Eaton JGSDC3175FAG PV Guard MCCB - 3-Pole UL 489

Part Number: JGSDC3175FAG
Manufacturer
Eaton
Part number
JGSDC3175FAG

Quick Summary

Eaton PV Guard JGSDC3175FAG is a three-pole molded case circuit breaker for PV protection. Operators struggle with protecting PV systems from faults without sacrificing uptime or complicating maintenance. UL 489 certification ensures safe operation in industrial panels, while the design supports reliable protection across 600 Vac and 250 Vdc circuits. This device integrates with standard JG frame MCCBs and metric mounting hardware, delivering fast installation and a solid ROI for solar and commercial electrical systems. With 175 A rating and a fixed thermal, adjustable magnetic trip (T185), it coordinates protection across three phases and helps reduce nuisance trips during inverter start-up and fault events.

Feature → Business Impact → ApplicationThe JGSDC3175FAG uses a three-pole JG-frame molded case design rated at 175 A, with a fixed thermal trip and adjustable magnetic trip (T185). This combination delivers precise coordination for fault isolation, reducing nuisance trips in inverter-heavy PV installations and improving system uptime across commercial rooftops and utility-scale projects. In practical terms, technicians gain predictable protection curves, faster service interruption when needed, and fewer unnecessary outages in solar combiner boxes and electrical rooms. Long-tail keywords include three-pole molded case circuit breaker, PV protection MCCB, and JG frame MCCB, all supporting compliant protection in harsh PV environments.Terminals are line and load with Cu wire, and mounting hardware is metric. This simplifies field wiring, ensures secure terminations, and enables fast panel commissioning in new builds or retrofits, whether in industrial facilities or renewable energy projects. The compact footprint also aids in dense control panels and small electrical rooms while maintaining robust protection for three-phase circuits.Rated for 600 Vac and 250 Vdc, UL 489 certified, the device is suitable for both AC distribution and DC-side PV protection. The combination of a TC (Trip Type) and durable construction supports reliable operation in fluctuating solar conditions, inverter startup surges, and fault events, delivering consistent protection with minimal maintenance and a favorable total cost of ownership.Dimensions of 3.57 in depth and 4.13 in height/width, along with a 6.5 lb weight, enable straightforward replacement in existing Eaton PVGuard deployments and standard panels. The product’s warranty policy—one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment—adds procurement confidence and supports risk management for maintenance planning.

FAQs

For installation, use the metric mounting hardware specified for the JG frame and connect Cu wire to the line and load terminals. The device is designed for a three-pole configuration and supports standard PV protection layouts in panels and combiner boxes. Ensure proper clearance and secure terminations to maintain reliable fault isolation across 600 Vac and 250 Vdc circuits.
The breaker is rated at 175 A with a Trip Type of T185, suitable for both 600 Vac and 250 Vdc applications. It is a three-pole JG frame unit with line and load terminals and Cu wiring. It carries UL 489 certification, ensuring compliance with industry safety standards for molded case circuit breakers in PV and general electrical protection roles.
Yes. The unit is rated for 600 Vac and 250 Vdc, with a Vdc class designation, making it appropriate for PV protection on both AC distribution and DC side circuits. Its fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip (T185) provide selective fault protection tailored to three-phase PV systems and inverter startup surges.
The JGSDC3175FAG carries UL 489 certification, validating safety performance for molded case circuit breakers. This certification supports compliance in industrial panels, PV protection schemes, and general electrical protection deployments. Always verify local code requirements and ensure compatible UL listings when integrating into an enclosure.
Eaton provides a warranty policy per 25-000: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. For maintenance planning, consider routine inspection of terminations, verify trip settings during commissioning, and maintain documentation of UL 489 compliance for audits and system upgrades.
