Bel Fuse has expanded its range of fuses for electric and hybrid vehicles with a complete line of 800 V offerings, complementing its 500 V and 1,000 V products.

The fuses come in a variety of formats and mounting options, and they are suitable for operating temperatures of -40 C to 100 C, with some featuring a range of up to 125 C.

Depending on their use, the fuses feature a wide range of current ratings, from 5 A to 800 A.
