'Shunt' is an archaic term, meaning 'in parallel with'. So a 'shunt coil' is connected 'in parallel' with... With what, of course, depends upon what sort of device you are talking about. For example the field coil of a d.c. shunt-connected motor has its field winding connected in parallel ('shunt') with the supply.

Difference between shunt coil and tripping coil?
a shunt coil needs external supply & tripping coil gets supply from itself.
What are the functions of shunt trip coil in ACB?
shunt trip coil used to trip the breaker automatically or manually.
Why shunt resistance used in ammeter and why is it connected in parallel?
An ammeter's coil requires very little current for full-scale deflection (fsd). So, to measure a current above its fsd value, most of that current must be allowed to bypass the coil. This is achieved by placing a very low value shunt resistance in parallel with the coil ('shunt' is an archaic word for 'parallel').
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 install shunt trip breaker?
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.

In what two ways can the rotation of a shunt connected dc motor be reversed?
DC shunt motor can be reversed by changing the polarity of either the armature coil or the field coil.
What voltage feeds the coil on a shunt trip breaker?
220V
What equipment is installed to counter a lagging power factor?
shunt capacitors
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.

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.
Why use shunt release in circuit breaker?
A secondary shunt releases (extra trip coil) is used forelectrical tripping of the circuit breaker by protectiverelays or manual control devices when more than onetrip coil is required.
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.
What are to methods of revesing a shunt motor?
Swap round the connections to the field coil or the armature, but not both.
