Overcurrent circuit breaker C60PV-DC-15 15A 2-pole A9N61659

Overcurrent protection switch for photovoltaic installations – reliable protection

This two-pole C60PV-DC-15 overcurrent switch, with a rated current of 15A, is specifically designed to protect direct current (DC) circuits in photovoltaic systems. Its design and characteristics provide effective protection against overloads and short circuits, which translates into safety and long-term reliability of the installation. This switch is a key element ensuring the safe operation of the PV system, protecting both components and users.

Construction and application

Manufactured by the renowned company Schneider Electric, the C60PV-DC-15 switch is characterized by its compact dimensions – it occupies 4 modules on a DIN rail. Its solid construction guarantees durability even in harsh working conditions. Designed for 800V DC, it works perfectly in photovoltaic installations for both domestic and industrial needs. Characteristic B provides a quick response to short-circuit currents, while allowing for short-term overloads resulting from the starting of devices. This minimizes the risk of unnecessary circuit tripping during normal system operation.

Key features and benefits

• Specialization for PV: Designed specifically for operation in direct current (DC) circuits found in photovoltaic installations – ensures optimal protection of system components.
• High short-circuit breaking capacity: The rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icu is 1.5 kA at 230V and 400V, which guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a failure.
• Compact dimensions: A width of 4 modules makes it easy to install in switchboards with limited space.
• Wide operating temperature range: The ability to operate at temperatures from -25°C to 70°C makes the switch suitable for outdoor and harsh climatic conditions.
• Universal connections: Accepts solid wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² and stranded wires from 1 to 16 mm², which facilitates integration with various types of cabling.
• Safety and compliance with standards: Compliant with IEC 60947-2 and EN 60898 standards, which confirms its high quality and safety of use.
• Two-pole disconnection: Simultaneous disconnection of the N poles ensures complete circuit protection.
• Expandability: Compatible with additional accessories from the Acti9 series, allowing you to adapt the functionality to the specific needs of the installation.

Thanks to these features, the C60PV-DC-15 switch is a reliable solution for every installer and user looking for safe and effective protection of their photovoltaic installation.
