Rapid Shutdown (RSD)

• RSD is provided by PV inverters or module-level devices
• Required by NEC 690 for firefighter safety
• Kora does not generate or bypass RSD signals


Kora’s Role

• Kora respects inverter shutdown states
• Does not interfere with PV rapid shutdown behavior
• Continues to isolate loads safely during emergencies


Fire Safety Best Practices

• Clearly label PV and battery systems
• Maintain required working clearances
• Ensure emergency responders can identify disconnects
