How to Choose a DC MCB for Your Solar System

Size the breaker to your string, not to an AC equivalent. Match the DC voltage rating to your array's maximum voltage — a single-pole C60H-DC is rated 250V DC, so higher-voltage strings need a 2-pole unit rated 500V DC. Choose the amp rating above the string's continuous current with headroom for temperature derating, and use a C-curve for the typical PV and battery loads seen in solar installations. If you are unsure of the correct rating, our engineer can confirm it before you order.

Schneider Acti9 C60H-DC — Our Core DC MCB Range

The Acti9 C60H-DC (references A9N615xx) is Schneider Electric's dedicated DC miniature circuit breaker for direct-current circuits including solar PV, battery storage, transport and industrial DC control. It carries clear polarity marking to prevent wiring errors, a toggle position indicator, and complies with IEC/EN 60947-2. We stock the common solar ratings from 6A to 63A in 1P and 2P — for example the A9N61509 (13A, 1P, C-curve, 250V DC, 6kA).

Why Buy DC Breakers From Electrical Junction

• Global sourcing hub across Asia and Europe through our Mumbai arm (MAS Global Enterprises) for competitive pricing and restocking.
• Walk-in counter in Deira, Dubai for UAE buyers, plus export dispatch to KSA, GCC and Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a standard AC circuit breaker for my solar DC strings?

No — this is a common and dangerous mistake. DC arcs are much harder to extinguish than AC arcs, so an AC breaker used in a DC circuit may fail to trip or even catch fire during a fault. Always use a dedicated DC MCB rated for the DC voltage of your array or battery bank.

What DC voltage rating do I need for my solar array?

The Schneider Acti9 C60H-DC is rated 250V DC per pole. A single-pole unit suits strings up to 250V DC; for higher-voltage PV strings use a 2-pole unit, which gives 500V DC by placing both poles in series. Match the breaker's DC voltage to your array's maximum open-circuit voltage.

Should I use a 1-pole or 2-pole DC MCB for solar?

A 2-pole (2P) breaker is generally recommended for solar PV strings because it isolates both the positive and negative lines at once, giving complete isolation for maintenance and higher DC voltage capability. A 1-pole unit is used where only single-line protection at 250V DC is required.

Which Schneider DC MCBs do you stock for solar?

We stock the Schneider Electric Acti9 C60H-DC range (references A9N615xx) in 1P and 2P from 6A to 63A, C-curve, 250/500V DC, 6kA to IEC/EN 60947-2 — the standard choice for solar PV strings, battery banks and DC distribution across the GCC.

Where in a solar system should the DC breaker be installed?

Install DC breakers at two main points: between the solar array and the inverter to protect the PV strings, and on the battery bank to protect the battery and inverter while acting as a manual master switch for safe maintenance.

Do you deliver DC MCBs to Saudi Arabia and outside the UAE?

Yes. We dispatch across KSA, the wider GCC and African markets and supply standard export paperwork with manufacturer datasheets. For Saudi shipments, SABER conformity registration is completed by the importer of record; we provide the datasheets needed to support it.

How much does a DC MCB cost in the UAE?

Pricing depends on amp rating and number of poles. As a guide, a Schneider Acti9 C60H-DC 13A 1-pole DC MCB (A9N61509) starts from AED 150. Message us on WhatsApp for a full DC MCB price list for your ratings.
