Eaton 160A Tag Fuse 217 x 82 x 94 mm 1000V, 205 mm

This tag fuse is a photovoltaic protective device designed to isolate and protect solar array combiners and disconnects in PV installations. It is intended for gPV applications where Rapid interruption of reverse and multi‑array fault currents is required, and it operates within high‑voltage DC solar environments.

• 1000V rated voltage provides high‑voltage DC protection
• 160A current rating handles substantial array currents
• Fast‑acting F‑class element interrupts low overcurrents quickly
• High rupture capacity limits damage during severe faults
• 2XL body size enables compatibility with 2XL fuse bases
• 205mm fixing centres simplify integration into combiner panels

• Suitable for protecting photovoltaic string combiners in commercial arrays
• Ideal for use in inverter DC input protection arrangements
• Used with compatible 2XL PV fuse holders and bases in distribution panels
• Can be used for isolating individual solar panel strings during maintenance

The link provides substantial breaking capacity for PV faults, with pre‑arcing I²t and total energy values sized to interrupt typical reverse and multi‑array fault currents at 1000V DC

It fits Eaton Bussmann 2XL‑compatible bases and can be paired with the specified SD extraction tools and microswitch assemblies for status indication and secure mounting.

The fast‑acting characteristic ensures Rapid clearing of low overcurrent conditions while the specified I²t values limit thermal stress on adjacent components.

A revised bolting pattern option exists that matches larger 3L mounting layouts, allowing substitution without altering inverter or combiner panel dimensions.
