Overview

The Mersen HP6J500 is a high-quality photovoltaic (PV) fuse, specifically engineered for DC Recombiner Boxes within 600VDC photovoltaic systems. This gPV rated fuse, with a 500A current rating and 600VDC voltage rating, is UL Listed to Standard UL2579 (File E333668) and CSA Component Certified (C22.2). Its enhanced construction ensures continuous temperature and current cycling withstand, contributing to system longevity. The HP6J500 is designed for low minimum breaking capacity (MBC) of 1.35 times the fuse rated current, enabling safe circuit interruption under typical low fault current conditions generated by PV arrays. This fuse offers a 10kA I.R. DC interrupting rating. It is ideal for protecting off-grid or grid-tied PV systems from unexpected ground faults and line faults. The HP6J series features a small footprint and UL Class J dimensions, making it a space-efficient solution. It is globally accepted and provides guaranteed operation at temperature extremes, making it a reliable choice for demanding PV applications. The HP6J500 is suitable for Re-combiner (sub-combiner, array combiner, master combiner) applications, Inverter DC input protection, and Battery charge controllers. Its durable construction enhances system longevity and it offers low fault current interrupting capability.
