Why Choose the Lovato P5X14A440UL Undervoltage Trip?
The Lovato P5X14A440UL is an undervoltage trip accessory designed for compatible Lovato P5M moulded case circuit breakers. This UL version provides automatic breaker tripping when its control supply falls below the required operating level, supporting fail-safe control in industrial power distribution and machinery applications.
Installed as an internal accessory within the compatible circuit breaker, the P5X14A440UL acts directly on the MCCB operating mechanism. If adequate control voltage is unavailable, the undervoltage release prevents normal breaker operation and causes the breaker to open when the voltage drops sufficiently, helping prevent unintended equipment operation following a supply failure.
With a rated control voltage of 440–480 V AC, the P5X14A440UL is intended for P5M installations using corresponding industrial control voltages. Its UL version makes it suitable for compatible P5M applications where North American certification requirements apply.

Reliable Undervoltage Protection for P5M Circuit Breakers
An undervoltage release provides a fail-safe means of opening a circuit breaker when its control voltage becomes insufficient. This can help prevent machinery or electrical equipment from remaining connected during serious undervoltage conditions and ensures that the breaker cannot remain normally operational without the required release voltage.
The Lovato P5X14A440UL integrates this function directly into compatible P5M moulded case circuit breakers. Its 440–480 V AC control rating and UL configuration make it particularly suited to industrial switchboards, machinery and distribution equipment designed around corresponding P5M circuit breakers.
Typical Applications
- Compatible Lovato P5M moulded case circuit breaker installations.
- Automatic breaker opening following control-voltage loss.
- Industrial main and sub-distribution switchboards.
- Machinery power distribution and control systems.
- Motor control centres and industrial electrical panels.
- North American industrial equipment and switchgear applications.
- OEM switchboard and panel-building systems.
