Fuse Disconnect Switches and Related Solutions: GRL’s Complete Guide Introduction

2025-10-31

In modern power distribution, safety and reliability are built on one key principle: effective circuit isolation. Fuse disconnect switches, knife switches, and isolators are essential devices that ensure circuits can be opened safely for maintenance while also providing reliable protection. GRL offers a complete range of solutions — from bar-type fused disconnectors to high-voltage knife switches and energy storage fuses — designed for industrial, renewable, and utility applications.

What is a Fuse Disconnect Switch?

A fuse disconnect switch combines two critical functions: it isolates the power source while also protecting the system from overcurrent. When paired with high-quality fuses, these switches ensure that circuits can be safely disconnected for inspection or repair without risking accidental energization. Unlike circuit breakers, which can automatically reset and regulate flow, disconnect switches provide clear, visible isolation and high breaking capacity in a robust, maintenance-friendly form.

GRL Fuse Disconnect Switch Product Lines

DNH18 Series – Bar-Type Fused Disconnect Switches

The DNH18 series is designed for 185 mm busbar systems, offering compact, vertical installation.

  • Current rating: 160A–630A

  • Voltage: up to 690V AC

  • Parallel operation: up to 2000A with solid links

  • Features: Hanging terminals (no drilling required), lockable safety design, IP20/IP30 protection, and optional electronic fuse monitor with RS-485 communication.
    This series is widely applied in PV combiner boxes, switchgear, and utility distribution panels, combining patented design with international certifications (CCC, TÜV, CE, CB).

DNH1T Series – High-Voltage Fuse Switch Disconnectors

The DNH1T Fuse Switch Disconnectors family is engineered for AC1800V renewable and utility applications, especially in wind and solar grid integration. Its knife-blade fuse structure supports safe isolation at high voltages, with reinforced insulation and thermal stability. It is ideal for projects that integrate storage, inverters, and high-voltage circuits where reliability is critical.

DNH51 Series – DC Knife Switch Disconnectors

For photovoltaic and DC systems, the DNH51 series offers compact and durable isolation.

  • Housing: V0 flame-retardant nylon

  • Temperature range: −35°C to +70°C

  • Mounting: DIN rail or screw fixation

  • Design: Coverless wiring for fast, safe installation; ergonomic handle for smooth operation.
    The DNH51 is used in PV combiner boxes, inverters, and low-voltage switchgear, offering robust performance even in harsh environments.

Knife Switch & Load-Isolation Switch Range (250A–1500A)

GRL’s knife switch series spans 250A to 1500A, providing visible-break load isolation.

  • Lower ratings (250A–630A) are available in both 3P and 4P versions,

  • Higher ratings (800A–1500A) in 3P versions.
    These switches are designed for industrial panels, motor isolation, and retrofit boards where straightforward, mechanical disconnection is required.

Energy Storage Fuse Links & Semiconductor Protection Fuses

GRL develops specialized fuses for battery systems, inverters, and semiconductor devices:

  • Energy Storage Fuses: Rated up to 3000A with breaking capacity of 250kA, compliant with IEEE and IEC standards.

  • Semiconductor Fuse Links: Fast-acting with low I²t for protecting sensitive electronics such as inverters and rectifiers.
    Both fuse types are TÜV certified and optimized for demanding renewable and industrial applications.

Busbar Systems & Supports

GRL also provides copper busbars, busbar supports, and 60 mm pitch modular systems, ensuring reliable current distribution in compact panel layouts. Adjustable supports allow compatibility with multiple MCCB frames, simplifying design and reducing installation costs.

Load Isolator Switches & Adapter Solutions

GRL’s load isolator switches integrate seamlessly with molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs). Adjustable adapters reduce the number of models required, making busbar systems simpler and more modular. These isolators support secure earthing and electrical interlocks, enhancing safety during maintenance while simplifying installation.
