When the arc forms, the maximum power in the arc is
the rated voltage of the fuse times the rated
interrupt current.
Both E and I are important for a "safe" (non-explosive)
operation.

The voltage rating on a fuse, if I remember correctly, addresses the
ability of the voltage source to arc across the gap formed when the
fuse ruptures and the 700 V rating would be insufficient in an 840 V
circuit.

*Subject:* [PSES] Does 700 VDC voltage category enough for our 840 VDC
units ?
Hello Intelligent group,
The maximum DC bus voltage on our units is 840 VDC.
I found UL recognized DC 700 V category fuses and rated current
starting from 35 A to 315 A.
Could anyone suggest 700 VDC voltage category enough for our 840 VDC
units?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Bin
