🛡️ Overload & Short-Circuit Protection

The breaker disconnects the circuit when current rises beyond safe operating levels, helping protect:

  • Solar cables
  • PV equipment
  • Inverters
  • Controllers
  • Connected DC devices

Its 6kA breaking capacity allows it to safely interrupt high fault currents within its rated limits.

⚙️ 2-Pole DC Isolation

The dual-pole design disconnects both sides of the DC circuit simultaneously, making it particularly suitable for photovoltaic installations where proper DC isolation is important.

✅ Benefits

  • Designed for DC applications
  • 32A current protection
  • Up to 500V DC rating
  • 2-pole isolation
  • 6kA breaking capacity
  • Compact DIN-rail design
  • Easy ON/OFF operation
  • Suitable for solar combiner boxes
  • Helps improve system safety

⚠️ Installation Notes

  • ⚡ Confirm the circuit current does not exceed 32A
  • 🔋 Confirm system voltage is within the 500V DC rating
  • ➕➖ Follow the polarity and wiring markings on the breaker
  • 🧰 Install on a suitable DIN rail
