Enphase, Energy// Rapid Shutdown <br />Rapid shutdown is built-in <br />The 2014 and 2017 editions of the National Electrical Code (NEC 2014/NEC <br />What's new In Section 690.12? <br />2017) added new rapid shutdown requirements for PV systems installed on <br />NEC 2014/2017, Section 690.12 applies <br />buildings. Enphase Microinverters fully meet rapid shutdown requirements 111 <br />to PV conductors over 10 feet from <br />the new code without the need to install any additional electrical equipment. <br />the PV array and requires that the <br />conductors power down to 30 volts <br />and 240 volt-amperes within 10 <br />seconds of rapid shutdown initiation. <br />String inverters require work arounds for rapid shutdown <br />Work around. <br />Specialized Rapid Shutdov, <br />electrical box installed on tt <br />roof within 10 feet of array. <br />Work around. <br />Shutoff switch that is <br />easily accessible to first <br />responders on the ground. <br />Work around. <br />Extra conduit in installation. <br />Residential String Inverter <br />Work around. <br />String inverter installed <br />on roof, a hostile <br />environment that string <br />Inverters are not built <br />to live in. <br />Commercial String Inverter <br />Enphase comes standard with rapid shutdown capability <br />All Enphase microin- <br />verters, even those that <br />were previously installed, <br />inherently meet rapid <br />shutdown requirements, <br />no additional equipment <br />or workarounds needed <br />Residential Microinverter <br />Enphase microinverters <br />can safely shut down <br />automatically, leaving <br />only low -voltage DC <br />electricity isolated to <br />the PV module <br />Commercial Microinverter <br />To learn more, visit enphase.com v E N P H A S E <br />QUICK INSTALL GUIDE ENPHASE <br />Install the Enphase IQ7, IQ7+, IQ7A, and IQ7X Microinverter <br />To install Enphase IQ Series Microinverters, read and follow all warnings and instructions in this guide and the Enphase IQ7, I07+, and IQ7X Microinverter <br />installation and Operation Manual at enohase.com/support- Safety warnings are listed at the end of this guide. <br />The Enphase microinverter models listed in this guide do not require grounding electrode conductors (GEC), equipment grounding conductors (EGC), or <br />grounded conductors (neutral). The microinverter has a Class II double -insulated rating, which includes ground fault protection (GFP). To support GFP use only <br />PV modules equipped with DC cables labeled 'PV Wire or'PV Cable". <br />IMPORTANT: The Enphase IQ Series Microinverters include AC and DC connectors integrated into the bulkhead. The AC port connects to an IQ Cable or IQ <br />Field Wlreable Connector. IQ7 Microinverter Seres has IQ DC bulkhead for DC connection and Q-DCC-2 bulkhead adapter cable for MC4 connection. UL has <br />evaluated the MC4 connector for intermatability with Staubli MC4 connectors, whose cable coupler models are'PV-KST4/...-UR, PV-KBT4/..: UR PV-KBT4- <br />EV02/.. -UR, and PV-KST4-EV02/.. -UR . <br />NOTE The installer must check the manufacturing date of the products to ensure that the installation date is within one year of the manufactured date of <br />the products. Contact your local distributor to validate the date code. <br />PREPARATION D) Ensure that you have the following items <br />A) Install the Enphase Installer App and open it to login <br />to your Enphase account. With this app, you can scan a <br />microinverter serial numbers and connect to the IQ Gate ' <br />way to track system installation progress. To download, - <br />go to enphase cnm/installea= or scan the QR code. <br />B) Refer to the following table and check PV module <br />electrical compatibility at <br />enohase.com/errus/support/module-compatibility. <br />Modal <br />Dc mrxrctar <br />PV nwdub* cdl mud <br />IQ7-6o-2-US <br />Staubli MC4 <br />Pair with 60�11/120-halfcell modules <br />IQ7PIus-72-2-US <br />Staubh MC4 <br />Pair with 60cell/120­half-cell, 66-cell/132- <br />half-cell. w 72cell/144-half-cell <br />IQ7A-72-2-US <br />Staubli MC4 <br />Pair with 60cell/120-half-cell,66-oe11/132- <br />halfcell, a 72-cell/144half-cell <br />IQ7X-96-2-US <br />Staubli MC4 <br />Par only with 96od1 modules <br />' Enphase IQ Series Microinverters are compatible with bifaciaI PV modules if <br />thetemperabre-aqusted electrical parameters (maximum power, voltage, aril <br />current) ofthe modules, considering the front side electrical parameters (i.e., 0% <br />back side rein), are within the allowable rr croinverter input parameters range. <br />C) In addition to the Enphase microinverters, PV modules, and racking, <br />you will need the following Enphase items: <br />• IQ Gateway (model ENWQ-AM1-240) communications gateway or <br />IQ Combiner (check ennha� m for models): Tomonnor solar production. <br />• Tie wraps or cable clips (Q-CUP-1 00) <br />• IQ Sealing Caps (0-SEAL-10): For any unused connectors on the IQ Cable <br />• IQTerminator (Q-TERM-1%One required atthe end of eachAC cable <br />segment <br />• IQ Disconnect Tod (Q-DISC-10) <br />10 Cable <br />Cable model <br />Cornector <br />PV module orientation <br />Conrxsctors <br />apadng* <br />per box <br />AC junction box. <br />• Tools: Screwdrivers, wire cutter, voltmeter, torque wrench, sockets, and <br />wrenches for mounting hardware. <br />E) Protect your system with lightning and surge suppression devices- it <br />is also important to have insurance that protects against lightning and <br />electrical surges. <br />F) Plan your AC branch circuits to meet the following limits for the <br />maximum number of microinverters per branch when protected with a <br />20 A over -current protection device (OCPD). <br />Maximum* nurrdw of IQ Mivoimersers per AC branch circuit - angle -phase <br />240 V <br />IQ7 <br />IQ7+ <br />IQ7A IQ7X <br />16 <br />13 <br />11 12 <br />208 V <br />IQ7 <br />IQ7+ <br />IQ7A IQ7X <br />13 <br />11 <br />11 10 <br />* Limits may vary. Refer to the local requirements to define the number of <br />microinverters per branch in your area. <br />G ) Size the AC wire gauge to account for voltage rise- Select the wire <br />size based on the distance from the beginning of the IQ Cable to the <br />breaker in the load center. Design for a voltage nse of less than 2% for <br />these sections. Fordetails, referto the Voltage Rise-Fechnical Brief at <br />enphasecom/support <br />Best practice: Center -feed the branch circuit to minimize voltage rise in <br />a fully -populated branch. <br />III I1111111111111111111111111111111111111 I I I11 <br />140-00196-04 <br />CONTRACTOR <br />Approved <br />FOR PERMIT ISSUAN <br />r.
