Fuses > HP15P40 PV fuse series
Mersen HP15P40 Photovoltaic Fuse
Quick Overview
The Mersen’s HP15P40 HelioProtection 1500VDC photovoltaic (PV) fuse series is specifically engineered to meet the higher amperage demands of modern PV circuits. The 20x65mm form factor is built to withstand harsh cyclical loads and thermal conditions in high-amperage applications. With a low minimum breaking capacity of 1.35 times the fuse’s rated current, these fuses ensure safe circuit interruption under typical low fault current conditions. Available with standard ferrule terminals or Crimp Cap terminals for in-line applications, the Crimp Cap option allows for solderless wire-to-fuse connections, ideal for overmold encapsulation. Protect your off-grid or grid-tied PV systems from line faults with Mersen’s HelioProtection® fuse series.
Safeguard your off-grid or grid-tied PV systems from unexpected ground and line faults with Mersen’s HelioProtection fuse line.

Mersen HP15P40 Solar Fuses for Photovoltaic Protection
Solar fuses, also known as photovoltaic (PV) fuses, safeguard solar panels, inverters, and control boxes by protecting against overcurrent. These fuses interrupt low-fault currents, such as reverse currents and multiarray faults, preventing damage to PV systems. Mersen’s HP15P40 1500VDC PV fuse series is specifically designed to meet the high amperage demands of modern PV circuits. The 20x65mm form factor is engineered to handle the harsh cyclical loads and thermal conditions found in high-amperage applications. With a low minimum breaking capacity of 1.35 times the fuse’s rated current, these fuses ensure safe circuit interruption under typical low fault current conditions.
In addition to the standard ferrule terminal, Mersen offers Crimp Cap terminals for in-line fuse applications, allowing for solderless wire-to-fuse connections, ideal for overmold encapsulation. Protect your off-grid or grid-tied PV systems from line faults using Mersen’s HelioProtection® fuse line.
