Specifications Parameter Specification Model VX5 VPS3001 Series Xantrex VX5 Rated Current 300 Amperes (A) DC Voltage Rating 48 Volts DC (Suitable for use in 12V, 24V, and 48V DC systems) Number of Poles Single Pole Interrupting Capacity Very high (typically in the range of 10,000A or higher at specified voltages, designed to safely interrupt severe short circuits). Trip Characteristic Thermal‑Magnetic. Thermal response for sustained overloads; Magnetic instant response for short circuits. Operating Temperature Approximately ‑40°C to +85°C (suited for harsh environments). Terminations Power Terminals: Large copper‑alloy stud terminals (e.g., M8 or similar) for high‑gauge cables. Auxiliary Terminals: May include small screw terminals for remote trip indication or auxiliary signals (refer to manual for details). Mechanical Life Several thousand operations (high‑durability switch). Mounting Orientation Can typically be mounted vertically or horizontally without performance degradation. Status Indication Mechanical position indicator (ON/OFF) and trip indicator window (visible when the breaker has tripped). Housing/Bezel Industrial‑grade plastic housing with integrated mounting bezel. Compliance Typically complies with UL 1077 (Supplementary Protectors) and relevant marine (ABYC, ISO) and automotive standards.
