) Note: Unlike with mechanical switching devices, when two fuses (positive 

pole and negative pole) are used, you cannot count on a division of the 

voltage in the event of residual current tripping. Accordingly every fuse 

must be dimensioned with the full rated voltage.

Fuses with a lower rated current have a lower power dissipation, 

so that the reduction is considerably less The 10 A fuse fuse for 

example has a rated power dissipation of 1.5 W, with the result 

that no reduction is necessary here.

In the event of extreme solar radiation a further reduction of the 

rated current of the fuse may be necessary.

The short circuit current ISC MOD is dependent on regional cli￾matic circumstances. Under particular climatic circumstances 

and cloud arrangements, in particular high in the mountains, 

higher values for the solar radiation than the 1200 W/m² used 

above may by all means occur (above: simplified calculation).

In order to incorporate the peak values into the calculation, we 

recommend using the following correction factors.

The rated current of the fuse refers to an ambient temperature of 

25 °C.

Cut-off performance will change at higher temperatures. A fur￾ther reduction may be required for an ambient temperature high￾er than the ambient temperature used above (+45 °C).

2.To protect the modules and their connecting cables, the 

PV fuse should disconnect reliably and in time.

Residual currents can result from faulty modules, double ground 

faults or incorrect wiring. The PV modules are rated so that they 

can continuously withstand the residual current in the forward 

direction without any problems.

However, fault currents which flow through the string or the 

PV module in a reverse direction are particularly critical.

This fault current ISC REVERSE is calculated from the number of 

parallel connected strings n-1 multiplied by the short circuit 

current ISC MOD of a string or module.

I SC REVERSE = n-1 x I SC MOD

This I SC MOD is likewise dependent on the regional 

circumstances described above:

ISC MOD = 1.21) x ISC STC 

Only above n = 3 parallel strings are PV phase fuses meaningful 

at all.

In order to protect the PV module against reverse currents 

ISC REVERSE which have a value higher than the reverse current 

resistance of the PV module IMOD REVERSE, the "cut-off current" of 

the PV fuse must be of a smaller size than the permitted and 

tested reverse current resistance of the module.

You can dispense with PV fuses if the reverse current resistance 

of the PV modules is greater than the residual current:

IMOD REVERSE > ISC REVERSE

The manufacturers of the modules normally test their modules 

with a 1.35x reverse current, for two hours.

For protection, you therefore need a fuse that disconnects earlier 

under these conditions.

1) Climate zone-dependent correction factor 1.2 … 1.6 

(see the table on page 153).

2) Iz is the permitted capacity of the line/cable.

The PV fuses have a "disconnect current" (generally referred to 

as large test current If

), which causes the fuse to disconnect at 

1.45 x the rated current in less than one hour (at the latest).

In order to connect the tested reverse current resistance of the 

PV moduleIMOD REVERSE with the cut-off performance of the fuse, 

we recommend the use of a conversion rate of 0.9.

For the rated current of the PV fuse, In produces the following 

dimensioning rules: 

In ≤ 0.9 x I MOD REVERSE

This does not consider possible fault currents, if any, which are 

fed by the back-up batteries and/or the solar converters.

Protection of the factory-fitted connecting cables of the 

PV module should be mainly ensured by the manufacturer.

Connecting cables/wires of a string must be able to withstand 

n times the short-circuit ISC MOD. As with other cables and wires, 

the following simple relationship applies:

In ≤ Iz

2)

If several strings connected in parallel are grouped together, the 

aforementioned dimensioning rules also apply. The rated current 

of the PV fuse group should be at least 1.21) times greater than 

the total of the short-circuit currents of the group.
