Rapid Shutdown for 600V applications

The second generation ABB rapid

shutdown solution for 600V systems
is even easier to implement. This
behind the module product provides
a fail-safe solution for emergency
responders to eliminate voltage at
the PV array in compliance with NEC
Rapid Shutdown code requirements.
The ABB Rapid Shutdown system
requires no extra conduit;
minimizing additional material cost
and associated labor.

The inputs of both rapid shutdown boxes are rated for 25A which allows for single or paralleled string to be
connected to one input. On a 2 rooftop system either version of the Rapid Shutdown box, or both, may be used.
