FAQ

The heat generated in a DC fuse in a given time period is greater than that of an AC fuse with the same current rating due to the fact that the effective or equivalent value of AC is only 70.7% of DC. As a result, AC fuses are smaller in size than DC fuses.

The primary distinction between fuses and circuit breakers lies in their reusability. While circuit breakers can be used multiple times, fuses can only be employed once. Circuit breakers safeguard homes and equipment from overloading and short circuits, while fuses only protect devices and homes from overloading.

The DC fuse base of CHYT is equipped with an LED indicator light. Many people do not know what the indicator light is for. They think that the fuse is connected to the circuit and the indicator light will light up. This is an error. On the contrary, when the indicator light is on, it indicates that the fuse is broken and needs to be replaced.

CHYT solar fuse is a specific type of fuse designed for use in solar power systems. These fuses may also be referred to as PV fuses, solar PV fuses, or fusible PV fuses. Solar panel fuse sizes vary based on voltage, ratings, and amperage ratings.

When connecting solar panels in parallel, it is necessary to install a 30-amp fuse for each panel. However, if the panels are less than 50 watts and use 12 gauge wires, then 20 amp fuses must be used instead.
