Compact fuses for SELV products provide fast protection against short-circuits

The UHS family of fuses from SCHURTER offers a breaking capacity of up to 2 kA, to enable galvanic isolation of low-voltage lithium-ion batteries in safety extra-low voltage (SELV) applications.

SCHURTER UHS fuses, which are available with current ratings up to 100 A, provide protection against short-circuits in products with a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) designation.

 

In SELV products, very high currents can flow in the event of a short-circuit. The common use of cheap, powerful lithium-ion battery cells has increased the need in PCBs to shut off high currents in a controlled manner.

 

The compact, surface-mount UHS family of fuses is dedicated to this function, providing a high and fast breaking capacity triggered in the event of a very high over-current. Use of the UHS fuse allows the large store of energy in lithium-ion battery cells to be galvanically isolated in a controlled manner.
