{"id":1034,"count":8,"description":"Circuit breakers \u2014 also known as automatic circuit breakers \u2014 protect electrical circuits against overcurrents and short circuits by automatically cutting off the power supply when the current exceeds the rated capacity. In photovoltaic installations, they are essential for both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) circuits.\r\n\r\nAt FVComponentes.com, we stock circuit breakers for all circuits in a solar installation, for both alternating current and direct current:\n\n500 VDC circuit breakers (Maxge Alpha+): specifically designed for direct current in photovoltaic installations. Direct current is more difficult to interrupt than alternating current \u2014 a conventional AC circuit breaker cannot be used in DC circuits without the risk of an electric arc. Available in 16A, 20A, 25A and 40A at 500VDC. For protecting panel strings, battery lines and MPPT controllers in DC circuits.\n80 V DC circuit breakers (Projoy): for protecting low-voltage DC lines in 12 V, 24 V and 48 V systems. Up to 125A.\n\nNot sure which circuit breaker to use in each circuit of your installation? Our technical team will advise you on the correct rating and type in accordance with the applicable regulations.","link":"https:\/\/fvcomponentes.com\/en\/categoria-producto\/material-electrico\/magnetotermicos-dc\/","name":"DC circuit breakers","slug":"dc-thermal-magnetic-circuit-breakers","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":410,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fvcomponentes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/1034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fvcomponentes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fvcomponentes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fvcomponentes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/410"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/fvcomponentes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=1034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
