EARU DC MCCB 250A 2P 1000V – Solar DC Circuit Breaker (EAM1-A-250PV-2P)
The EARU DC MCCB 250A is a 2-pole moulded case circuit breaker built specially for direct current (DC) systems up to 1000V DC. It protects your solar panels, battery bank, charge controller and inverter from overload and short circuit by cutting the DC line automatically within milliseconds. With a high breaking capacity of 50kA (Icu) it is one of the most reliable and affordable 250A DC breakers available in Bangladesh.
Why do you need a DC MCCB in a solar or battery system?
DC current does not cross zero like AC, so an arc is much harder to extinguish. A normal AC breaker can fail or even catch fire on a DC line. The EARU EAM1-A-250PV is designed with a DC arc chamber, so it can safely break high DC fault currents from lithium/lead-acid batteries and solar PV strings.
Key Features
- Rated current 250A, 2 pole (2P) design
- Rated voltage DC 1000V – suitable for 12V, 24V, 48V battery systems and high-voltage PV strings
- High breaking capacity: Icu 50kA / Ics 35kA
- Thermal-magnetic protection against overload and short circuit
- Impulse withstand voltage 12kV
- Red push-to-trip test button for easy function check
- Large ON/OFF handle – also works as a manual DC isolator / disconnect switch
- Strong moulded plastic body and heavy bolt terminals for thick cable or busbar
- Complies with IEC/EN 60947-2, CE marked
Applications
- Solar PV system – large 48V battery banks, high-power hybrid inverters up to roughly 12 kW, PV array main isolation and industrial DC lines
- Battery bank to inverter protection (lithium LiFePO4 / lead-acid)
- Solar charge controller and hybrid inverter DC input
- DC combiner box and DC distribution panel
- Telecom, UPS, EV charging and industrial DC equipment

Installation Tips
- Connect the supply (battery / PV) to the LINE terminals (1, 3) on the top and the load (inverter) to the LOAD terminals (2, 4) at the bottom.
- If + / – polarity is marked on the breaker, follow it carefully; many DC breakers are polarity sensitive.
- Choose a breaker rating about 1.25 times the maximum continuous DC current of your system.
- Tighten all terminal bolts firmly and use properly sized copper cable or lugs. Installation should be done by a qualified electrician.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this breaker on AC?
No. This is a DC MCCB made for solar, battery and other DC circuits. For AC panels use an AC MCCB.
Which size should I choose – 160A, 200A or 250A?
Divide your inverter power by the battery voltage to get the DC current, then add about 25%. Example: a 6 kW inverter on 48V draws about 125A, so a 160A DC MCCB is suitable.
Does it work as a battery isolator switch?
Yes. The ON/OFF handle lets you manually disconnect the battery or PV line safely for maintenance.
