FAQs
The DCG6061UPM should be mounted in a suitable, code-compliant enclosure with a NEMA 4 rating for outdoor use. Connect mains or PV strings using LC terminals (#2-#14 AWG) or SR terminals (1/0-#14 AWG) per the product documentation. Ensure proper grounding, verify a 600 VDC rating, and confirm six-pole wiring is correctly arranged to match your array layout. Follow UL 98B and NEC 690 guidelines during commissioning for safety and compliance.
The 30A amperage rating indicates safe continuous current for each path in the six-pole unit, while a 600 VDC maximum voltage rating defines insulation and component limits. Non-fusible protection means the device does not interrupt fault currents, so protective coordination with fuses or breakers in the PV system is required. Grounded configuration reduces shock risk and improves fault clearing behavior in arrays.
Yes, the unit is designed for outdoor use, featuring a NEMA 4 enclosure that provides protection against dust, water ingress, and corrosion. The painted galvanized steel construction adds durability in exposed environments. This makes it well-suited for rooftop or ground-mounted solar installations where weather exposure is a factor.
The DCG6061UPM complies with UL 98B and NEC 690 per UL 1741 standards, ensuring safe operation in PV applications. This alignment helps with utility interconnection and code compliance in commercial solar projects, reducing risk during inspections and enabling smoother project approvals.
Eaton provides a warranty per policy 25-000, offering one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Routine maintenance centers on verifying terminations remain tight and inspecting the painted steel enclosure for corrosion. Given its robust enclosure and non-fusible design, expect extended service life with periodic inspection in harsh environments.
