Low-voltage fuses - Part 6: Supplementary requirements for fuse-links for the protection of solar photovoltaic energy systems (IEC 60269-6:2010 + corrigendum Dec. 2010); German version EN 60269-6:2011
Niederspannungssicherungen - Teil 6: Zusätzliche Anforderungen an Sicherungseinsätze für den Schutz von solaren photovoltaischen Energieerzeugungssystemen (IEC 60269-6:2010 + Corrigendum Dez. 2010); Deutsche Fassung EN 60269-6:2011
Overview
These supplementary requirements apply to fuse-links for protecting PV strings and PV arrays in equipment for circuits of nominal voltages up to 1 500 V d.c. Their rated voltage may be up to 1 500 V d.c. The object of these supplementary requirements is to establish the characteristics of PV fuse-links in such a way that they can be replaced by other fuse-links having the same characteristics, provided that their dimensions are identical. The responsible Committee is Subcommittee UK 541.1 "Sicherungen und Schalter-Sicherungseinheiten" ("Fuses and fuse-combination units") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
