Suntree SM8-250HPV 100A 1000V DC Solar Circuit Breaker

The Suntree SM8-250HPV 100A 1000V DC circuit breaker is a moulded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) designed for compatible solar photovoltaic (PV) and high-voltage direct-current distribution systems. It provides overload and short-circuit protection to help protect electrical circuits and connected equipment from excessive current and fault conditions.

This breaker is designed for suitable solar PV applications where the operating voltage, current rating, wiring arrangement and short-circuit requirements match the manufacturer's specifications. The SM8-250HPV/2 version is a 2-pole configuration rated for 1000V DC.

Available through Coastalsolar Africa for solar installers, electrical contractors, commercial projects and other customers across Mombasa, Kilifi, Malindi, Watamu, Diani, Ukunda, Kwale and other coastal towns in Kenya.

Installation and Safety

This is a DC circuit breaker, not an AC-rated substitute. The 1000V DC rating must not be interpreted as a 1000V AC rating.

Before installation, verify the exact model suffix, number of poles, DC wiring diagram, maximum system voltage and short-circuit breaking capacity. Do not select a breaker based on current rating alone. Cable capacity, prospective fault current and the manufacturer's installation instructions must also be considered.

A qualified electrician or solar technician should install and commission the breaker. For coastal installations, use an appropriate enclosure and protective measures against moisture and salt-laden air.
