WARNING:

  Before  installing  any  accessories,  turn  the 

breaker  OFF,  disconnect  it  from  all  voltage  sources,  and 
discharge the charging springs. 

The  Shunt  Trip  or  Shunt  Trip  with  Lockout  will  cause  the 
circuit  breaker  to  trip  when  the  control  voltage  is  greater 
than  55%  of  the  rated ac  value. Control power  to  the  Shunt 
Trip  must  be  removed  before  the  breaker  can  be  closed. 
Control  power  to  the  Shunt  Trip  with  Lockout  must  be 
removed  for  a  minimum  of  0.25  second  before  the  breaker 
can be closed.

Installation

The  Shunt  Trip  and  Shunt  Trip  with  Lockout  accessories, 
shown in Figure1, can be installed in 800-4000 ampere frame 
Power Break® II circuit breakers. These accessories allow the 
breaker to be tripped electrically from a  remote location. 
In addition to providing a trip signal to the  breaker, the  Shunt 
Trip accessories can be set up    to interact with other Power 
Break II accessories, when used with a MicroVersaTrip Plus or 
MicroVersaTripPM Trip Unit. DIP switches on  the  rear of   the 
breaker Trip Unit can configure the Shunt Trip accessories to 
activate a    Bell Alarm-Alarm Only accessory or    a  Bell   Alarm 
with  Lock  out  accessory  when  a  shunt  trip  occurs.  The 
Accessory Configuration section below describes how this can 
be done. If the breaker is equipped with a  Power+Trip Unit, it 
is configured so that only protection trips will  activate a Bell 
Alarm 

­ 

Alarm Only or  Bell Alarm with Lockout.

The catalog numbers for the Shunt Trip and Shunt Trip with 
Lockout for 480 and 600Vac are listed  in Table 1. Voltage and 
current  ratings  in  Table1  are  given    at    the  input  of    the 
transformer. The voltage and current ratings of  the input to 
the  accessory are equal to that of  the 120Vac version of  the 
accessory.  Table 2 Iists these ratings.
