FAQs
The DCG3061FPM is designed for outdoor solar PV use with a NEMA 4 enclosure, providing weather resistance and corrosion protection via painted galvanized steel. Its UL 98B and NEC 690 per UL 1741 certifications support compliance for outdoor PV systems. The unit uses a grounded, isolated-return configuration and fusible protection, offering a straightforward, rugged isolation point for maintenance and fault management in harsh environments.
Key specs include a 30A amperage rating, three-pole configuration, 600 VDC maximum voltage, fusible protection, and a grounded, isolated return. It is intended for 600 VDC per pole PV circuits and supports main-lug terminations with LC wiring (#2-#14 AWG) and SR terminations (1/0-#14 AWG). These details enable safe, code-compliant switching for solar arrays.
Yes, the DCG3061FPM is a three-pole DC disconnect designed for solar PV applications. Its three-pole arrangement ensures all conductors can be simultaneously opened, which is essential for safe isolation in multi-string PV configurations. The 30A rating and 600 VDC capability make it appropriate for mid-size PV installations that require fusible protection and isolated return for maintenance safety.
The unit meets UL 98B and NEC 690 per UL 1741 requirements, aligning with common PV safety and wiring standards. Its NEMA 4 enclosure provides additional protection for outdoor or harsh environments. Compliance with these standards helps ensure safe operation, easier inspections, and smoother permitting for solar projects.
Maintenance benefits include a clearly defined isolation point, robust fused protection, and a grounded isolated return that simplifies service procedures and reduces fault risk. The enclosure’s durability supports longer service life in outdoor settings, contributing to lower lifecycle costs. Warranty terms (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment) also provide a predictable support window for project budgeting.
