Fusible
Six-pole, fusible DC disconnect enables centralized isolation across multi-string PV arrays, reducing wiring complexity and improving fault isolation for service technicians in the field. This translates to shorter maintenance windows and lower risk during shut-down procedures, especially in rooftop and ground-mount installations. In solar projects, clear, contained switching improves commissioning speed and regulatory traceability, aligning with NEC 690 requirements. The 60 A amperage rating supports modular configurations, reducing the need for additional protection devices and enabling faster system scaling on growing PV deployments. The painted galvanized steel enclosure provides outdoor durability, delivering weather resistance and long service life in exposed environments. Grounded operation with defined conductor terminals (LC and SR) simplifies wiring practices, improves safety, and supports compliant installation in busy electrical rooms.

FAQs
For outdoor installations, the DCG6062FRM uses a NEMA 3R painted galvanized steel enclosure, rated for exterior service. It supports six-pole, fusible operation with In/Out LC wiring (#2-#14 AWG) and In/Out SR wiring (1/0-#14 AWG). Plan a secure mount, proper weather sealing, and accessible wiring routes to simplify maintenance and ensure NEC 690 compliance during commissioning.
The six-pole configuration provides centralized isolation across multiple DC strings, improving fault management and reducing the number of separate disconnects required. The fusible protection streamlines protection schemes, enabling simpler fault tracing and safer maintenance procedures with predictable thermal behavior, which helps drive uptime in solar installations.
Yes. The DCG6062FRM is designed for DC photovoltaic applications with a 600 VDC rating and six poles, making it suitable for grid-tied and standalone PV deployments. Its NEMA 3R enclosure supports outdoor use, while its grounded, fusible design helps meet common utility and code requirements. This flexibility makes it a robust choice for various project scales.
This unit adheres to NEC 690 requirements as referenced by UL 1741, and UL 98B for enclosure protection. It also features a NEMA 3R rating for outdoor durability. These certifications help ensure code compliance, safety, and reliability in harsh environments, reducing the risk of non-compliance during inspections and audits.
The device reduces downtime by offering a single, centralized disconnect for multiple DC strings, which speeds maintenance and commissioning. Its rugged enclosure and rated components minimize weather-related failures, lowering repair costs. Over a project lifetime, this can translate to increased system availability, lower labor costs, and a faster path to return on investment for solar developers.
