I need a high voltage DC rated switch for 3 series connected solar panels. The panel ratings are Voc 37.45V , Isc 8.7A, so I’ve been looking for a DC switch rated at 125V and 10A. If there is a simple SPST switch for this application I haven’t found it... ...Alternatives or suggestions?
Alternative - If you want a switch and not a circuit breaker, how about using a solid state switch and controlling it with low voltage? Your control could then be a standard panel mount mini toggle switch or equiv. If you need to fuse it, do that separately, in series with the switch. Extremely low parasitic draw, and cheap.
Something like this for $25.
