/ Perfect Welding / Solar Energy / Perfect Charging
RAPID SHUTDOWN BOX
/ The reliable rapid shutdown solution for Fronius inverters.
SINGLE STRING AND MULTI
STRING VERSIONS AVAILABLE
/ 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.
RATED N EMA 4X
/ Built for severe outdoor
conditions.
/ Robust metal housing.
/ Rated for rooftop install.
MOUNTING
