60 A amperage rating with two independent circuits provides robust DC isolation for multiple solar strings, reducing cross-talk and limiting fault propagation. The non-fusible design simplifies maintenance and lowers spare-part complexity, while keeping protective separation intact. In practical installations, this configuration enables quick shutdown of individual strings at the disconnect, minimizing downtime during commissioning, testing, or inverter servicing. Premium enclosure integrity is achieved with a NEMA 4X rating and 316 stainless steel construction, delivering superior corrosion resistance and rain-splash protection. This translates to extended service life in outdoor rooftops, ground-mounts, and battery-backed PV systems where harsh weather and chemicals are present. The rugged enclosure also supports secure mounting and reliable seal integrity, reducing ingress risk and maintenance calls. Isolated return and grounded configuration enhance safety by clearly separating the DC path from the system ground, which reduces stray currents and improves fault clarity. The 1000 VDC system voltage and 60 A rating align with common utility-scale or multi-string PV designs, ensuring compliance with NEC 690 requirements and UL 1741, while supporting straightforward integration with inverters and combiner boxes. Wire compatibility is addressed with main lug capacity for #14-#2 AWG conductors, both lugged and solid return, enabling flexible field wiring and reliable termination. The 10.22 in depth, 12.88 in width, and 19.08 in height footprint simplifies cabinet planning and close-fit installations, while a 37 lb weight reflects a robust, serviceable unit suitable for frequent handling during installation and maintenance. Industry-approved certifications and standards underpin predictable performance and regulatory compliance. NEC 690 per UL 1741 and UL 98B approvals accompany the NEMA 4X enclosure, supporting both solar code compliance and safety mandates. Combined with Eaton's warranty and support policy, the DCG2102UXM offers a dependable, long-term solution with predictable spare parts availability and ready access to technical assistance for ongoing system reliability.
