Eaton eMobility Bussmann EVK series fuses

The Eaton eMobility Bussmann EVK series of fuses are designed for high-powered electric vehicles.

According to the company, the full line of fuses require up to 33% less space than traditional fuse solutions, offer weight reduction and provide short-circuit protection for conductors.

The high-voltage fuses meet the requirements for use in the latest high-powered electrified vehicles (EVs) with ratings up to 1000 VDC and 600 A.

The fuses are designed to manage and protect the charging systems of electric commercial, passenger and high-performance vehicles such as sports cars and large sport-utility vehicles. The fuses enable more advanced EV system architectures and support vehicle acceleration and range.

The series is designed with the future in mind as battery requirements increase and technologies, such as energy dense solid-state batteries, are introduced. The fuses are available in eight different frame sizes, ranging from 15 A for auxiliary components up to 600 A for battery protection when the full application current is flowing. The fuses are designed to distribute heat away from weak spots, a key benefit for any fuse rating and especially critical for high-power fuses.
