APsmart Rapid Shutdown Solutions
APsmart is the brand brought to us by designers at APsystems. The solutions offer state-of-the-art PV module level rapid shutdown devices that work seamlessly with any new or existing string or central inverter system. The RSD-S-PLC meets SunSpec requirements, maintaining normal function of the PV system by continually receiving a heartbeat signal from the APsmart Transmitter. When no signal is present, the unit executes rapid system shutdown. This solution meets U.S. NEC 2017 & 2020 690.12 Rapid Shutdown requirements. By maximizing APsystems’ proven expertise in module-level power electronics, APsmart solutions are powered by ASIC with internal IP and integrated with TI chips at the system-level application.
APSmart pv module level rapid shutdown at a Glance
- Safe - Meets NEC 2017 and 2020 (690.12), and SunSpec requirements
- Reliable - Highly integrated SoC and fewer electrical components
- Flexible - Small and lightweight, can be adhesive or rack mounted
- Powerful - Longer daily module operating time due to low minimum operating voltage (8v), and low power consumption
- Stable - Eliminates unwanted AFCI nuisance tripping and noise
