FAQs
The RGHDCW3200WM is designed for standard molded case breaker racks and can be mounted in common MCCB enclosures. Its 9.75 in length by 16 in height footprint fits many utility and commercial PV protection setups, reducing custom fabrication. Ensure proper DC wiring practices and clearances per NEC/IEC guidelines for DC components.
Key specs include a 2000 A amperage rating and a 1000 V DC voltage rating. These figures support large-scale PV arrays and high-voltage DC networks. Confirm cable ampacity, insulation, and overcurrent protection coordination with upstream devices to ensure protective curves align with system fault levels.
Yes. The RGHDCW3200WM is UL Listed, IEC Rated, and CSA Certified, which aligns with common North American and international solar project compliance requirements. This certification suite facilitates procurement, reduces acceptance testing durations, and supports project approvals with governing authorities.
PVGuard/Solar lineage ensures compatibility with Eaton’s protection ecosystem, enabling coordinated protection strategies and easier spare-part management. In practice, this reduces field troubleshooting time, speeds fault isolation, and lowers lifecycle maintenance costs for large PV installations.
Expected benefits include minimized downtime due to robust DC protection, simplified installation and commissioning, and reduced regulatory risk from certified components. While ROI varies by project, larger PV arrays typically see faster commissioning, fewer tripping events, and lower long-term maintenance expenses.
