Working Mechanism

  • These shunt trips open a shunt trip coil circuit when a specified current level exceeds, which then trips the breaker and opens the circuit, protecting the electrical system from damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a shunt trip breaker and a standard circuit breaker?

The main difference between a shunt trip breaker and a standard circuit breaker is that a shunt trip breaker has a separate trip unit connected to the circuit breaker through shunt trip coils, thereby allowing for remote tripping of the breaker for safety or maintenance purposes.

What type of electrical circuits are compatible with these shunt trips?

Shunt trips are typically used with medium and high-voltage electrical circuits.

How do you ensure the proper working of a shunt trip?

You can test a shunt trip by sending a test current through the circuit and observing if the breaker trips as it should.

Can a shunt trip be manually triggered?

Yes, most shunt trip units have a manual trip mechanism for intentionally opening the circuit breaker for maintenance or testing purposes.
