Why Choose the Mersen HP10M6 Photovoltaic Fuse?
The Mersen HP10M6 is a compact, high-performance gPV photovoltaic fuse link engineered specifically to protect solar photovoltaic systems against line faults, ground faults and damaging overcurrents. As part of the proven Mersen HelioProtection® HP10M series, it provides dependable protection for photovoltaic string wiring, combiner boxes, inverter inputs and associated DC equipment.
Rated at 6 A and 1000 V DC, the HP10M6 is designed for the relatively low fault-current conditions produced by photovoltaic arrays. Its low minimum breaking-current capability of approximately 1.35 times the fuse rated current enables safe circuit interruption while helping protect modules, cables, connectors and connected solar equipment.
The HP10M6 features a compact 10.4 × 38.1 mm cylindrical body with tin-plated copper ferrule terminals for clip mounting. Its robust GMG construction withstands continuous current and temperature cycling, supporting reliable long-term operation in grid-connected and off-grid photovoltaic installations.
Key Advantages
- Purpose-designed gPV fuse protection for photovoltaic circuits.

Reliable Protection for Photovoltaic String Circuits
Photovoltaic arrays continue producing DC current whenever sufficient light is available, including during some electrical fault conditions. Specialist gPV fuses are therefore required to interrupt low-level reverse currents and high short-circuit currents before they damage modules, cables, connectors or connected equipment.
The Mersen HP10M6 combines low fault-current interruption capability with a high breaking capacity. Its durable construction is designed to tolerate the continuous temperature and current cycling found in rooftop, commercial and utility-scale photovoltaic systems, helping improve installation safety and longevity.
Typical Applications
- Photovoltaic string circuit protection.
- PV combiner and array junction boxes.
- Solar inverter DC input protection.
- In-line photovoltaic module protection.
- Battery charge controllers.
- Commercial and industrial solar installations.
- Grid-connected and off-grid renewable energy systems.
