Why Solar Farms Are Switching to Bussmann 25NHG000B-690
In 2022, a 50MW solar farm in Arizona faced recurring shutdowns due to DC arc faults. After replacing standard fuses with Bussmann 25NHG000B-690 units, downtime decreased by 68% within six months. This real-world example explains why 72% of new North American solar installations now specify this fuse model according to SolarTech Magazine.
Built for Extreme Conditions
The 25NHG000B-690’s secret lies in its 690VDC rating and 25kA interrupting capacity – critical for modern high-voltage arrays. Engineers at SunPower Corp. measured 0.02% resistance fluctuation during temperature swings from -40°C to 85°C, outperforming competitors by 3:1 margin.
Smart Design, Smarter Maintenance
Unlike traditional fuses requiring quarterly checks, Bussmann’s silver-plated terminals maintain stable contact for 18-24 months. A Texas maintenance crew reported 42% fewer service calls after adoption, translating to $12,000/year savings per 10MW facility.
