Table 3-6 shows the different models of fuses that are acceptable replacement fuses in the PVI 25TL-208, PVI 50TL-
480, and PVI 60TL-480 inverters wire box fuse holders. UL listed, 1000VDC, 15A or 20A, 10x38mm cylindrical, PV
fuses from the following manufacturers are recommended as replacement fuses when necessary: Mersen,
Bussmann, or Sinofuse. For fuse values of greater than 20A (25A or 30A), the 1000VDC Mersen HP10Mxx PV fuse
series are required.
The touch safe fuse holders and wirebox internal factory wiring are designed to accept 15A, 20A, 25A, or 30A rated
fuses. The larger rated fuses may be required for combined input strings; for example, when Y branch connectors
are used with DC field wiring to reduce PV source circuit home runs. Yaskawa Solectria Solar allows replacement of
the factory installed 20A fuses with appropriate ampere ratings, however Yaskawa Solectria Solar does not provide
nor stock these fuses.
When installing replacement 25A or 30A fuses, these fuses may not be installed in adjacent fuse holders. An
empty or unused fuse holder must be positioned between each 25A/30A fuse within each MPPT.
Use of fuses from other manufacturers or incorrectly sized fuses can cause either equipment damage or create
an unsafe working condition. Any damage resulting from use of incompatible fuses is not covered by the
Yaskawa Solectria warranty
String Length: The recommended fuse values are configured based on the condition that the input strings are
the same (module type and length).
Temperature Rating: The temperature rating of the fuse holder terminals is (90°C).
Due to improved ground-fault protection requirements in PV systems, the 2017 version of the NEC allows for a
single overcurrent protection device in either the positive or negative polarity. If local codes or jurisdictions
