The BR-DC175 and BR-DC250 are t he sam e DC breakers installed in t he MP

( Magnum Panel) and MMP ( Mini Magnum Panel) system enclosures, and in-

cluded wit h t he MPX ext ensions. These breakers function as the invert er’s DC

disconnect swit ch and can be used as t he bat t ery- t o- invert er circuit prot ect ion

in m ost installations. These breakers were speciﬁ cally designed and t est ed t o

work wit h Magnum invert ers t o provide t he delay t im e needed t o m inim ize

nuisance breaker tripping.

Depending on t he part num ber, t he circuit breaker is eit her a 175 am p ( PN:

BR-DC175) or a 250 am p ( PN: BR- DC250) , high int errupt ion capacity, m ag-

netic-hydraulic, DC circuit breaker. These breakers have front- accessible con-

nect ions, each provided wit h a 3/ 8- 16 capt ive nut. Each breaker includes t wo

3/ 8- 16 Hex head bolt s wit h washers, and a back m ount kit for installing t his

breaker inside MP enclosures. This kit consist s of t wo m ount ing straps and two

# 10- 32 x 3.5” Torx screws to at t ach t he DC breaker to a m ount ing panel.

CAUTI ON : These breakers m ust be m ount ed in a vert ical position

to m eet t he speciﬁ ed t rip current and trip delay curve.
