PVGuard PV solar complete molded case circuit breaker is designed for PV protection. It delivers dedicated DC fault protection that reduces arc fault risk and supports PV-specific safety standards, enabling safer and more reliable solar installations. It works across rooftops and ground-mounted PV arrays, inverters, and combiner boxes. 200 A amperage rating across three poles enables high-current protection without paralleling devices. This reduces cabinet clutter, lowers materials cost, and improves space utilization in compact solar controller enclosures. Ideal for main protection in PV combiner boxes and service panels. Fixed thermal trip with adjustable magnetic (T185) provides precise coordination for overloads. You can tailor the trip setting to balance nuisance tripping and safety margins across PV strings, improving uptime. This feature supports compliance with performance standards in fast-changing solar loads. 600 Vac / 250 Vdc voltage ratings cover both AC utility feeds and DC PV circuits in a single device. This simplifies stocking and reduces cross-device failures during maintenance. Suitable for rooftop inverters, PV arrays, and hybrid electrical panels. JG frame design with complete breaker and absence of terminals streamlines installation and service. The absence of terminals reduces wiring complexity, while the compact footprint fits crowded electrical panels. Compatible with standard bus and enclosure configurations used in industrial solar installations. UL 489 certification confirms safety and code compliance for MCCBs in industrial and solar environments. The product is backed by Eaton's warranty and support, helping protect long-term ROI.
