In theory, all DIN rails should be the same, there are only two generally
used industry sizes, and 99% of those are the 35mm.
The problem we have seen on a very few is that the lip and/or the metal
itself that it is stamped out of is too heavy, so it won't fit into the
little slots on the item to be mounted. I vaguely recall that some older
Square-D breakers were not really DIN rail, they used their own odd size,
37mm or so, but that was like 20 years ago.

This brings up a question I had about DIN rails.
I've already tried to mount CBI breakers into a XW and they don't fit.
Not the holes but the actual DIN rail appears to be a different size,
just a little bit from the CBI breakers.
I can mount the QOU onto a CBI DIN rail, but not the other way around.
Maybe someone can tell me why?
thanks,
jay

Getting their DIN rail combiner box listed for AC is exactly what we
need. I'm not sure, but you might be able to snap the venerable QOU in.
Imagine being able to DIN rail mount bypass switches, separate breakers
for in/out, jump them together with a buss bar (or not), all in one box
that had a reasonable price?
Any more details on this? ETA, limitations....
We've made our own custom "UL compliant" boxes, and had them pass
inspection, but It would be much easier to just buy one.
Thanks,

William and others The Epanel lite was designed for the SW inverter. I
cant imagine the Epanel or Nottagutter making you feel claustrophobic
they are roomy and easy to see into and very easy to use.
Also Midnite solar is in the process of having there combiners listed
for AC use as well as DC. I think we have to step up here and say out
of all the solar manufacturer's we deal with Robin at Midnite solar
listens and gives us what we ask for when practical. I know he has done
1 off Epanels for a friend of mine in New York I don't see any of the
other manufacturer's doing that
