Current rating
250 ANeeds confirmationThe UL98B row of BENY's BH-250 datasheet and the BH-250-2P page print 250A at 1500V, the value shown. The same datasheet's IEC60947-3 row prints 125A\160A 200A\250A and the page highlights print 80A-250A for the series; these describe the series, not this code, and are not recorded as its current.
Conditions

Printed as 250A at 1500V in the UL98B row of the datasheet's wiring graph (text layer: "Poles in series Number of Strings 1500V 250A") and as "Rated Current 250A" on the product page; the derating table prints 250A at 1500VDC. Series-level note (flagged, not a value of this code): the datasheet's IEC60947-3 row prints 125A\160A 200A\250A and the product page highlights print "2P 1500V 80A-250A" for the BH-250 series.

Device type
DC disconnect switch (PV DC isolation switch, load break)Documented claim
Conditions

The datasheet's application text calls it "BH-250 DC disconnect switch is designed and developed" for PV inverters, combiner boxes and other DC equipment to UL98B (its text layer runs some words together, so only that part is quoted), and calls the series "PV DC lsolation Switch"; the product page calls it a DC disconnect switch and a non-polar switch.

Conditions

The datasheet's product types table prints front operating handle for BH-250-2P-A ("BH-250-2P BH-250-2P-A BH-250-2P-B Front operating handle Front operating handle Side handle"); the handle position is what distinguishes the three codes, and the dimension drawings on page 3 differ by code.
