Description

The SPF Solar Protection Fuse series has been specifically 
designed for the protection of photovoltaic (PV) systems. 
This series of Midget style fuses (10 x 38 mm) can 
safely protect PV modules and conductors from reverse-
overcurrent conditions.
As PV systems have grown in size, so have the 
corresponding voltage requirements. This increase in 
system voltage has typically been intended to minimize 
power loss associated with long conductor runs. Standard 
circuit protection devices are not designed to completely 
protect photovoltaic panels. However, the SPF series is 
UL Listed to safely interrupt faulted circuits up to this 
demanding voltage level.

Features/Benefits

•  Meets UL, IEC and VDE photovoltaic standards

•  UL 2579 Listed 1000 Vdc maximum
•  1-30 A ratings available
•  20,000 A Interrupting Rating
•  Both PCB mount and dead-front holder options available

Applications

•  Inverters
•  Combiner boxes
•  Battery charge controllers

distribution block and associated conductors are no longer 
needed to feed multiple POWR-Safe fuse holders.

Features/Benefits

•  Touch-safe design offers protection when replacing fuses
•  Compact design
•  35mm DIN-rail mountable 
•  Available in one and three phase configurations 
•  Can be cut down to optimal size

POWR-BLOKS

600 V • Distribution Blocks • Splicer Blocks

Description 

POWR-BLOKS

TM

 power distribution blocks offer a safe, 

convenient way of splicing cables, providing a fixed junction 
tap-off point or splitting primary power into secondary circuits. 
Lx2xxx-DIN series offers integral DIN-Rail mount and an 
optional hinged safety cover.

Optional power distribution block covers provide protection 
against accidental shorting between poles caused by 
loose wires, tools, or other conductive material. They also 
protect personnel from accidentally contacting energized 
connectors. To order protective covers, match the number 
of poles for the block to the cover.

Applications

 

Solar string

 

Array combiner boxes

 

Inverters

Ampere Ratings

The ampere rating per pole for the power distribution blocks is  
based on the line ampacity of 75° C insulated conductors per  
NEC

®

 Table 310.16. If 60° C insulated conductors are used, 

load must not exceed the ampacity of 60° C conductors. 
Use of conductors rated in excess of 75° C is permitted 
(for example 90° C), however, load must not exceed the 
ampacity of 75° C conductors.

Connectors

Box lug connectors are designed for use with a single, 
solid or class B or C stranded conductor. Use of more 
than one con ductor per connector opening or use of 
extra-flexible, fine-stranded conductors, such as welding 
cable, voids the UL Listing and may cause overheating. 
Manufacturers of cable ter minations can furnish crimp-on 
sleeves for fine stranded conductors which permit these 
conductors to be used with box lugs.

TVS (TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SUPPRESSION) DIODES

What Are Voltage Transients?

Voltage transients are unwanted short duration surges of electrical 

energy. They may result from the sudden release of previously stored 

energy, and can come from internal and external sources. If the 

voltage magnitude of the transient is large enough, circuit component 

damage or malfunction of the circuit may result.
Transients can occur either repeatedly or as random impulses. 

Repeatable transients are frequently caused by the operation of other 

system components, such as motors, generators or the switching 

of reactive circuit components. Random transients, are often caused 

by lightning, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and other outdoor 

environment events.

TVS and Solar Inverter Protection

Integration of Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) components 

within solar system designs help to prevent the damaging effects 

of transient events and assure compliance to safety and reliability 

standards. Solar power inverters are vulnerable to transient voltage 

effects and its direct connection to other system components allows 

transient voltage transfer. For example:

• 

Lightning-induced transient events may pass through the solar  

array and outdoor cabling to the inverter.

• 

Transients originating from the outside utility power grid may pass 

through the main circuit panel and cabling to the inverter.

• 

Startup of motorized equipment enable vulnerabilities produced 

by repeat load changes.

• 

Electrostatic discharge events generated internal and external to  

the system may pass between the inverter and sensitive  

electronic control equipment.

It is important to build surge withstand ability in the inverter and at 

locations before damaging transients may reach sensitive equipment.

Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diodes

TVS Diodes are used to protect semiconductor components from high-voltage transients. Their p-n junctions have a larger cross-sectional area 

than those of a normal diode, allowing them to conduct large currents to ground without sustaining damage. Littelfuse supplies TVS Diodes with 

peak power ratings from 200 W to 30 kW, and reverse standoff voltages from 5 V to 530 V. For more information visit

Varistor Products

Varistors possess characteristics that divert transient currents away from sensitive components. Littelfuse offers two types: 

miniature surface mount Multi-Layer Varistors (MLVs) for small electronics applications and Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) for 

higher energy applications. For more information visit

Description

The SE-601 is a microprocessor-based ground-fault relay for 
ungrounded dc systems. It provides sensitive ground-fault 
protection without the problems associated with nuisance 
tripping. Ground-fault current is sensed using an SE-GRM 
Series Ground-Reference Module—a resistor network that 
limits ground-fault current to 25 mA. The SE-601 is used 
on ungrounded DC systems ranging from industrial 24 Vdc 
control circuits to 1000 Vdc solar and transportation systems.

EL731 SERIES

AC/DC Sensitive Earth-Leakage Relay

Description

The EL731 is a microprocessor-based AC/DC Sensitive 
Earth-Leakage Relay that offers complete coverage for all 
frequencies from 0-6,000 Hz. Two CTs are required for the 
entire frequency range, or one CT can be used for only low- 
or high-frequency detection. An RTD/PTC sensor input 
allows over-temperature protection. The EL731 offers 
metering capabilities, password-protected alarm and trip 
settings and optional network communications. It is used to 
add low-level ground-fault protection to variable-speed 
drives, and to DC currents.
