EMITER EM-1096_DCAC PV DC/AC Switchgear, IP66 Hermetic, Dehn Type 1+2 SPD, 6 MPPT, 100A 3-Phase

Solar farm technicians and PV installers working on commercial rooftop or ground-mounted arrays need a reliable, weatherproof connection point between the DC strings and the AC grid. The EMITER EM-1096_DCAC switchgear consolidates six PV strings with individual MPPT inputs, provides Dehn Type 1+2 surge protection on both DC and AC sides, and houses a 100A three-phase fuse-switch-disconnector in a hermetic IP66 enclosure. This unit is built for harsh outdoor environments where dust, rain, and temperature swings are daily realities.

Key specifications

• Enclosure: Hermetic, IP66 rated for complete protection against dust and powerful water jets
• DC side: 6 PV string inputs, 6 MPPT channels, Dehn Type 1+2 surge arrester, max system voltage 1000V DC
• AC side: Dehn Type 1+2 surge arrester, 3-phase configuration, rated current 100A
• AC disconnect: 100A fuse-switch-disconnector (FR) for safe isolation
• Auxiliary features: Phase monitoring and auxiliary socket for maintenance tools
• Surge protection brand: Dehn – industry-leading SPD technology

Why choose it

This switchgear eliminates the need for separate DC and AC protection boxes, saving installation time and reducing wiring complexity. The hermetic IP66 enclosure ensures long-term reliability even in coastal or high-humidity areas. With Dehn Type 1+2 surge arresters on both sides, your inverters and downstream equipment are shielded from lightning-induced transients. The integrated fuse-switch-disconnector allows safe manual isolation for maintenance.

Ideal use cases

• Commercial rooftop PV systems requiring compact, weatherproof DC/AC consolidation
• Ground-mounted solar farms in dusty, rainy, or coastal environments
• Installations where separate DC and AC protection boxes are impractical
• Projects demanding high surge protection standards (Type 1+2) for inverter safety

Good to know

The EM-1096_DCAC is designed for three-phase AC grids with a rated current of 100A. Its six MPPT inputs allow independent optimization of each PV string, maximizing energy yield even under partial shading. The auxiliary socket provides convenient power for maintenance tools, while phase monitoring adds an extra layer of operational safety. The hermetic sealing prevents internal condensation, extending component lifespan.
