 Main Inverter DC Breakers - These DC breakers are large breakers used for inverter or electric car overcurrent protection and also act as a safety disconnect. The 125 amp DC breaker fits in the Outback Flexware 250, Flexware 500 and the Flexware 1000 for inverter and conductor protection. It also fits in the four extra slots in the Xantrex DC175 and DC250 as well as the slot in Midnite Solar's MNDC125, MNDC175 and MNDC250. The 100, 175 amp and the 250 amp DC breakers fit in Outback Flexware 250, Flexware 500 and the Flexware 1000 for inverter and conductor protection. They also fit in the two large slots in the Xantrex DC175 and DC250 as well as main breaker slot in Midnite Solar's MNDC125, MNDC175 and MNDC250.

What is a DC breaker?

A DC breaker is a resetable device used to protect conductors (wires) and equipment from overcurrent. Most common breakers are of the AC (alternating current) type such as those used in the breaker panel of your home. DC (direct current) breakers perform the same function in direct current systems such as the battery in your car or a solar system. DC breakers look similar but are much different inside. AC breakers may not be used on DC systems as they can fail or cause a fire.  DC breakers are rated by amperage (amps) and voltage (volts).

PLEASE NOTE: Each solar system should have a Class T DC fuse mounted as close to the battery bank as possible and a DC breaker for each inverter.
