Overview

The Mersen HP10J160 photovoltaic (PV) fuse, SKU HP10J160, is engineered for the critical protection of 1000VDC photovoltaic systems, specifically within DC Recombiner Boxes. This gPV fuse is UL listed and rated for 160 Amperes at 1000 Volts DC. Its robust construction is designed to withstand continuous temperature and current cycling, contributing to enhanced system longevity. The HP10J160 features low minimum breaking capacity capabilities, rated at 1.35 times the fuse's rated current value. This specification is crucial for ensuring safe and reliable circuit interruption under the typical low fault current conditions generated by photovoltaic arrays. Protect your off-grid or grid-tied PV system from unexpected ground faults and line faults with Mersen's HelioProtection® fuse line. The fuse is designed for use with clips or bolted connections, offering installation flexibility. Manufactured in the US, this fuse provides essential safety for solar installations.
