Just as every other car, electrical vehicles contain electrical components which need to be protected from dangerous over-current and short circuits. On top of these lower-voltage components, EV's also have high voltage DC parts like high-capacity battery packs, power conversion devices and other auxiliary circuits. Being direct current, fuses for these applications must meet special requirements for a safe and reliable operation.

The same applies to EV fast charging stations which are able to deliver high DC currents. They are an important pillar of e-mobility and the appropriate protection is important for making them reliable and available.

To fit the needed electrical fuses into the automotive environment, ADLER decided to develop completely new fuse designs. Ordinary semiconductor fuses with ceramic bodies are simply not suitable for the high mechanical and thermal stress encountered inside a car. Our fuses are designed in compliance with automotive standards, for example ISO 8820-8 and JASO D622. Additionally, they are available with melamine laminated glass fiber bodies which are able to withstand mechanical shocks and vibrations to avoid long-term damages.

With a product portfolio ranging from 200 Vdc to 1000 Vdc, with different fuse sizes and terminal choices, we can offer the right fuse for your application – be it main or auxiliary circuits for electric vehicles, charging stations or DC converters.
