Intelligent power management company Eaton today announced it is
now offering a portfolio of fuses for commercial electrified
vehicles (EVs). Eaton Bussmann series fuses can handle up to 1,400
amps and 900 volts and can be tailored to customer specifications.
Eaton can increase current capability by either design
modifications or paralleling multiple fuses. The fuses will be on
display in Eaton’s booth at the largest advanced commercial vehicle
technology show, ACT Expo, held May 20-23 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“We have adapted our fuses to be the ideal solution for
electrified commercial vehicles, which require greater power than
passenger EVs,” said Kimberley Wakelin, engineering manager,
protection EV, Eaton. “Electrified vehicles are propelled by
electric motors, which are cyclic and need to perform in harsh
environments. This means the fuses must be able to handle such
conditions and the vehicle's vibrations. Our innovative Bussmann
series fuses solve that challenge, keeping up with harshness and
vibration levels.”
Eaton has a unique position in the market, with more than 100
years of experience in the electrical and vehicle industries. Eaton
leveraged its strong grasp of vehicle systems and dynamics and its
expertise in electrical systems to develop fuses that can be
adapted to customer specifications in the growing electrified
commercial vehicle space.
Eaton’s vast global testing capabilities give it the ability to
conduct most tests in-house rather than having to outsource
testing. “We have the capability to do even the most difficult
testing, including environmental, thermal shock chamber and
vibration rig tests,” Wakelin said.
Eaton partners early in the vehicle development process with
global OEMs to develop custom fuse solutions for electrified
commercial vehicles. Once developed, Eaton simulates the system to
ensure its longevity.
As recently announced, Eaton is expanding manufacturing capacity
of its fuses with the opening of a new, state-of-the-art assembly
plant.
