Compliance
CA Rule 21 (UL 1741-SA), UL 62109-1, UL1741/IEEE1547,
FCC Part 15 Class B, ICES-0003 Class B, CAN/CSA-C22.2
NO. 107.1-01
This product is UL Listed as PV Rapid Shut Down Equipment
and conforms with NEC 2014, NEC 2017, and NEC 2020
section 690.12 and C22.1-2018 Rule 64-218 Rapid Shutdown
of PV Systems, for AC and DC conductors, when installed
according to
manufacturer’s instructions.
Grounding
The DC circuit meets the requirements for ungrounded PV
arrays in NEC. Ground fault protection (GFP) is integrated into
the class II double insulated microinverter
Monitoring
Enphase Installer Platform and Enphase App monitoring
options. Both options require an Enphase IQ Gateway
Communication
Power line communication (PLC)
(1) No enforced DC/AC ratio. See the compatibility calculator at
