Michael:
This seems like a rather stunning oversight—offering a charge controller
without any means to integrate it into the BOS built by the same
manufacturer.
Just now I laid a 600 VDC rated touch-safe fuse holder over a QOU breaker.
The fuse holder is smaller than the breaker so it would fit in the PDP.
The fuse holder would be a bit recessed which may look awkward and impede
the opening of the fuse holder. I do know you can buy DIN rail of varying
height. Maybe you could drill out the rivets on the DIN rail and replace a
short section of it with high profile DIN Rail and make a somewhat elegant
solution???
Good luck.

Thanks guys,
Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something. Curious that Schneider
doesn’t have higher voltage input breakers.

I use the SQD fused disco I mount this next to the CC and use the Flex
cobra wire for the low DC voltage and the do have breakers for the context
for that

Hi Mike
No breakers I know of that fit the Conext boxes but you could use a MidNite
Big Baby and a MidNite 600 volt breaker in it or even a touch safe 1000
volt fuse and holder they’re DIN rail

Supply chain crunches brought on by the pandemic and Omicron’s toll on the
workforce are causing shortages of goods. Most analysts agree that rising
prices — not just in the US, but also across the world — are largely
consequences of the Covid-19 crisis rather than policy errors by
governments or central banks.
Infectious waves have closed factories in Asian manufacturing hubs and
caused chaos in transporting products to US markets, creating a spike in
demand. Also Americans have cash to burn after two years of canceled
vacations, closed restaurants and working from home, a major factor
supercharging the price surge.

Wrenches,
Can anyone direct me to PV input breakers that are rated up to 600VDC that
would work in a Conext Distribution Panel? From what I can tell, Schneider
only offers breakers up to 160VDC.
Thanks,
Michael
