How much does a shunt trip breaker cost?
The cost of a shunt trip breaker depends on the amperage and number of poles the circuit connected to it needs. The cost of the shunt trip over a conventional breaker is substantially more.
What are the functions of shunt trip coil in ACB?
shunt trip coil used to trip the breaker automatically or manually.
Does a shunt trip breaker trip with loss of control power?
Yes, a shunt trip breaker will trip if there is a loss of control power. The shunt trip mechanism requires power to function, and without it, the breaker cannot receive the signal to trip. However, in the event of a fault or overload condition, the breaker will still trip due to its internal protective mechanisms. It's essential to ensure that control power is maintained for proper operation of the shunt trip feature.
Can you show me shunt trip diagram?
A shunt trip diagram typically illustrates the electrical connections and components involved in a shunt trip circuit, which is used to remotely trip a circuit breaker. It includes elements like the circuit breaker, shunt trip coil, power source, and control switch. The diagram shows how the control switch activates the shunt trip coil, causing the breaker to open and interrupt the circuit. For a specific diagram, it's best to refer to technical manuals or manufacturer specifications.
How do you detect if a shunt trip breaker is malfunctioning?
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.
What is shunt coil?
A shunt-trip coil is a built-in component of a shunt-trip circuit breaker. It is a magnetic coil that can be energized externally to make the breaker trip to shut off the flow of current. For instance, fire sprinklers are sometimes required in the top of elevator shafts in case of a fire in the shaft. If the sprinklers were to spray water on the electric controls in the elevator cab, people could be hurt or killed, either from electrocution or from the elevator malfunctioning. In these cases, a shunt-trip breaker is installed in the circuit feeding the elevator controls, and the fire alarm system sends a trip signal if it detects waterflow from the sprinkler system. This trips the breaker and removes power from the elevator cab. Once tripped, a shunt-trip breaker requires a person to reset it manually.
What is a shunt-trip breaker?
It works just like a normal circuit breaker with one additional function. A shunt-trip breaker also has a built-in magnetic coil that can be energized externally to trip the breaker. For instance, fire sprinklers are sometimes required in the top of elevator shafts in case of a fire in the shaft. If the sprinklers were to spray water on the electric controls in the elevator cab, people could be hurt or killed, either from electrocution or from the elevator malfunctioning. In these cases, a shunt-trip breaker is installed in the circuit feeding the elevator controls, and the fire alarm system sends a trip signal if it detects waterflow from the sprinkler system. This trips the breaker and removes power from the elevator cab. Once tripped, shunt-trip breakers require a person to manually reset them.
Can a shunt trip breaker be tripped from to different emergency buttons?
Yes a shunt trip breaker can be activated manually.
What is an elevator shunt trip test?
An elevator shunt trip test checks the heat detector placement. It also monitors power and wiring diagram of an elevator.
How do you connect 480volt and coil to fire alarm system?
I can only assume that you are attempting to connect 480VAC coil from a elevator to a fire system in order to shunt the elevator. In order to do this you will need a shunt trip breaker rated for this use.

Do you need a shunt trip in the elevator disconnect switch if you do not have a sprinkler head in the elevator?
A shunt trip is typically required in elevator disconnect switches to ensure that the elevator power shuts off automatically in the event of a fire, regardless of whether a sprinkler head is present. If the elevator does not have a sprinkler system, it may still be advisable to implement a shunt trip for safety compliance and to protect against fire hazards. Local codes and regulations should be consulted to determine the specific requirements for your situation.
Does a shunt trip breaker trip with loss of control power?
Yes, a shunt trip breaker will trip if there is a loss of control power. The shunt trip mechanism requires power to function, and without it, the breaker cannot receive the signal to trip. However, in the event of a fault or overload condition, the breaker will still trip due to its internal protective mechanisms. It's essential to ensure that control power is maintained for proper operation of the shunt trip feature.
Does a shunt trip breaker work from a dry set of contacts?
Yes, but you need a power source, for the shunt trip coil voltage, in the circuit.
When a shunt trip breaker trips does the voltage remain on?
No, it does not have voltage in trip position.
How do you reset a shunt trip breaker?
A shunt trip breaker is reset the same way as an ordinary breaker, move the handle to the full off position and then to the full on position. First check the tripping circuit, sometimes a latch relay is used to hold the breaker shunt trip coil in the trip position. If this is the case then reset the latch relay first.
