In circuit design, fuses are (and always have been) a necessity. As power throughput in circuits has increased over the years, the need for more robust fuses has increased as well. In this article, learn about new POWrFuse™ high-power fuses from Bourns, designed for use in modern applications like EV/HEVs, battery management systems, green energy, telecom systems, charging stations, and many more.
Overview
Bourns® POWrFuse™ High-Power Fuses are industrial fuse links designed to UL 248, IEC 60269 and ISO 8820 standards in order to withstand extreme ambient temperatures, high-cycling and lowlevel fault current conditions. POWrFuse™ High-Power Fuses are rated at extremely high interrupting currents, providing reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection, and are housed in various mounting configurations to accommodate customers’ design requirements. These products are targeted at applications including but not limited to EV/HEV, battery management systems, power supplies, DC-DC converters, telecom systems, photovoltaic power systems, industrial controllers and charging stations. Along with Bourns® overvoltage protection products such as SPDs, PTVS Diodes, High Energy MOVs and High Current GDTs, the complete circuit protection solution can be installed.
POWrFuse™ High-Power Fuses are classified into five categories, including Semiconductor Power Fuses, Photovoltaic (PV) Power Fuses, Industrial Power Fuses, Electrical Vehicle (EV) Power Fuses and Telecom Power Fuses.
