Quick Summary

Eaton heavy duty DC disconnect provides reliable isolation for solar photovoltaic installations up to 60 A and 600 VDC. Without a purpose-built unit, PV work can suffer from unsafe service access and weather exposure in outdoor sites. It carries NEC 690 per UL 1741 and UL 98B certifications with a NEMA 4 enclosure, enabling durable outdoor operation. Designed for PV applications, it integrates with standard lug sizes and offers fast, code-compliant field connections, delivering lower lifecycle costs and reduced commissioning time for solar projects.

FAQs

Begin by verifying system voltage and conductor sizing to match the DCU1062FPM’s 60 A rating and 600 VDC per pole. Mount the enclosure on a solid surface, connect lug conductors (#14-#2 AWG or #14-1/0 AWG solid return as specified), and secure the fusible protection per the wiring diagram. Ensure NEMA 4 seal integrity for outdoor use and perform a mandatory functional test after installation.
The unit is a 60 A, 1-circuit, ungrouded DC disconnect with a maximum voltage of 600 VDC per pole. It uses fusible protection and a NEMA 4 painted galvanized steel enclosure. Lug capacity supports #14-#2 AWG with a solid return up to #14-1/0 AWG, designed for solar (PV) applications.
Yes. It is specifically designed for PV applications, featuring a NEMA 4 enclosure for outdoor use, fusible protection, and compatibility with common PV wiring configurations. Its 600 VDC rating aligns with modern solar arrays, while the ungrounded design supports safe, isolated operation during maintenance.
The DCU1062FPM is certified to NEC 690 per UL 1741 and UL 98B. These certifications ensure compliance with electrical safety standards for solar installations and reliability in demanding environments, which helps reduce commissioning risk, supports compliance documentation, and aids in permitting processes.
Eaton provides a one-year limited warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. For maintenance, inspect enclosure integrity, confirm fuse condition and ratings, verify lug connections are tight, and test functionality periodically to ensure continued alignment with PV system safety and performance goals.
