*Compared to industry-standard 1000V DC models.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Wilson - Solar Installation Contractor
"Installed the BENY Solar DC 3P 1500V MCB in a rooftop PV system back in May 2024, and it’s been flawless over the past 6 months. The visual status indicator is a game-changer—lets me quickly assess if a trip occurred without opening the combiner box. Integration with the DIN rail was seamless, and the UL certification gave the homeowner peace of mind during inspection."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Martinez - Electrical Project Engineer
"We specified the Pro Model of this MCB for a 1.2MW commercial solar farm in Arizona. After 8 months of operation under extreme heat and dust, the units have shown zero failures. The 1500V DC rating and GFCI support were critical for code compliance, and the B curve response has prevented nuisance tripping during morning inrush currents. A solid performer in demanding environments."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Chen - Facility Maintenance Lead
"Using these breakers in our data center’s backup DC power distribution setup since February 2025. They’ve handled multiple short-circuit events cleanly and reset quickly after fault resolution. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that the IP20 rating means we had to add extra enclosure protection for indoor areas with high dust levels. Otherwise, excellent build quality and reliable tripping performance."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amina Diallo - Off-Grid Systems Specialist
"Deployed the BENY 3P MCB in a remote solar microgrid in West Africa last November. Harsh conditions, but the breaker has held up well. The arc fault and ground fault protection helped prevent a potential fire during a lightning surge event. Easy to integrate into standard panels, and the manual reset is intuitive even for local technicians with limited training."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thomas Reed - Industrial Plant Supervisor
"We retrofitted our 1200V DC busbars with the BENY Solar DC MCBs in January 2025 to replace older AC-type breakers that kept failing due to arc reignition. Big improvement. The DC-optimized design handles switching cleanly, and having LVD and CB certifications simplified our compliance audit. Highly recommend for any industrial DC application."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months

Dr. Linda Park - PV System Safety Expert
"The BENY Solar DC MCB stands out for its triple-layer protection (overcurrent, arc fault, and ground fault) and true 1500V DC capability. In my assessments, it exceeds IEC 60947-2 standards and is one of the few UL-listed DC MCBs suitable for large-scale solar farms. The B curve response is especially valuable for minimizing downtime in sensitive installations."
Rajiv Mehta - Power Systems Engineer
"After reviewing dozens of DC protection solutions, I now specify the BENY Pro Model for all new commercial PV projects. Its DIN rail compatibility, global certifications, and customizable current ratings make it ideal for scalable, code-compliant designs. A benchmark for modern solar circuit protection."
