FAQ

A: NEC table 310-17 shows THW rated for 265 amps for a 70C cable. The MidNite Solar cable is rated for 105C. UL allows two wire sizes smaller than the NEC allowance. The factory cable inside the E-Panel falls under the UL guidelines, but meets NEC guidelines also.

A: NEC 110.26 (working space width) stipulates 30 inches is required for the total width of clearspace. The E-Panel may be placed anywhere within that 30 inches. If the E-Panel is pushed all the way to the edge of the 30 inches, this will still leave an ample 20.5 inches for access. The three (3) foot rule applies directly in front of the E-Panel.

A: Yes. It is ETL listed for use in both countries.

A: When field installing AC and DC breakers on the same Din Rail, you should use the supplied UL listed insulator/barrier to separate the two circuits. All wiring insulation must also be rated for the highest voltage in the box. No barrier is required if different din rails are used for AC and DC.

A: No. You can move all the parts from the right hand side to the left. You will need to purchase a left hand door. Left hand E-Panels can be built at no extra cost when ordered as a “Left Hand” E-Panel. Ordering the “Left Hand” E-Panel would save the price of the left door.

A: Light gray makes it easy to see to wire the unit. Green is too dark. MidNite Solar also makes aluminum units that are powder coated white.

A: Use it up on stacked pairs or sell it on E-Bay while you can.
