Fronius DUO and QUATTRO Rapid Shutdown Boxes
The redesigned Fronius Rapid Shutdown Box enables compliance with NEC 2014
and current NEC 2017 article 690.12 which requires a rapid shutdown function
for PV systems on buildings. These boxes are reliable and easy to install
for Fronius Primo single-phase inverters from 3.8 kW to 15 kW.
The boxes now feature a low profile design that cleanly fits underneath the
modules, and includes mounting bracket to easily attach to a rail. MC4 input
connectors rated up to 25A are provided on the DC input side, and spring
loaded terminals are provided for quick and easy wiring on the output circuits.
Using MC4 branch or “Y” connectors, one can wire two strings per input circuit,
for up to two strings using the DUO rapid shutdown box, and up to for strings
with the QUATTRO rapid shutdown box.
The box is triggered whenever AC is not present to the inverter, and the
voltage and current within the DC wiring between the array and the inverter
is quickly discharged. The box is NEMA 4X rated, and the DUO box can accommodate
one or two DC Strings, while the QUATTRO box can accommodate two, three,
or four DC strings, with a maximum rating of 600 VDC and 25 A per combined
output circuit.
