Description
This heavy-duty ZJ Beny aluminium alloy isolator cover is built to protect DC isolator switches in solar PV arrays from the elements. Designed for outdoor solar installations, it shields the solar isolator switch from UV rays, extreme heat, impact and debris – thereby extending the life of the DC switch.
The cover is custom-made for ZJBeny DC isolator models and meets Australian solar installation standards (AS/NZS5033:2021). With its sturdy construction, this isolator cover ensures reliable, long-term performance in harsh weather, making it an essential accessory for any rooftop PV system.
Aluminium Alloy Protection Cover for DC Isolator Switch
This BYC-555 cover is formed from UV-resistant aluminium alloy, providing a robust enclosure for the isolator switch. It measures 555 mm long by 145 mm wide and 141 mm high, dimensions chosen to fully cover popular ZJ Beny switch bodies.
The cover slides over the inverter-side of the DC switch, protecting it from rain, dust and sunlight while still allowing easy access to the lever. Typical use cases include rooftop PV combiner boxes or outdoor junctions, where the DC switch needs an extra weatherproof housing.
The official datasheet shows the cover mounting over ZJ Beny’s isolator series, which ensures compatibility with BYSS, BYT and similar models. By meeting AS/NZS5033:2021 standards, this cover integrates seamlessly with Australian solar safety codes.
Key Features
- Easier to install DC Isolator Switch in complex environments
- Prevent DC Isolator Switch from high temperature sun exposure
- Give DC Isolator Switch longer working life
- Protect DC Isolator Switch from impact
Main Benefits
- For Engineers: Standardized fit for ZJBeny solar isolator switches (DC isolators), improving system protection and compliance with outdoor PV installation codes.
- For EPCs/Installers: The ZJBeny isolator cover provides a quick; its robust aluminium housing helps meet warranty requirements and reduces maintenance call-backs.
- For Homeowners: Keeps solar DC isolator switches safe from weather and sun damage, boosting the durability and reliability of the rooftop PV system.
Installation Overview
The BYC-555 aluminium alloy cover is designed to easily enclose and protect DC isolator switches in solar PV systems. It ensures weather resistance and impact protection while complying with Australian standards (AS/NZS5033:2021).
Position the cover
- Align the aluminium cover so it fully encases the DC isolator switch from the inverter side.
- Ensure that the lever and label of the isolator switch remain accessible and visible through the front opening.
Slide into place
- Slide the cover over the installed DC isolator switch.
- The internal dimensions (145 mm width × 141 mm height × 555 mm length) are tailored to fit snugly over ZJBENY isolator models (e.g., BYSS, BYT series).
Secure the cover
- Use standard fasteners to attach the mounting points of the cover to the panel, wall, or backplate as required.
- Ensure the tilt angle (~30°) on both sides aligns as intended for optimal runoff and mechanical stabilityZJBENY-Protection-Cover….
Cable clearance
- Leave at least 25mm cable clearance at the bottom and 63mm side clearance.
- Ensure enough room for safe cable bending and access to the isolator’s terminals.

ZJ Beny
ZJ Beny (Zhejiang Benyi Electrical) is a global leader in solar DC safety components. As a top Asia manufacturer of DC isolators, circuit breakers and PV protection devices, ZJ Beny leverages over 25 years of electrical industry experience. Their product range includes the BYSS and BYT series DC isolator switches (solar isolator switches) widely used on solar installations.
Engineers can review the ZJBeny DC isolator datasheet for detailed specifications, and installer reviews frequently praise the quality and reliability of ZJ Beny products. ZJ Beny’s customers include solar EPCs, developers and contractors worldwide, so their components – including this isolator cover – are trusted in commercial and residential PV systems.
It is designed to fit ZJ Beny DC isolator switches. In practice this includes the common 4-pole models – for example the BYSS series (non-polarity DC isolators) and the BYT/BYH series (1000–1200V DC switches). The BYC-555 cover’s 145×141 mm profile matches these switch bodies.
Yes. The cover is made of durable aluminium alloy with a UV-stable finish, ideal for harsh sun and high heat. It shields the isolator from UV exposure and meets Australian PV standards (AS/NZS5033:2021), so it’s fully outdoor-ready.
Absolutely. This isolator cover is built for outdoor installation – it is corrosion-resistant and constructed to protect the switch in open-air environments. It easily mounts over the DC isolator switch in a weatherproof manner, making it suitable for rooftop or external installations.
No. The aluminium cover is a passive protective accessory that does not interfere with the electrical performance of the DC isolator switch. In fact, by keeping the switch cooler and safer, it can prolong the isolator’s lifespan. Because it is an official ZJ Beny accessory designed for their switches, using the cover does not void the isolator’s warranty and is often recommended for long-term reliability.
Each carton contains 20 covers, and the minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 1 carton (20 pieces).
