Mersen HP10M3 gPV photovoltaic fuse rated at 3 A and 1000 V DC with ferrule terminals for clip mounting, designed for protecting photovoltaic strings and solar DC circuits.
£8.23
The Mersen HP10M3 is a compact, high-performance gPV photovoltaic fuse link designed specifically to protect modern solar photovoltaic systems against overloads, line faults and ground faults. As part of the trusted Mersen HelioProtection® HP10M series, it delivers dependable protection for photovoltaic strings, combiner boxes, inverter DC inputs and battery charging systems operating at up to 1000 V DC.
Rated at 3 A, the HP10M3 has been engineered for the unique electrical characteristics of PV installations, including the relatively low fault currents produced by solar arrays. Its enhanced fuse construction offers excellent resistance to continuous temperature and current cycling, helping maximise long-term system reliability.
Featuring ferrule terminals for clip mounting, the HP10M3 installs easily into compatible 10 × 38 mm photovoltaic fuse holders. It is suitable for both off-grid and grid-connected renewable energy systems requiring reliable full-range gPV protection.
Photovoltaic arrays continue producing electrical power whenever exposed to sunlight, making specialist DC overcurrent protection essential. The HP10M series has been specifically developed to interrupt the relatively low fault currents encountered in photovoltaic installations safely while protecting cables, combiner boxes, inverter inputs and associated equipment.
The HP10M3 is ideal for protecting low-current photovoltaic strings and other critical DC circuits in both residential and commercial renewable energy systems. Its enhanced fuse construction provides excellent durability under repeated thermal cycling and continuous outdoor operation.
