Eaton Z-ASA/230 Shunt Trip Release 110-415V AC

The Eaton Z-ASA/230 shunt trip release is a specialized modular accessory engineered for the remote tripping of circuit breakers. Designed to operate within a broad voltage range of 110-415V AC, this device provides a reliable solution for managing electrical distribution systems. It facilitates the safe and efficient disconnection of circuits, supporting both manual and automated control requirements in various electrical setups.

Advantages

This shunt trip release offers significant flexibility by supporting a wide input voltage range, making it compatible with diverse electrical infrastructures. Its modular design ensures seamless integration with compatible circuit breakers, simplifying installation processes. By enabling remote operation, it enhances safety protocols, allowing operators to disconnect power from a distance without direct physical contact with the distribution board. The robust construction ensures consistent performance and long-term reliability in demanding industrial and residential environments.

Suitable for

• Remote emergency shutdown systems
• Automated circuit disconnection in control panels
• Integration with fire alarm or safety monitoring systems
• Manual remote tripping for maintenance or safety procedures

When it may not be suitable

This device is specifically designed for AC voltage applications and is not compatible with DC power systems. It should not be used with circuit breakers that are not explicitly designed to accommodate this specific shunt trip accessory, as improper pairing may result in mechanical failure or electrical hazards.

Key specifications

• Operating voltage range: 110-415V AC
• Function: Remote shunt trip release
• Compatibility: Modular circuit breaker accessory
• Mounting type: DIN rail or internal breaker mounting

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local safety regulations. The device is mounted onto the side of the compatible circuit breaker. Once mechanically coupled, the control wires are connected to the terminal points of the shunt trip. When a control signal is sent within the specified voltage range, the internal solenoid activates, mechanically triggering the circuit breaker to the off position.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of your existing circuit breaker model with this accessory
• Ensure the control signal voltage matches the 110-415V AC range
• Confirm that the installation space within the distribution board is sufficient for the additional module

Usage recommendations

Always test the remote tripping function after installation to ensure the mechanical linkage is correctly aligned and the circuit breaker operates smoothly. Ensure that the control circuit is protected by an appropriate fuse or miniature circuit breaker to prevent damage to the shunt trip coil.
