Mersen Y1008755 DC10HEL12C16 HelioProtection cylindrical photovoltaic fuse-link with a 16 A rating, 1200 V DC rating, 12 kA breaking capacity and gPV operating characteristic.
£16.43
The Mersen Y1008755 is a compact, high-performance cylindrical photovoltaic fuse-link designed specifically to protect solar PV strings and arrays against ground faults, line faults and reverse-current conditions. Part of the proven Mersen HelioProtection® DC10HEL series, it provides dependable full-range gPV protection for high-voltage photovoltaic installations.
Its enhanced internal construction is engineered to withstand the continuous current and temperature cycling commonly experienced in solar power systems. The fuse can safely interrupt fault currents from approximately 1.30 times its rated current, helping protect photovoltaic modules, cables, combiner equipment and inverter inputs under the low fault-current conditions typical of PV arrays.
With a rated current of 16 A, a voltage rating of 1200 V DC and a compact cylindrical body measuring approximately 10.3 × 84 mm, the Y1008755 is suitable for clip mounting in compatible photovoltaic fuse holders. Its 12 kA DC breaking capacity makes it an effective protection solution for grid-connected and off-grid solar installations.
Photovoltaic systems can generate sustained reverse currents and relatively low-level DC faults that conventional industrial fuse-links may not safely interrupt. A correctly selected gPV fuse isolates these abnormal currents before excessive heat or electrical energy damages photovoltaic modules, conductors, connectors or associated distribution equipment.
The Mersen DC10HEL series combines low fault-current interruption with durable construction and resistance to repeated thermal cycling. These characteristics make the Y1008755 suitable for photovoltaic installations where dependable protection, long service life and consistent electrical performance are essential.
