Square-D safety switch disconnects
Cat. No. SD-SSD
Weight 3 lbs

According to the National Electric Code, section 690.15, PV arrays must have a disconnecting means to isolate the inverter from the PV power source. Utility grid-tie inverters that utilize PV arrays with voltages above 250VDC require a disconnect rated for 600VDC to perform this function. The Square-D 600VDC 30-amp 3-pole safety switches are UL Listed to handle 13A at 600VDC per pole. They can be used for disconnecting up to three PV arrays for three grid-tie inverters. It has wiring lugs that are rated to accept two #14 to #10 wires in each lug.

This allows the disconnect switch to also act as a string combiner in systems that utilize two strings of PV modules per inverter. The 600VDC 60-amp 3-pole safety switches are UL Listed to handle 38A at 600VDC per pole. All other Square-D 600VDC disconnects are rated for disconnecting one string at full rated power.

Many utilities require an AC disconnect between a grid-tie inverter and the AC load center, close to the AC service entrance, with a visible and lockable handle. A 30-amp 240-volt disconnect is good for up to 5kW at 240 VAC and the 60-amp disconnect is good for up to 11kW. For connection of multiple inverters to one of these disconnects, use an AC load center, with a circuit breaker for each inverter installed, as an AC combiner box between the inverters and the disconnect switch. The breakers can be back-fed with the inverter outputs and the load center main lugs will handle the combined outputs to be connected to the AC disconnect.

Use Class R fuses of the proper amperage for fused disconnects.

Disconnect Accessories

Use the hubs listed in the ordering table at the top of the page to connect conduit or a kWh meter socket to the top of the disconnect. Disconnects are raintight (NEMA 3R) for outdoor use. Order a neutral busbar and ground busbar if you need to land these conductors in the disconnect switch box. See table below to determine which neutral and ground to use.
