“We have tailored our fuses to be the ideal solution for electrified commercial vehicles, which require more power than passenger EVs,” said Kimberley Wakelin, engineering manager, EV protection, Eaton. “Electrified vehicles are powered by electric motors, which are cyclical and must perform in harsh environments. This means that the fuses must be able to handle these conditions and vehicle vibrations. Our innovative Bussmann series fuses solve this problem, addressing the difficulties and vibration levels.”
