DC fuse holder for overcurrent protection
The ATK-RT132 fuse holder is designed for circuits with fuses with a nominal DC voltage of up to 1,000 V and a nominal current of 16 A. They are used in series-parallel connection with photovoltaic panels and batteries. They provide short-circuit protection in charging converters and also protect photovoltaic power plants, combined inverter and rectifier systems from short-circuit.
The fuses enable fast protection against surge or short-circuit current in photovoltaic systems with a rated current withstand capacity of up to 33 kA. The product complies with the national standard GB/T13539.6 and the international standard IEC60269-6.
Fuse (overcurrent protection)
The fuse insert is made of a silver strip with a variable cross-section, which guarantees precise and reliable current interruption when the rated value is exceeded . This strip is housed in a fuse case made of high-strength material, resistant to mechanical stress and thermal influences.
The case is filled with chemically treated high-purity silica sand, which, in combination with special chemicals , effectively dampens the electric arc that occurs when the circuit is disconnected. The fuse ends are spot-welded and firmly connected to the contacts, which ensures long-term stability, low contact resistance and safe operation even under demanding conditions of photovoltaic installations.
Surge protection T1+T2
The ATK-SPDE40 surge protector is designed for direct-current photovoltaic systems with a rated operating voltage of 550 V DC. The device reliably protects PV panels, inverters and other components against impulse overvoltages caused by lightning discharges or switching peaks.
- Class T1 ensures resistance to direct or close lightning strikes with very high energy
- Class T2 protects the system against more frequent switching surges and remote discharges.
- In combination, they provide comprehensive and long-term protection for the entire PV system.
It features a high discharge capacity of up to 40 kA (8/20 μs), a short response time of 25 ns and a low protection level of only 1.8 kV. Thanks to a wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C, it is suitable for long-term and reliable operation even in demanding conditions.
Durable design for outdoor use, quick and economical installation
Thanks to its robust construction and IP65 protection class, the device is protected against dust, moisture and splashing water, which allows it to be used even in demanding outdoor conditions.
Thanks to its intuitive connection and clear internal layout, the device is suitable for both professional and home photovoltaic installations.

Single-pole DC box wiring diagram
The single-pole diagram shows the connection of one PV string via a fuse (overcurrent protection) and a surge protection device (SPD) to the inverter. The fuse protects the system against excessive current or short circuit, while the SPD discharges dangerous surges to ground. The result is a safe and reliable transfer of energy from the panels to the inverter.
