DC 1000V Solar PV MCCB 400 Amp Circuit Breaker
DC 1000V Solar PV MCCB 400 Amp Circuit Breaker — a heavy-duty moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB) engineered specifically for high-current photovoltaic applications. Whether you’re safeguarding a commercial solar installation or a large off-grid system, this 400A DC circuit breaker delivers reliable overload and short-circuit protection where it matters most.
Why Choose This Solar PV MCCB?
For solar combiner boxes with currents above 125A, a DC MCCB rated between 125A and 800A is the recommended choice — making this 400A unit the ideal fit for mid-to-large scale PV systems. Rated at DC 1000V, it is purpose-built for the direct current demands of solar energy systems, where standard AC circuit breakers simply won’t do.
Designed for direct current control circuit applications, this moulded case circuit breaker provides dependable overcurrent protection for solar power systems operating at up to DC 1000V.
