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

The Eaton Z-LHASA/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. By enabling circuit disconnection via an external signal, it enhances the safety and control capabilities of industrial and commercial electrical installations.

Advantages

This shunt trip release offers seamless integration into existing electrical panels, providing a robust mechanism for emergency or automated power disconnection. Its wide operating voltage range ensures versatility across various electrical setups, reducing the need for multiple specialized components. The modular design facilitates easy installation and maintenance, ensuring that electrical systems remain compliant with safety standards while maintaining operational efficiency.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical distribution systems
• Commercial building power management
• Emergency shutdown circuits
• Remote control of circuit breakers

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 in environments where the control signal voltage falls outside the specified 110-415V AC range, as this may result in failure to trigger or damage to the internal coil.

Key specifications

• Operating voltage: 110-415V AC
• Function: Remote shunt trip release
• Compatibility: Modular circuit breaker systems
• Application: Industrial and commercial electrical installations

How to use

The Eaton Z-LHASA/230 is installed directly onto the compatible circuit breaker unit. Once mounted, the control terminals are wired to an external signal source, such as an emergency stop button or a control relay. When the external signal is activated, the shunt trip release receives the voltage and mechanically triggers the circuit breaker to the off position, effectively cutting power to the protected circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your circuit breaker model is compatible with this specific accessory.
• Ensure your control signal source provides the required AC voltage.
• Confirm that the installation environment meets the necessary safety and space requirements for modular components.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the main power supply is disconnected before attempting to install or wire the shunt trip release. Testing the remote trip function after installation is recommended to confirm proper integration with your control system.
