About this item

  • FUNCTIONS: Used to protect power distribution facilities from overload and short-circuit damage, and can also be used for control and isolation.
  • FAST TRIP: The electromagnetic trip system can trip immediately when the circuit is short-circuited to protect the safety of the circuit.
  • ARC EXTINGUISHING: DC arc extinguishing is more difficult than AC. This DC mini circuit breaker has a magnetic system to assist arc extinguishing.
  • APPLICATION: Used in DC power system, ship electric power system, solar photovoltaic system, or other DC system.
  • INSTALLATION: Screw clamp wires, 35mm DIN rail mount.



Product Description

DC solar circuit breaker

Chtaixi DC Miniature Circuit Breaker

Warm Tips:

  • Pay attention to polarity.
  • Select wire size according to rated current.
DC solar circuit breaker Magnetic Arc Extinguishing

Magnetic Arc Extinguishing

AC has a zero-crossing point, but DC does not, so DC arc is more difficult to extinguish than AC arc, which is why AC circuit breakers can not be used for DC power, and DC circuit breakers can be used for AC power. This DC mini circuit breaker is equipped with a magnetic field system under the breaking contacts, which can pull the arc to the arc extinguishing chamber to assist arc extinguishing.

DC solar circuit breaker polarity

Polarity Marked

This DC MCB has no polarity requirement in use, and the positive and negative poles can be inverted. However, the installation, use, and maintenance of DC circuits are based on polarity requirements. So, in order to provide reliable indication and reference for the distribution, we highly recommend that you connect the wires according to the marked polarity.

DC solar circuit breaker Tunnel terminal

Tunnel Terminal

The clamping design of the terminal block is designed to connect firmly, and the tightening torque is 2.5 N.m. ( Soft silicone wire needs to crimp fixed the wire end with copper crimp before wiring. ) Make sure that the wires are tightly connected when connecting to prevent loosening and heating. The surface of the terminal is tin-plated, and the plating layer can improve conductivity, corrosion resistance, and durability.

DC solar circuit breaker Silver Alloy Contacts

Silver Alloy Contacts

Contacts are very important to circuit breakers, especially for DC distribution with high arc extinguishing requirements. Good contacts can reduce the heat generated by arcing during disconnection and reduce the wear of the contacts. This DC circuit breaker uses silver alloy contacts, which improves electrical durability, and protects your electricity safety for a long time.

Hopefully never need these, but will be glad I used them, if something happens. Seems excellent quality. The terminals are large enough to accommodate larger gauges of wire.

I used this with my off-grid solar array, and it works great. It arrived quickly and undamaged, installed easily, and so far works flawlessly (over a year so far). A little pricey, but worth it.

I bought this for a solar disconnect for my off grid setup. I have two strings of panels coming in to my Signature Solar setup. With just a flip of the switch I can disconnect the incoming 24V power and make any modifications I want or install any other in line equipment safely. Took ten minutes to install.

I bought these for the primary reason to be able to isolate my solar panels from my system. Turn them on/off. The mini breaker does that fine. Will they trip in a fault? I have no idea since I haven't had a fault yet. I've bought several to cover my panel strings. So far so good.

So the screw terminals have some mild laser etched pattern with no real bite to retain wire. While using 10awg THHN, I’d torque the retention screw as far as possible (why use a Phillips, I don’t know. So many better options) to the point that the unit is flexing and the plastic shell wants to separate. Only to find when mounting the unit, the cable will fall out. After some testing, I found that if you “crimped” the wire a bit by using pliers to pre-flatten the cable before inserting and screwing the retention screw, it performed reasonably well at retaining the wire. I will buy again as the price is right, but I’ll also keep a spare on hand.

I got one of these double pole breakers to disconnect the solar panels from the controller and to protect the whole system. Although I doubt two 100 watt solar panels could cause the breakers to trip, the protection is there if something does go wrong. The DIN mounting system is excellent: just screw the plate where you want it and the breaker snaps in place. The two poles means one can disconnect both positive and negative leads with one ganged switch. I mounted mine in a enclosed location and I just lift a cover if I need to disconnect the panels. Controller manufacturers recommend disconnecting the solar panels before disconnecting the battery connection to the controller, so something like these breakers are needed to do that.
