[RE-wrenches] Sqd H series disconnects

[Kirk Herander]

Hello,

 

I am combining -4- series strings at the array in a series-fused combiner.
The sum Isc of the four strings is 22.64 adc. I want to use either a
HU361(30 amp) or HU362(60 amp) as a disco at the inverter instead of running
individual strings a long distance from the arrays to the factory-supplied
SMA fused disco. So the Isc rating for the HU361 Is 11.5 amps per pole, the
HU362 is 38 amps per pole. Although not clear in the SQD datasheet, I think
that if two poles are series together the DC(non-pv dc) rating is a full 30
amps for the HU361, and 60 amps for the 362. But the limiting factor in a PV
application is the per-pole Isc rating, regardless of putting 2 poles in
series (this does not increase the Isc rating of the respective disconnect),
correct? I'm assuming my only choice in this instance is to use the 60 amp
disco?
