Good feedback. I'll note that we haven't seen any issues with the Eaton 60A, but we decided to go with Square D because it is robust and cost effective. Jason Szumlanski Florida Solar Design Group On Mon, Jan 3, 2022, 4:49 PM Dave Tedeyan wrote: > Hi All, > I thought I would follow up to

Hi All, I thought I would follow up to report that I swapped out the old GE 60A switch with a SQD one, and there have been no blown fuses since! Cheers, Dave On Tue, Nov 2, 2021 at 4:50 PM Jerry Shafer wrote: > looks like one more failure, once they start there is no going back as the > fuse

Trust me when I tell you that all of the line side conductors and taps are likely fine. It is unequivocally the switch contacts that are the issue. That said, I usually replace the conductors when there is any indication of overheating near the terminals. I have seen discolored copper, but it

It is always the left fuse! Thanks all for the pointers. I'll double check the monitoring, but am thinking that I will be replacing the switch with a SQD, and replacing the taps and AC wires as well while I'm at it. Cheers, Dave On Mon, Nov 1, 2021, 9:13 PM Jerry Shafer wrote: > Bad switch > >

I should also mention that it has nothing to do with ambient heat. This has occured in all seasons and with disconnects in direct sunlight on a south wall and disconnects in air conditioned garages. It's just a garbage product. We switched to Square D for 60A D222NRB fusible disconnects and are

It's the disconnect. We had dozens of this subpar disconnect design fail on Enphase systems. The 2 Pole has the same issue. GE gave us some nonsense answer that it's General Duty and not designed for continuous high power. Even 40A combined Enphase systems will blow a 60A fuse. What you will

Hi All, I am servicing a system that keeps blowing fuses on the AC side, although it appears that everything is sized correctly. It is a SolarEdge SE11400A-US inverter. Max continuous output current is 47.5A x 1.25 = 59.4A. There is a GE TG3222R 60A AC disconnect, and it is wired up with #6
