PV Array DC Isolator Switch | 1000V, IP65, UL/IEC Certified

The PV Array DC Isolator Switch is crafted with a rugged enclosure that meets IP65, ensuring complete protection against water and airborne dust. The housing is constructed with a specially compounded thermoplastic that exhibits exceptional UV resistance, meaning it won't become brittle or discolor in harsh sunlight. In a year-long study, we observed that switches exposed to industrial UV levels retained 95% of their mechanical strength. This longevity reduces the total cost of ownership for system owners, as replacements become unnecessary. The switch's rubber gaskets are made with EPDM, which resists ozone and weathering, further enhancing its outdoor suitability. For regions with extreme temperature fluctuations, the switch remains dependable because it undergoes thermal cycling tests from -40°C to +85°C.

Safety is paramount in electrical installations, and our switch delivers with a clear visual ON/OFF indicator visible from a distance. The indicator is color-coded (red for off) and features a fluorescent marking for low-light conditions. The handle can be padlocked in the OFF position, complying with OSHA lockout/tagout procedures—a critical feature for maintenance technicians. Internally, the switch uses a double-breaking contact mechanism that rapidly extinguishes arcs, thereby preventing degradation. Each contact is made of silver-cadmium oxide, known for its high welding resistance. This design has been validated in independent high-voltage labs, where the switch withstood over 10,000 electrical operations at 1000V DC with a load of 10A without failure.
