Overcurrent circuit breaker C60PV-DC-16 16A 2-pole A9N61651

Overcurrent protection switch for photovoltaic installations – reliable protection

This two-pole C60PV-DC-16 overcurrent switch is a key protective element in photovoltaic systems. Specifically designed to operate with direct current (DC), it effectively protects circuits against overloads and short circuits, ensuring safe and stable operation of the entire installation. Its design and characteristics make it ideal for use between photovoltaic modules and the inverter.

Functionality and application

The Acti9 C60PV-DC-16 switch is a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for multi-string photovoltaic installations. A rated current of 16A combined with a B characteristic ensures a quick response to current increases, minimizing the risk of damage. DIN rail mounting simplifies integration with existing electrical infrastructure. Use in DC installations requires the selection of components adapted to this type of voltage – this model meets these requirements, offering optimal protection.

Key features and benefits

• DC specialization: Designed and tested for operation with direct current, guaranteeing reliability in photovoltaic systems.
• B characteristic: Provides a quick response to current increases, protecting against the effects of short circuits and overloads. This allows for the protection of sensitive electronics in inverters.
• Breaking capacity: The switch withstands an impact current of up to 1.5 kA at 800VDC and 3 kA at 650VDC, ensuring effective protection in the event of a failure.
• DIN rail mounting: Enables easy and quick installation in electrical distribution boards.
• Width of 4 modules: Compact dimensions allow for efficient use of space in the distribution board.
• Wire cross-sections: Supports solid core wires with a cross-section of 1-25 mm² and stranded wires 1-16 mm², providing flexibility in wire selection.
• Operating temperature: A wide operating temperature range (-25°C to 70°C) allows the switch to be used in various environmental conditions.
• Safety: It has a rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp of 6 kV, which increases resistance to overvoltages.

The C60PV-DC-16 switch is a solid and reliable solution for professionals involved in the installation of photovoltaic systems and for end-users looking for safe protection of their investments. Its technical parameters and design guarantee long-lasting and trouble-free operation, providing peace of mind and minimizing the risk of downtime in the operation of the PV system.
