IMO Enclosed DC Switch IP66, 25A 600VDC 4 Pole

The IMP Enclosed DC Switch IP66, 25A 600VDC 4 Pole is a high-performance DC isolater that’s specifically designed to improve the safety of your solar power system. This device ensures a reliable disconnection of the DC circuits in your system, which helps make your system safe during maintenance and emergency shutdowns of the system. Unlike AC switches adapted for DC use, the IMP Enclosed DC Switch IP66, 25A 600VDC 4 Pole is built specifically for DC applications. This makes it safer and more reliable when used within these contexts. This device is rated for thermal currents of 25A and voltages of 600VDC, making it suitable for a variety of system designs and sizes.

The 4-pole configuration of this DC switch places 2 poles in series for each attached string, meaning it can accommodate 2 solar panel strings per device. This allows solar users to install fewer DC switches per system, even in large commercial solar arrays.

The IMP Enclosed DC Switch IP66, 25A 600VDC 4 Pole includes an IP66-rated, self-extinguishing plastic enclosure. This enclosure provides protection against dust intrusion and driving rain, and is even flame resistant. In addition to the IP66 rating of this enclosure, it has also received a NEMA Type 3R rating, meaning it is suitable for outdoor installations, even in harsh conditions. This DC switch has an operating temperature range of -40 degrees to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. Other compliance certifications include the following:

• IEC 60364-7-712 standards
• UL508i
• UL508 cRUus
• CE, TUV, GOST, and IEC CB approvals

In solar power systems, safety and reliability are critical. This DC switch serves as a central component in providing safe isolation of your system, securely disconnecting DC circuits during maintenance or emergencies, which keeps both personnel and equipment safe. The switch’s design also provides rapid arc suppression, minimizing the risk of damage from electrical arcs, and even includes a rotary actuator that can be locked to the “off” position to prevent accidental reconnection. This provides an added layer of protection by ensuring the circuits remain safely isolated when needed.

The ability to shut down and disconnect your solar power is just as important to its functionality as the ability to capture the sun’s energy. A DC switch like the IMP Enclosed DC Switch IP66, 25A 600VDC 4 Pole makes this kind of disconnection possible and ensures safe isolation when you need it.
