Product details

MCCB for solar distribution — 160 A, 36 kA at 800 V AC

It carries a 36 kA interrupting capacity at 800 V AC (performance level F), making it a fit for solar combiner boxes or inverter output distribution where high DC or AC fault currents are expected. The trip unit is electronic, not thermal-magnetic, so it holds its calibration tighter across ambient shifts — useful in rooftop or outdoor enclosures where temperature swings are routine. Thermal memory is built in, so the breaker remembers prior heating and shortens the trip time on repeated overloads.

Rated operational voltage (Ue) is 800 V AC 50/60 Hz — that covers 480 V and 600 V panels with headroom, and suits the higher string voltages common in commercial solar installations. For panels with a higher available fault current, you would need to coordinate upstream — a current-limiting fuse or a larger-frame MCCB.

Fixed-mount design with a 40 mm pole pitch, intended for backplate mounting in a distribution panel. Both line and load connections are front-accessible screw terminals — no rear bus bar required, which simplifies wiring in a retrofit or panel build. Mounts horizontally or vertically, so orientation is flexible inside the enclosure.
