> My understanding is that DC breakers are somewhat prone to fires for this reason, too.

I think its that DC breakers are more expensive, so people use AC rated breakers instead. They are both rated for 400v @10 amps, its the same thing right?

It turns out they are not, and most people, even electronics types rarely play with 200v+ of DC.



Yeah, I think this array was pushing 350-400V
