Re: [RE-wrenches] High Voltage Breakers for Conext Mppt-80-600
Eric, definitely what I had seen when we offgrid field tested the mppt- 80 in 2010 ! Totally bullet proof charger and the SQD disco shows there are 127 on the west coast for $115 HU361RB. Typically this is outside and protected where it belongs. It is fine next to the mppt if needed. Just do not land 600vdc in the PDP if you want code compliance and safety of the power system. The newer Mppt-100-600 is just as robust.

Re: [RE-wrenches] High Voltage Breakers for Conext Mppt-80-600
I’m facing this same issue. In the past we’ve used the old SQD disco’s near the inverter and fuses in combiners near the array, but they’re big and expensive. Anyone used these or see any issue with these: https://www.industrialcontroldirect.com/dc-disconnect-si16-pel64r-4-p-4080.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA_8OPBhDtARIsAKQu0gYOEY75OrhrQHsrDVHHCsUd-E6SiYwEcCi1FwY5vWua5iIFl7ovNxMaAroLEALw_wcB <https://www.industrialcontroldirect.com/dc-disconnect-si16-pel64r-4-p-4080.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA_8OPBhDtARIsAKQu0gYOEY75OrhrQHsrDVHHCsUd-E6SiYwEcCi1FwY5vWua5iIFl7ovNxMaAroLEALw_wcB> Or these: https://www.industrialcontroldirect.com/dc-disconnects-316/panel-mount-dc-switch-421/?zenid=bo3nrdji7umkvsr93hslphj4g4 <https://www.industrialcontroldirect.com/dc-disconnects-316/panel-mount-dc-switch-421/?zenid=bo3nrdji7umkvsr93hslphj4g4> Seems like a nice clean and not terribly expensive option.

Thanks guys, Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something.

Re: [RE-wrenches] High Voltage Breakers for Conext Mppt-80-600
Hi Mike No breakers I know of that fit the Conext boxes but you could use a MidNite Big Baby and a MidNite 600 volt breaker in it or even a touch safe 1000 volt fuse and holder they're DIN rail Tom Duffy Senior Solar Design Engineer Supply chain crunches brought on by the pandemic and Omicron's toll on the workforce are causing shortages of goods. Most analysts agree that rising prices - not just in the US, but also across the world - are largely consequences of the Covid-19 crisis rather than policy errors by governments or central banks. Infectious waves have closed factories in Asian manufacturing hubs and caused chaos in transporting products to US markets, creating a spike in demand. Also Americans have cash to burn after two years of canceled vacations, closed restaurants and working from home, a major factor supercharging the price surge.
