Lovato P5X16A400UL is a UL-version 380–500 V AC shunt trip release for compatible P5M moulded case circuit breakers, enabling remote electrical tripping in industrial control and power-distribution systems.
£86.40
The Lovato P5X16A400UL is a shunt trip release designed for compatible Lovato P5M moulded case circuit breakers. It enables the associated MCCB to be opened electrically by a remote control signal, providing an effective way to integrate circuit-breaker tripping into industrial control, emergency shutdown and power-distribution systems.
Installed as an internal accessory within the compatible P5M circuit breaker, the P5X16A400UL acts directly on the breaker operating mechanism when its trip coil is energised. This allows remote circuit interruption independently of the MCCB's normal overload and short-circuit protective operation.
The P5X16A400UL is designed for a 380–500 V AC control supply and is the UL version of this P5M shunt trip accessory. It provides a coordinated solution for compatible P5M installations requiring remotely initiated breaker opening in industrial switchboards, machinery and electrical distribution equipment.
A shunt trip release provides an electrically controlled method of opening a circuit breaker. When the specified control voltage is applied to the release, it operates the breaker mechanism and disconnects the protected circuit. This allows an MCCB to respond to commands from remote pushbuttons, control systems, interlocks or emergency shutdown circuits.
The Lovato P5X16A400UL integrates this functionality directly into compatible P5M moulded case circuit breakers. Its 380–500 V AC control range and UL configuration make it suitable for compatible industrial equipment and switchgear requiring high-voltage AC remote-trip control.

The P5X16A400UL is a shunt trip release used to electrically trip a compatible Lovato P5M moulded case circuit breaker from a remote control signal.
The Lovato P5X16A400UL is designed for a 380–500 V AC control supply.
The UL suffix identifies the UL version of this Lovato P5M shunt trip accessory for compatible circuit-breaker applications requiring UL-approved equipment.
When the appropriate control voltage is applied, the shunt trip is energised and acts on the circuit-breaker mechanism to open the associated P5M MCCB.
No. A shunt trip operates when its trip coil is energised, whereas an undervoltage release operates when its control voltage falls below the required level.
Lovato P5 circuit breaker accessories provide panel builders, electrical engineers and industrial equipment manufacturers with coordinated control and tripping functions for dependable integration into low-voltage power distribution systems.
