Figure 1: Layout of auxiliary contacts in Enpower, Terminals for connecting RSD are indicated in red

Each Enphase Storage system with IQ8 PV requires the presence of a rapid shutdown (RSD) switch. Rapid shut down switch is needed to disconnect

all PV panels, battery and generator systems in the building/home to ensure the safety of maintenance technicians. When the RSD switch is engaged,

the Enphase storage system will be shutdown and the home is connected to the grid.
