Market Background
•Higher Voltage Output Combined with the Need for High Efficiency Power Supplies:
Due to the combined demand for higher output voltages and High efficiency Power Factor Correction (PFC)
Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) there is an increasing need for a higher DC voltage rated Fuse. Increase
in demand for high efficiency White Goods, HVAC equipment, ARC Welders and Fluorescent Lighting and many
more High Voltage applications has driven the need for our 477 Series (3AB) Fuse.
•Our insatiable quest for a bigger and better Audio Visual experience.
When a TV panel goes beyond 32 inches, the CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent) backlighting is driven directly from
the 400VDC. Another example of the demand for higher voltages and energy efficiency. The larger the panel the
more voltage required and energy consumed!!!

PFC for
higher power
efficiency
PFC output voltage at 380 to 400DC for a
input of 90 to 240 AC. Since the AC
could rated up to 264 V, the voltage rating
of the components on the PFC line are
rated at least 380Vdc or higher.

Design Notes:
Protection Application: For the SMPS, after the PFC
circuit, there is a 400VDC bus, due to impedance of the
PFC circuitry, when there is a abnormal condition at the
400VDC bus, there is a threat of thermal event for the
PFC circuit and the DC to DC circuitry.

Solution Description: As shown at the left, a 400V to
450V high breaking capacity DC fuse can be used for
short circuit and overload current conditions. LF provide
477 series for the protection. The 477 comes in a
5x20mm package.
