Schneider Electric MX+OF Shunt Trip Release 230-415V AC 110-130V DC

The Schneider Electric MX+OF shunt trip release is a high-quality modular accessory engineered for the remote tripping of circuit breakers. This device is designed to provide reliable control within electrical protection systems, ensuring that power can be disconnected safely and efficiently when required. By integrating both a shunt trip function and an auxiliary contact, it allows for both the remote operation of the breaker and the monitoring of its status, making it an essential component for maintaining safety and operational oversight in complex electrical setups.

Advantages

This shunt trip release offers significant benefits for industrial and commercial electrical installations by enabling remote control over circuit protection devices. The inclusion of an integrated auxiliary contact provides real-time feedback on the status of the circuit breaker, which is crucial for automated monitoring systems. Its robust design ensures consistent performance across a wide range of operating voltages, contributing to the overall reliability and safety of the electrical infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Remote tripping of circuit breakers in industrial power distribution
• Commercial electrical panel management and safety systems
• Automated electrical protection and monitoring setups
• Emergency shutdown procedures in electrical installations

When it may not be suitable

This device is specifically designed for compatibility with certain Schneider Electric circuit breakers and may not be suitable for use with equipment from other manufacturers. It is intended for professional electrical installations and should not be used in applications where the voltage requirements fall outside the specified 230-415V AC or 110-130V DC ranges.

Key specifications

• Operating voltage range: 230-415V AC and 110-130V DC
• Functionality: Shunt trip with integrated auxiliary contact
• Application: Remote circuit breaker control and status monitoring
• Compatibility: Modular design for Schneider Electric circuit breakers

How to use

The device should be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with the manufacturer's technical documentation. It is mounted directly onto the compatible circuit breaker. Once installed, the shunt trip terminal is connected to the control circuit, allowing for remote activation. The auxiliary contact terminals should be wired to the monitoring or signaling system to provide status updates on the breaker position.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your specific circuit breaker model
• Ensure the control voltage matches your system requirements
• Confirm that installation is performed by a certified electrician
• Check available space within the electrical enclosure for modular accessories

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected before attempting to install or service the shunt trip release to prevent electrical hazards. Regularly test the remote tripping function during scheduled maintenance to ensure continued operational readiness.
