The Situation

What Makes This Sector Different

DC strings, combiner boxes and battery circuits cannot be protected with an ordinary AC breaker. The DZ47Z-63 series is specified for DC 12V to DC 1000V with a 4.5kA ultimate breaking capacity and 1200V DC rated insulation, which is what a PV installer needs on the DC side.

Pain Points

What Goes Wrong Today

  • An AC rated MCB cannot extinguish a DC arc reliably
  • String faults are hard to isolate without a dedicated DC device
  • Installers hold two supply chains, one for AC distribution and one for DC protection
  • Combiner boxes need compact DIN devices rated to the full string voltage
Requirements

What The Specification Needs

  • DC rated miniature circuit breakers up to 1000V DC
  • Pole options to break both poles of a string
  • Isolation for maintenance on live arrays
  • Surge protection on the DC and AC sides of the inverter

FAQ

Solar PV and Battery Systems Questions

What DC voltage does the solar MCB cover

DC 12V to DC 1000V with rated insulation voltage of 1200V DC.

What breaking capacity is available on the DC side

The ultimate breaking capacity is 4.5kA with 100 percent service breaking capacity.

Can an ordinary AC MCB be used on a PV string

No. Use the DC rated series. AC devices are not specified for the sustained arc a DC fault produces.

Which poles should be broken on a string

That depends on the array earthing arrangement. Send us your single line diagram and string voltage and we will advise on the pole count.
