FAQs
The DCG2102UPM is a 60 A, two-circuit, non-fusible DC disconnect designed to safely isolate solar PV circuits. It supports isolated return and 1000 VDC systems, with a NEMA 4 painted galvanized steel enclosure for outdoor installations. This configuration reduces maintenance risk, speeds commissioning, and provides a reliable isolation point for both rooftop and ground-mounted PV arrays.
The unit provides main lug capabilities sized for #14-#2 AWG conductors, both for lugs and solid returns. When wiring, follow the isolated return configuration and ensure proper torque per lug specifications. The enclosure supports straightforward wiring in a two-circuit arrangement, helping prevent cross-connects and ensuring secure, code-compliant terminations.
Yes. The DCG2102UPM features a NEMA 4 enclosure made of painted galvanized steel, designed for outdoor environments. It complies with UL 98B and NEC 690 per UL 1741 standards, making it a robust choice for rooftop and ground-mounted PV systems exposed to weather and dust while maintaining electrical safety.
Absolutely. The device is rated for 1000 VDC system voltage, enabling safe isolation points for high-voltage PV strings. It is non-fusible and grounded, providing a reliable means to interrupt DC power and protect personnel during maintenance and servicing of 1000 VDC solar installations.
Eaton offers a one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Support includes documentation like the specification sheet, and access to Eaton’s technical resources for field installation guidance, compliance checks, and troubleshooting related to UL 98B, NEC 690 per UL 1741 requirements and 1000 VDC operation.
