Original price was: KSh5,500.00.Current price is: KSh4,600.00.

Key Features

  • High-Voltage DC Capacity: Specifically engineered to handle up to 1000V–1500V DC, making it the essential safety disconnect for high-capacity solar PV strings and industrial battery banks.

  • Rapid Arc-Extinguishing Technology: Features a high-speed “snap-action” spring mechanism that breaks the circuit in under 5 milliseconds, safely quenching dangerous DC arcs that standard AC switches cannot handle.

  • IP66 Weatherproof Rating: Housed in a heavy-duty, UV-stabilized enclosure designed to withstand extreme outdoor conditions, including heavy rain, dust, and intense tropical sun without degrading.

  • Dual/Four-Pole Isolation: Provides complete electrical isolation by disconnecting both the positive and negative conductors simultaneously, ensuring the system is 100% safe for maintenance.

  • Lockable “OFF” Safety Handle: The rotary handle includes a built-in padlock provision for Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, preventing accidental re-energizing during system repairs.

  • Flame-Retardant Construction: Manufactured from premium, non-flammable materials (UL94 V-0 rated) to prevent internal heat buildup and ensure maximum fire safety at the installation site.

  • International Safety Compliance: Fully certified to IEC 60947-3 and TUV/CE standards, ensuring the device meets global rigorous requirements for photovoltaic (PV) disconnect applications.

  • Visible Status Indicator: Features a clear, high-contrast ON/OFF interface that allows installers and emergency responders to verify the system’s power status at a glance.

  • Versatile Mounting & Wiring: Includes multi-size cable glands and internal bridge links for flexible wiring configurations, suitable for both wall-mounting and integrated combiner box setups.

  • Industrial-Grade Durability: Built for long-term reliability with a mechanical life of over 10,000 cycles, providing a “fit-and-forget” solution for the 25-year lifespan of a solar system.

Description

Solar PV DC Isolator Switch: The Essential Safety Disconnect for Your Solar Array

The Solar PV DC Isolator (also known as a PV Disconnect Switch) is the most critical safety component in any solar energy system. Installed between your solar panels and the inverter, this heavy-duty switch allows you to manually and instantly “break” the flow of high-voltage direct current (DC) from the roof.

Unlike standard AC switches found in homes, a dedicated DC Isolator is engineered to handle the unique challenges of solar energy. Because DC electricity does not have a “zero-crossing” point, electrical arcs are extremely persistent and dangerous. This isolator features specialized arc-suppression technology to safely quench these arcs, protecting your property from fire and ensuring that technicians can perform maintenance with 100% peace of mind.

Why Every Solar System Needs a Dedicated DC Isolator

  • Emergency Rapid Shutdown: In the event of a fire or electrical fault, the DC isolator provides a clear, reachable point to de-energize the entire PV array, protecting both the building and emergency responders.

  • Safe Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Allows for the total isolation of the inverter or charge controller, enabling technicians to replace fuses, swap components, or upgrade wiring without the risk of high-voltage DC shock.

  • Arc Quenching Technology: Equipped with a high-speed “snap-action” mechanism and internal arc chutes that extinguish electrical arcs in less than 5 milliseconds, a feat standard AC breakers cannot achieve.

  • Weatherproof & UV-Stabilized: Since these are often mounted on rooftops or outdoor walls, they are housed in IP66-rated enclosures designed to survive intense tropical sun, heavy rain, and dust.

Product Highlights

1. High-Speed “Sudden Action” Mechanism

The internal contact system is spring-loaded. When you turn the handle, the contacts don’t move slowly; they “snap” open or closed instantly. This high-speed trigger is what prevents the formation of dangerous, sustained electrical arcs that cause internal melting and fires.

2. Dual-Chamber Arc Suppression

To handle voltages up to 1000V DC, our isolators use a multi-pole series configuration. By looping the current through multiple internal chambers, the voltage is divided, making it much easier and safer for the device to extinguish the electrical path.

3. Secure Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Feature

The rotary handle features a built-in padlock hole. When the switch is in the “OFF” position, you can insert a standard padlock to prevent anyone from accidentally turning the power back on while you are working on the system.

4. Non-Polarity Sensitive Design

For ease of installation, this PV disconnect is polarity-independent. This means you can wire your positive and negative lines in either direction without compromising the safety or effectiveness of the switch.

Professional Installation Applications

  • Rooftop Isolation: Mounted within 2 meters of the solar array to provide a rooftop disconnection point for firefighters and installers.

  • Inverter-Side Disconnect: Installed next to the inverter’s DC input to allow for safe component replacement or system resets.

  • Battery Bank Isolation: Used to safely disconnect high-voltage lithium or lead-acid battery banks from the rest of the DC bus during long-term storage or repair.
