Additional Shunt Trip (MX2) or Undervoltage Trip (MN)
This function opens the circuit breaker via an electrical order.
It is made up of:
•
Shunt trip (MX2, second MX) or,
•
Undervoltage trip (MN)
— Instantaneous trip
— Fixed undervoltage trip (time delayed) or,
— Adjustable undervoltage trip (time delayed)
As shown in the wiring diagram for the remote tripping function below, the delay unit (installed outside
the circuit breaker) may be disabled by an emergency off button to obtain non-delayed opening of the
circuit breaker.
When energized, the shunt trip (MX1 or MX2) instantaneously opens the circuit breaker.
The undervoltage trip (MN) instantaneously opens the circuit breaker when its supply voltage drops to
a value between 35% and 70% of its rated voltage.
If the undervoltage trip is not energized, it is impossible to close the circuit breaker, either manually or
electrically. An attempt to close the circuit breaker produces no movement of the main contacts.
Closing is allowed when the supply voltage of the undervoltage trip reaches 85% of rated voltage.
