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.
What else can I help you with?
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 hook up wire from ansul system to shunt trip breaker?
You would need to take the "input" wire for the shunt trip breaker to an electrical switch (not alarm initiating switch, which are DC voltage rated) within the Automan unit and connect to the "Common" connection and the "return", the wire to the actual shunt circuit of the breaker, from the "Normally Open" connection of the switch. When the unit activates, the switch will be placed into "Closed" position, therefore completing the circuit and activating the shunt coil.
Can a shunt trip breaker be tripped from to different emergency buttons?
Yes a shunt trip breaker can be activated manually.
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.
How do you wire a shunt trip breaker so you can test trip it?
There are per-engineered shunt trip solutions such as the Littelfuse LPSM that have a transformer that isolates the line voltage from the control voltage. You simply wire the N.O. contact on the float in the shunt trip isolated contacts.

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.
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 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.
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.
What voltage feeds the coil on a shunt trip breaker?
220V

If a shunt trip occurs does breaker go to off or trip position?
When a shunt trip occurs, the breaker typically goes to the "trip" position, which indicates that the circuit has been interrupted and the contacts are open. This allows for quick identification of the issue and isolation of the circuit for safety reasons.
