Why Choose the Mersen USGM1HEL UltraSafe™ Photovoltaic Fuse Holder?
The Mersen USGM1HEL is a compact and dependable single-pole photovoltaic fuse holder designed for high-voltage DC solar protection systems. Part of the advanced Mersen UltraSafe™ USGM series, it combines finger-safe fuse access with screwless spring-pressure wiring technology for faster, more reliable panel installation.
This fuse holder uses proven WAGO CAGE CLAMP® terminals, providing a secure, vibration-resistant and maintenance-free connection for solid or stranded copper conductors. The spring-pressure termination system can significantly reduce wiring time while maintaining consistent contact pressure through temperature cycling, vibration and long-term service.
Rated for up to 1000 V DC and 32 A, the USGM1HEL is specifically configured for compatible 10 × 38 mm photovoltaic midget fuse-links, including Mersen HP6M and HP10M fuses. Its narrow DIN rail-mounted housing and IP20 finger-safe design make it ideal for photovoltaic combiner boxes, inverter protection panels and high-voltage DC distribution equipment.

Safe and Efficient Photovoltaic Fuse Installation
Photovoltaic fuse holders provide a secure mounting and connection point for fuse-links protecting solar strings, combiner circuits and inverter inputs. A properly specified holder must withstand high DC voltage, repeated thermal cycling and the fault-current conditions associated with photovoltaic power systems.
The Mersen USGM1HEL combines UltraSafe finger protection with spring-pressure wiring technology to simplify installation and improve connection reliability. Its compact DIN rail format allows multiple holders to be installed efficiently within photovoltaic combiner boxes and DC control panels.
Typical Applications
- Photovoltaic string combiner boxes.
- Solar inverter DC input protection.
- Commercial rooftop PV installations.
- Utility-scale photovoltaic systems.
- High-voltage DC distribution panels.
- Renewable energy control cabinets.
