Blue Oak Disconnecting Combiner Box, 16 Pole, 180A, Steel NEMA 4, HCB16DS
The Disconnecting Solar Combiner Box contains a load-break rated, high power switch. Installers, maintenance crews, and first responders can now safely disconnect the solar array at the source.
Disconnect at the source
Installers can put the DC disconnects closer to the source. This increases safety and serviceability by de-energizing at the array.
Save space
Some roof tops and ground applications will not accept awkwardly-sized disconnects with limited mounting orientations. The disconnecting combiner not only integrates multiple components, it also increases mounting options. Designers and installers dealing with low profile racking systems or roofs with limited installation space will appreciate the space savings.
Load-break rated switch
The load-break rated switch at the heart of the disconnecting combiner is capable of breaking the circuit with sufficient speed to eliminate “arc” formation between the contacts that is common in DC circuits. The load-break rating means this switch is rated for disconnecting its full current rating for more than 6000 cycles. The switch was tested to UL508 standards and listed by CSA. This listing uniquely tests the switch for 6000 cyces at full load and ensures the switch will last for these extreme conditions.
