The GYM9DC DC miniature circuit breaker series is used for overload and short-circuit protection in DC distribution lines, including communication and photovoltaic systems. The series combines the 1-63A GYM9-63DC versions with the higher-current GYM9-125DC versions, while keeping the different current ranges and breaking capacities clearly separated.

Application and Installation Notes
- Provides overload and short-circuit protection for DC power distribution lines.
- Can also be used for infrequent line operation under normal conditions.
- The 1P to 4P voltage ratings should be selected according to the DC system voltage and pole configuration.
- Use the 125A frame only where the higher-current ratings are required.
