Overview

The Mersen HP15M12RCC is a 1500VDC photovoltaic (PV) fuse, part of the HelioProtection® line, designed for reliable protection of PV string wiring. This 10x85mm fuse operates at 12A and features a low minimum breaking capacity of 1.35 times its rated current, ensuring safe interruption of typical low fault currents found in PV arrays. Its GEN2 design has undergone stringent cycle testing for enhanced reliability, with durable construction contributing to system longevity and guaranteed operation at temperature extremes. The HP15M12RCC is UL Listed to Standard UL2579 and meets IEC 60269-6 standards, with CSA Component Pending approval. A key feature is the Crimp Cap terminal (CC option), which allows for solderless wire-to-fuse connection, ideal for overmold encapsulation in in-line PV module applications. The recommended crimping tool for the Crimp Cap terminal is the T & B Sta-Kon ERG4002 for #10 -12 AWG (6-4 mm²) wire. This fuse is suitable for all photovoltaic applications, including PV string/array level protection, combiner boxes, in-line PV module protection, inverters, and battery charge controllers. It offers a 50kA SCCR rating. Protect your off-grid or grid-tied PV system from unexpected line faults with this robust fuse. Proudly distributed by Gross Automation.
