Fuse Holders and Systems

Mersen UltraSafe Modular 600 Volt Fuse Holders for Class J fuses introduce a new level of safety and ease for installing or replacing Class J fuses. UltraSafe holders qualify as “finger-safe” to an IP20 grade of protection under IEC standards. The US3J accommodates 30A Class J or 22 x 58 mm French Ferrule* fuses. The US6J is for 60A Class J fuses. UltraSafe holders are available in compact 1, 2, or 3 pole units, with or without blown-fuse indicators in each pole. Multi-pole units can also be made up in the field by using the multiplepole Assembly Kits. All units have provisions for locking in the open position for safety during fuse changeouts or equipment servicing. US3J and US6J holders can be snap-mounted to 35 mm DIN-rail and they have a unique latch which will stay open to allow re-positioning of the holder in the future. UltraSafe body material is tough and durable polyamide.
*Holder not UL listed when installed with French Ferrule fuses.
RECOMMENDED FUSE USAGE:
*US3J, US6J use with AJT, A4J, HSJ

Mersen’s complete line of single and dual pole in-line fuse holders accommodate either 1-1/2" x 13/32" (10 x 38 mm) midget or Class CC fuses. The fuse holders are designed for quick installation. Securing nuts or screws are captive thus speeding installation by reducing the need to locate and assemble loose components in the field. Three internal O-rings per pole seal the fuse holder providing a waterresistant compartment for the fuse. The captive O-rings are colored (blue for single pole and red for dual pole) for quick detection. Optional cone shaped insulator boots can be slipped on to provide a watertight seal (breakaway versions come with boots standard). Both single and dual pole versions have an optional breakaway feature which safely disconnects the load in case of a pole knockdown. Fuses remain safely encapsulated within the watertight fuse holder on the load side. Once the pole has been reinstalled the fuse holder can be easily reconnected.

Mersen’s 1500VDC HelioProtection fuse holders for 10/14x85mm gPV fuses introduce the next level of safety for Utility scale photovoltaic applications. The HP15FHM32 fuse holders are also IP20 finger safe, with a rotating fuse carrier like the Mersen UltraSafe® fuse holders. The US15M1HEL fuse holders are finger safe up to an IP20 grade of protection, and feature a pull out, pivoting fuse carrier. All bodies feature high performance UL 94 V-0 rated polymer material, providing superior flammability rating, with exceptional durability and dielectric withstand properties.

The HP15FHM32 series input and output terminals accept standard PV rated wiring and comb bus bars, providing added versatility for end-use installations.The US15M1HEL is designed with terminals to accept standard stock bus bar eliminating the need for custom combed bus bar, saving cost, time and simplifying installation.

NH fuse-bases are available for delivery in single-pole and three-pole designs and can be closely mounted in parallel rows. Each three-pole base is upplied with two phase-partition walls. NH fuse-links plugon covers which clip onto the contact springs can also be supplied for these bases.
Plastic fuse-bases sizes 00 to 3 have a single-part plastic base while size 4 has a metal baseplate with 2 ceramic bases.
The stable silver-plated contact springs are made of electrolytic copper and formed from one piece. Separate springing is provided by highly resilient captive steel springs, making the contact invulnerable to high thermal stress. Size 4 NH fuse-bases are designed for size 4 fuse-links with 8 mm contact blades.
A microswitch (250VAC/10A, terminal size 6.3x0.8mm) can be used with NH fuse-links with striker, it operates when fuse melts or where there is no fuse-link.
Indirect touch protection fuse bases: no microswitch possible.
