A shunt trip wiring diagram specifies the electrical connections and components required to release a circuit breaker (CB) when a fault occurs outside of its protective zone. The shunt trip release coil, depicted in the diagram, is connected in parallel (shunt) with the CB trip coil, enabling the CB to be tripped remotely using an external signal. This… Read More »

Wiring a shunt trip circuit breaker is an electrical procedure that involves connecting a shunt trip device to a circuit breaker. The shunt trip device is designed to trip the circuit breaker, opening the electrical circuit, in the event of a fault or overload. For example, in a commercial building, a shunt trip circuit breaker can be used… Read More »
