shunt trip coil used to trip the breaker automatically or manually.
This is a small electromagnet whose coil is in series with the relay contacts and whose contact is in parallel with them. The electromagnet is energized, closing its contacts in parallel with the relay contact as soon as the trip coil is energized, and drops out when the circuit breaker opens.
Usually the breaker's shunt trip coil is tied to a corresponding current transformer that is sized to the amperage that is allowed to be passed through the breaker. These types of breakers can also be connected into a distribution monitoring device. If the monitor detects a phase reversal or phase loss or voltage rise or drop the breakers shunt trip coil is remotely energized and isolates equipment down stream from the fault. Shunt trip coil circuits are also used as safety circuits where the situation calls for only one breaker to be energized at a time. If the second breaker is inadvertently closed, this would allow both breakers to be on, the second breaker's auxiliary contacts that are an internally part of that breaker will close the safety circuit and energize the shunt trip in the first breaker to causing it to open. So as you can see the two wires could be part of many wiring configurations depending on what situation calls for.
A shunt trip breaker is installed like any other molded case breaker. The only difference is that it has an internal tripping coil that is usually connected to a C.T. The breaker is usually mounted in a MCC cabinet The top of the breaker is bolted to the MCC bus bars and the bottom of the breaker is connected to the load. The load conductors pass through the C.T.'s which induces a current into the circuit to trip the tripping coil in the breaker.
The way to detect if a shunt trip breaker is malfunctioning is to manually trip the breaker. The shunt is usually wired through a auxiliary relay. Make sure that before you trip the breaker that the load can be shut off without taking a production line etc. off line. Trip the auxiliary relay using a test jumper to activate the relays coil. The breaker's handle will move to mid throw and the load will disconnect from the supply power. If the breaker trips then it is working properly. If the breaker does not trip trouble shoot the circuitry that is used to trip the breaker. Usual problem is an open circuit.

Transformer is HEART of the substation and Circuit Breaker is the LUNGS of the substation.At faulty condition, large amount of current will flow.so trip function is very important at that timeone coil is faulty means, another one coil will trip the connection to the healthy circuit.
The inductor symbol resembles a coil of wire of 3 to 5 turns.

Yes, but you need a power source, for the shunt trip coil voltage, in the circuit.
The trip coil has the whole circuit load amperage flowing through it. Thepurpose of the breaker is to only allow current up to its trip point. That is the only way that the breaker can sense if the current is within the limit rating. If the circuit load amperage becomes greater that the breaker rating it will trip. The trip coil that you refer to is a magnetic trip which senses the magnetic field that surrounds the wire. Breakers also have a thermal trip which senses a heat build up on the current flowing through it. If the breaker is in a high ambient temperature it will lower the rating on the breaker.
My understanding is that on most (if not all) differential relays, there are currents coming in from both sides of the operating coil. These currents should cancel out, or in reality, nearly cancel out. Therefore, the effective current in the operating coil is zero. When the net current in the operating coil is not zero, the relay trips. There are instances when you don't want the relay to trip though. Therefore, the operating coil works together with a restraint coil. (Well probably 2 restraint coils.) The relay will trip if the operating coil's current must exceed the restraint coil's current by a certain amount.
the C.B operation depends upon relay senses. in realy their is trip coil. when ever fault occurs then change in c.t occures[current varies] due to that secondary current in c.t changes then magnetising field of trip coil is varies and then relay contacts open then c.b contacts open..........this is the impotance of TRIP COIL
From everything that I have looked at QT is a private company. there is no ticker symbol, becasue it is not available to the public.
