APsmart System 1000/1500 V Rapid Shutdown System

The RSD-S-PLC meets SunSpec requirements, maintaining normal function by continually receiving a heartbeat signal from the APsmart Transmitter. The RSD executes rapid system shutdown when the Transmitter signal is absent. Users can manually execute rapid shutdown using Transmitter breaker switch. From the developers at APsystems, APsmart offers state-of-the-art PV module rapid shutdown devices (RSD-S-PLC and RSD-D), ideal for any new or existing string or central inverter system, and meeting U.S. NEC 2017&2020 690.12 Rapid Shutdown requirements. Leveraging 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.
