MERSEN FERRAZ HelioProtection Series HP10M Fuses, Photovoltaic
Mersen Ferraz HelioProtection Series HP10M fuses are designed to safeguard solar installations by providing overcurrent protection. Installed within combiner boxes or string inverters, they shield PV arrays from excessive currents caused by faults, overloads or short circuits. They prevent pote...ntial fire hazards and equipment damage by rapidly interrupting the circuit in case of an anomaly.Read more

HelioProtection Series HP10M Fuses, Photovoltaic
Mersen HelioProtection Series HP10M fuses are ideal in electrical systems for protection against overcurrent conditions and are used in PV string / array level protection, in-line PV module, inverters and battery charge controllers. They offer a minimum breaking capacity of 1.35 times the fuse's rated current value, ensuring a reliable operation in fault currents. These enhanced fuses are ideal for constant temperature and current cycles, ensuring the longevity of the fuse and its ability to withstand repeated temperature and current fluctuations.
Working Mechanism
When an electrical fault like a short circuit occurs, the fuse quickly detects abnormal current flow.
The fuse element, typically a thin metal strip, melts when faced with excessive current.
Installed in the circuit of a photovoltaic system, the fuse acts as a barrier to prevent excessive current flow for preventing equipment damage and hazards.
Features
Mersen Ferraz HelioProtection Series HP10M fuses offer a minimum breaking capacity of 1.35 times the fuse's rated current value, ensuring a reliable operation in fault currents.
These enhanced fuses are ideal for constant temperature and current cycles, ensuring the longevity of the fuse and its ability to withstand repeated temperature and current fluctuations.
They can be operated at voltages up to 1000VDC and are available in amperage ratings ranging from 1 to 30A and the higher current variant in the lineup is HP10M30 fuse having an amperage rating of 30A.
These HP10M fuses can be operated at temperatures up to 80 degrees C.
They offer ferrule mounting for easy installation into the PV system's circuit and secure electrical connections.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical response time of the HP10M fuse when an overcurrent event occurs?
HP10M fuse is designed to respond rapidly, often within milliseconds, to ensure swift interruption of the circuit during faults.
Are there any indicators on the HP10M fuse that show it has blown due to an overcurrent incident?
HP10M fuse typically doesn't have visible indicators, but the blown state can be determined by checking the fuse element for signs of melting.
