2. The installer or qualified service personnel should select the required DC fuses during the installing procedure The rating selection of the DC protection fuses should be selected based on the amount of solar modules connected in the PV system The criterion of fuse selection can be calculated by a standard formula in order to help the installer or service personnel to select the correct rating of fuse The standard formula for DC Fuse Selection Nominal Voltage of fuse must be 600Vpc Rating and the fuse should be selected between 1 56 x Isc lt In Assume the maximum short circuit current Isc of the solar module used is 4 85A The rating of the selected fuse must have a nominal current greater than 1 25 times but less than 1 6 times the short circuit current as 1 56 x Isc lt Iu Calculated by Standard Formula A 4 85Ax 1 56 7 56A B Implemented the above result within 1 56 x Isc lt In C The calculation result will be 7 56A lt ly That means installer must to select a fuse rating that is greater than 7 56 A but must lesser than 9 70 A Refer to the products information provided from Littelfuse factory we are able to select KLKD008 8A 600Vpc DC as the protection fuse for the DC input side IMPORTANT The fuse calculation for the fuse selection is referring to the requirements information that had been indicated within the National Electrical Code NEC ANSI NFPA 70 To ensure trouble free fuse protection
