The ZCASE® style fuse performs quickly and effectively, while also eliminating the false blows seen in legacy high-speed fuse designs.
CHICAGO, April 24, 2019 — Littelfuse, Inc., the global leader in circuit protection, introduced the Sealed M10 Battery Mount ZCASE® Fuse to the commercial vehicle product line. The new fuse is designed to mount directly to an ISO standard battery to provide short circuit protection to the highest current circuits powering electric vehicles. Its placement on the battery eliminates the need for any unfused, high-current wires off of the battery—even the battery terminal itself is protected from short circuits and accidental contact. In the event of an electrical fault, the ZCASE® style fuse performs quickly and effectively, while also eliminating the false blows seen in legacy high-speed fuse designs.
The Sealed M10 ZCASE® fuse is self-protected from battery acid fumes, as well as, protects the entire vehicle from high current short circuit faults. Geoff Schwartz, Business Development Manager, Commercial Vehicles, at Littelfuse, said “This product helps to minimize any additional wiring because it can mount directly to the battery, it is also rated for use in explosive atmospheres.”
