Overview

Mersen’s HP15M5R-B photovoltaic (PV) fuse is engineered for extreme reliability in 1500VDC PV systems. Rated at 5A with a 10x85mm midget size, this gPV fuse meets IEC 60269-6 and UL2579 standards for ground fault protection in off-grid and grid-tied PV arrays. Its low minimum breaking capacity (1.35xIn) ensures safe interruption under typical low fault currents, critical for PV string protection. The ferrule terminal design enables secure clip mounting, while bulk packaging (88 units) optimizes inventory for large-scale installations. Tested for 50kA interrupting rating (HP15G2½-4A) and 10kA (HP15G5), these fuses withstand continuous temperature and current cycling without degradation. Ideal for in-line PV module protection, the HP15M5R-B integrates seamlessly with Mersen’s HelioProtection® line, offering globally accepted compliance and enhanced system longevity. Compatible with standard fuse clips and designed for harsh environmental conditions.
