I’m planning to use NH fuses in a disconnect holder to enable me to isolate the power at several points in my new off-grid system. I have 2.5kW PV generation per string feeding a Victron 250/60 MPPT controller to charge a 48V battery (2x 24V 200Ah Victron Lithium Smart connected in series). I have a…

A few remarks: NH disconnectors can be disconnected under load, but you’re supposed to wear full arc-protection equipment when you do so even for AC, so that’s even more necessary for DC where the arc stays longer. Look up the power draw of the fuses in their data sheets; my 250A NH1 fuses, for ex…

Interesting thanks for your reply. Assuming a fuse is required there is going to be some power dissipation in it regardless of whether I use a fuse link disconnector or a separate DC isolator switch. In the case of a switch, it’s impossible to know if any damage has occurred due to arcing inside th…

Thanks. I’m curious why Victron advise putting a fuse in the PV to Solar Charge Controller cabling.

Fire. Safety. Diode faliure… Industry standard. Read the solar panel datasheet. They all recommend fuse ratings for strings.

I am just working on a busbar with NH000-fuses. The bar will connect my batteries, my chargers and my inverters. The fuses will protect my Pylontech US5000 with 100A each. [grafik]

It is a surge arrester. For example something like that: [grafik]

I agree completely. The whole point of these safety devices is to stop your house catching fire (plus other benefits, but that for me is the main one). Chinese products are intentionally marked to make people think they’re tested for safety by copying the CE mark but making the space between the tw…

I do not find any certification about the shown Tomzn MCCBs but i find this video. It seem the MCCB is build in solid quality. Getting a CE-Certification will cause a much better feeling, but you have to spend a few hundred €uros to get it for example in combination with a Siemens MCCB. If you will…

NH fuse and holder compatibility

For my PV strings i use only a DC-switch in combination with an overvoltage-fuse.
Alternatively MCBs or MCCBs can be used.
