<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I use the CH disconnect at the inverter as a maintenance
disconnect but only if the main utility disconnect is not close by.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I consider it $14 well spent. The switch is replaceable
with a 2P breaker so it may serve another purpose there. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The only drawback is that there's not much room for wires
and sometines they must be crammed into the tiny available
space.</FONT></DIV>

an AC disconnect? They are cheaper and seem inherently safer (all live
components are behind a plastic shield). I love the old square D
switches but this just seems like a better option so long as it is appropriate
for the application.<BR><BR><BR>Andrew Truitt<BR>Standard Solar Inc.<BR><BR
clear=all><BR>-- <BR>"Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just
that I prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there's an
enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers
more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's
wireless!"<BR><BR>~William McDonough<BR><BR>
