This brings us back to the same point as earlier meaning that the fuse would have to be above 37 32a to allow for normal usage but below 39 12a to protect from short which is not reasonable. A fuse between it and the battery will prevent a possible explosion of the battery and it will cut the circuit fast enough to prevent the wires from catching fire or getting dangerously hot.
On the other side of the combiner box. The unique and specific nature of this protection has resulted in the creation of a whole new category of fuse products known as photovoltaic pv fuses. Global availability ensures on site delivery at any part of the world. Pv fuses are rated at 1000vdc and comply to the utilisation category gpv.
Eaton s bussmann series photovoltaic gpv solar fuses are specifically designed to protect dc system up to 1500 v d c. They also protect your system components from more serious damage if there is a short circuit.
