Kirk, Could there be a loose wire connection to the breaker? That could cause it to heat up an trip sooner than it otherwise would. Cheers, Dave On Sat, May 8, 2021, 2:13 PM Kirk Herander, VSE wrote: > I have a system where the SE1 inverter fried internally. The 60A AC > output breaker tripp

Hi Dave, You did get the Square D part right. See the Schneider website, which shows that it is 600V DC and does have an off in the middle. https://www.se.com/us/en/product/DTU361/safety-switch%2C-double-throw%2C-non-fusible%2C-30a%2C-600-vac-vdc%2C-3-poles%2C-30-hp%2C-nema-1/ Cheers, Dave On S

Kirk, Have you tried IMO (https://www.imoautomation.com/). I haven't seen any ATS units advertised, but they have a pretty extensive and reasonably priced listing of DC control equipment. Howie *Howie Michaelson**Sun Catcher* *NABCEP Certified Solar PV Installer™* *Solar Electric Systems Sales

I think I gave you the wrong schneider P/N back tomorrow. Sorry! You want an off in the middle and switch the 600vdc to A up or B down I think. Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ [1] e-mail offgridso...@sti.net [2] text 209 813 0060

One of the Wrenches reminded me about the Schneider Square D model below. It is huge and not inexpensive. I thought I had found a smaller one from Siemens but it only had a 250 vdc rating. Let us know if you find a smaller version with 600vdc. https://www.gordonelectricsupply.com/p/Square-D-Dtu

This whole high voltage connection discussion got me searching, and I found Phoenix Contact makes a DIN rail mount terminal block that is 1000 v rated.  That would seem to make way more sense than using MC 4 connects in a J box, and would provide the access for voltage readings and torque check

I have a system where the SE1 inverter fried internally. The 60A AC output breaker tripped several times, as a result of the homeowner resetting over and over until he called me. I replaced the inverter under warranty and all is fine, except on sunny days the breaker will trip at about 40A,

Hello, Any recommendations for sourcing a 600 vDC bypass / transfer switch? I know Morningstar used to make a manual stand-alone, but now it appears to be offered only as part of their HV charge controller. Thanks. Kirk Herander / kirkh@vermont.solar [mailto:kirkh@vermont.solar] Owner|Principal,
