PVGard DC/PV protection with 400 A rating and 600 Vac drives reliable overcurrent protection for solar arrays. The business impact is a safeguarded PV circuit that minimizes downtime and equipment damage, enabling uninterrupted power delivery in commercial and utility-scale installations. The LG-frame molded case design fits standard electrical enclosures, streamlining procurement and installation in rooftop and ground-mount PV projects. The complete breaker assembly, described as a complete breaker with no terminals, reduces field assembly steps. By pre-assembling essential protective features in a single unit, engineers gain faster wiring and improved protection coordination across DC segments. Applications include PV inverters, combiner boxes, and PV string protection where space is at a premium. Fixed thermal with adjustable magnetic trip (T185) delivers precise nuisance-trip suppression and selectivity. This feature improves reliability and reduces maintenance costs by preventing unnecessary trips while maintaining fast response to true faults. The 3-pole LG frame supports synchronized protection in three-phase DC PV circuits and simplifies replacement in legacy systems. Interrupt rating of 50 kAIC at 600 Vac provides a broad fault-current withstand margin, increasing system resilience against short circuits. In utility-grade installations, this rating supports compliance with safety standards while enabling safe operation under fault conditions. The panel-friendly design supports straightforward integration with standard lugs and accessories. Durability and compliance are reinforced by UL 489 certification and Eaton's warranty policy. The rugged construction and documented performance translate into lower lifecycle costs and predictable maintenance cycles. For installers and integrators, the product's documented technical data, including UPC and model specifics, streamline procurement and service planning.

FAQs

The LGSDC3400FAW is shipped without terminals and requires field-installed lugs or terminals per the LG frame installation guidelines. Ensure you select compatible lugs for the 400 A rating, mount the unit in a suitable enclosure, and follow torque specifications. Verify line and load connections align with the three-pole configuration and maintain proper insulation to prevent arcing.
T185 is a magnetic trip characteristic that provides fast, short-circuit responsive protection in DC circuits. It helps ensure selective coordination with other protection devices and reduces nuisance trips while delivering rapid fault clearance for PV arrays and inverters in 600 VDC environments.
Yes. The LGSDC3400FAW is rated for 600 Vac with a Vdc class designation, 400 A, three poles, and a 50 kAIC interrupt rating. This makes it appropriate for DC PV protection in rooftop and utility-scale PV installations, providing robust fault interruption and reliable performance in PV string protection schemes.
The LGSDC3400FAW carries UL 489 certification, confirming compliance with safety standards for molded case circuit breakers. This certification supports code compliance and safe operation within commercial and industrial electrical cabinets used in PV protection applications.
Eaton provides a warranty aligning with policy 25-000: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first.
