SRD Plans comply Rapid Shutdown requirements for 2014 NEC and 2016 CEC 690.12
How to Comply
Microinverter systems automatically comply with rapid shutdown.
The PV system shuts down completely upon loss of utility power.
SRD plan sets now include the Rapid Shutdown label.
Less than 10 feet from array: No additional switches are needed. The DC disconnect at the
sting inverter initiates rapid shutdown.
More than 10 feet from array: One or more rapid shutdown boxes are required. Fronius Rapid
Shutdown Boxes have been added to the SRD Price List.
STRINGINVERTERS
Optimizer systems (DC-DC converters) automatically comply with rapid
shutdown.The DC Disconnect at the string inverter initiates rapid shutdown.

/ Perfect Welding / Solar Energy / Perfect Charging
RATED NEMA 4X
/ Built for severe outdoor conditions./ Robust metal housing./ Rated for rooftop install.
MOUNTING
/ Mounting bracket included./ Can be mounted, per NEC 2014, on the roof or racking within 10 feet from the array or in the attic 5 feet within the array.
/ Input and output terminals are spring loaded for fast and easy connection without special tools.
RAPID SHUTDOWN BOX
/ The Fronius Rapid Shutdown Box provides the ultimate NEC 2014 code (690.12) compliant solution while enhancing rooftop and firefighter safety. With the Fronius Rapid Shutdown Box, Fronius offers a reliable and easy to install solution for all Fronius SnapINverters in systems up to 600 V.*
/ Directly connected to the inverter through the same conduit as the DC homeruns, the Fronius solution minimizes the number of components needed providing ease of installation. No additional power supply is needed, reducing overall system cost and streamlining installation. Rapid Shutdown is triggered whenever AC is not present and the inverter rapidly discharges the DC lines, allowing for a seamless code compliant solution to the 2014 NEC requirement for rapid shutdown functionality for PV systems on buildings.

Rapid shutdown is built-inWhat’s new in NEC 2014? NEC 2014, Section 690.12 applies to PV conductors over 10 feet from the PV array and requires that the conductors power down to 30 volts and 240 volt-amperes within 10 seconds of rapid shutdown initiation.

To learn more, visit enphase.com
The 2014 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC 2014) added new rapid shutdown requirements for PV systems installed on buildings. Enphase Microinverters fully meet rapid shutdown requirements in the new code without the need to install any additional electrical equipment.
Enphase comes standard with rapid shutdown capability
Residential Microinverter Commercial Microinverter
All Enphase microin-verters, even those that were previously installed, inherently meet rapid shutdown requirements, no additional equipment or workarounds needed
Enphase microinverters can safely shut down automatically, leaving only low-voltage DC electricity isolated to the PV module
String inverters require work arounds for rapid shutdown
Residential String Inverter Commercial String Inverter
Work around. Specialized Rapid Shutdown electrical box installed on the roof within 10 feet of array.
Work around. String inverter installed on roof, a hostile environment that string inverters are not built to live in.Work around.
Shutoff switch that is easily accessible to first responders on the ground.
Work around. Extra conduit in installation.
