Outback ICS Plus Rapid Shutdown Initiator
The ICS Plus Rapid Shutdown Initiator (RSI) is a cutting-edge solution designed to trigger a photovoltaic (PV) rapid shutdown event while providing clear indications for Solar On, Solar Off, and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) status. The FLEXware ICS Plus stands out as the inaugural end-to-end solution recognized under UL 1741, encompassing photovoltaic rapid shutdown systems (PVRSS) tailored for both battery-based and grid-direct solar installations. This comprehensive solution aligns with the 2014 National Electric Code (NEC) specifications, including compliance with NEC 690.11 (Arc fault protection), NEC 690.12 (Rapid shutdown), and NEC 690.15 (DC combiner disconnect). NEC 690.11—Arc fault protection (protects against arc faults due to loose connections, damaged wires or other DC component failures) NEC 690.12—Rapid shutdown (provides a means for first responders to safely de-energize controlled conductors) NEC 690.15—DC combiner disconnect (opens all ungrounded circuit co
