• Solar Installers looking for reliable, branded components for their clients.

• Off-grid Cabin Owners who need a dependable battery disconnect switch.

Installation & Usage Guide

1. Switch Off First: Always ensure the solar panels are covered or the inverter is off before installation.

2. Din-Rail Fit: Snap the breaker onto the rail inside your DC Distribution Box (DB).

3. Correct Wiring: Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires from the solar panels to the top terminals, and the wires going to the inverter to the bottom terminals.

4. Tighten Connections: Ensure all screws are tight to prevent sparking (a common cause of DB melting in Pakistan).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Can I use a regular 32A AC breaker for my solar panels? A: No. AC breakers are not designed to extinguish the constant arc produced by DC current. Using an AC breaker on a DC solar line is a major fire hazard. Always use a dedicated DC breaker like this one.

Q2: Is 32A enough for my 5kW solar system? A: Generally, yes. Most 545W or 550W panels have a current of around 13A to 14A per string. A 32A breaker provides a safe margin for 1 or 2 strings in parallel.

Q3: Does this breaker come with a warranty? A: Yes, Pak ElectricCo provides a 1 year replacement warranty against manufacturing defects, ensuring your investment is protected.

Q4: Will this work with both Lead-Acid and Lithium batteries? A: Yes, as long as the battery bank current does not exceed the 32A rating, it serves as an excellent disconnect switch.

Q5: Is it waterproof? A: The breaker itself is not waterproof and must be installed inside an IP65-rated distribution box if placed outdoors.
