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.
