Scope:

This Standard specifies requirements for photovoltaic (PV) rapid shutdown systems (PVRSS) and PV rapid shutdown equipment (PVRSE) intended to be used in ordinary locations in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (CE Code, Part I) and rated 1500 V or less. A PVRSS is an integrated set of discrete components that work together to shut down one or more PV arrays installed on a building or structure.

Project need:

Sets provisions for photovoltaic (PV) rapid shutdown systems and to protect emergency personnel by limiting the conductors it controls to not more than 30 V dc or 15 V ac (rms), 8 A and 240 V•A. This is to be used in conjunction with CSA C22.2 No. 107.1.
