Why Choose the Lovato FE01D02 2 A gPV Cylindrical Fuse?
The Lovato FE01D02 is a 2 A 10 × 38 mm cylindrical fuse designed specifically for photovoltaic DC applications. Part of the Lovato FE range of PV fuses, it provides dedicated overcurrent and short-circuit protection for solar power circuits operating at voltages up to 1000 V DC.
Classified as an IEC gPV fuse, the FE01D02 is engineered for the particular protection requirements of photovoltaic systems. It has a rated current of 2 A and an IEC breaking capacity of 25 kA at 1000 V DC, allowing it to interrupt high prospective fault currents within correctly designed PV installations.
The standard 10 × 38 mm cylindrical format allows the FE01D02 to be installed in compatible photovoltaic fuse holders, including Lovato devices designed for 10 × 38 mm gPV fuses. With compliance to IEC/EN/BS 60269-6, it provides a purpose-designed circuit protection solution for solar generation and other compatible photovoltaic DC applications.

Purpose-Designed Protection for Photovoltaic DC Circuits
Photovoltaic arrays can continue to generate DC current whenever sufficient light is present, and fault-current characteristics differ from those found in conventional AC distribution systems. A gPV fuse is specifically designed to provide overcurrent protection for photovoltaic circuits and to interrupt DC fault currents within its specified ratings.
The Lovato FE01D02 combines a 2 A current rating, 1000 V DC voltage rating and 25 kA breaking capacity in the compact 10 × 38 mm format. When correctly selected and installed in a compatible PV fuse holder, it provides dedicated protection for low-current photovoltaic circuits and associated DC equipment.
Typical Applications
Photovoltaic string protection.
Solar PV DC circuits.
PV combiner boxes.
Solar distribution and protection panels.
Photovoltaic control cabinets.
Renewable-energy DC protection assemblies.
1000 V DC photovoltaic installations requiring a 2 A gPV fuse.
