Lovato P5X16A400 is a 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.
£75.60
The Lovato P5X16A400 is a shunt trip release designed for compatible Lovato P5M moulded case circuit breakers. It enables the associated circuit breaker to be opened electrically from a remote control signal, providing a practical method of integrating MCCB tripping into industrial control, emergency shutdown and power-distribution systems.
As part of the Lovato P5 circuit breaker accessory range, the P5X16A400 is installed internally in the compatible breaker and acts directly on its tripping mechanism when the release coil is energised. This allows circuit interruption to be initiated independently of the breaker's normal overload and short-circuit protection functions.
The P5X16A400 is designed for a 380–500 V AC control supply, making it suitable for industrial installations using corresponding control voltages. Its dedicated P5M compatibility provides a coordinated solution for remotely operated circuit-breaker tripping in switchboards, machinery and electrical distribution equipment.
A shunt trip release allows a moulded case circuit breaker to be opened by applying an external electrical command to the trip coil. This enables the circuit breaker to form part of a wider control or safety scheme, allowing remote shutdown from control systems, emergency circuits or other supervisory equipment.
The Lovato P5X16A400 integrates this functionality directly into compatible P5M circuit breakers. Its 380–500 V AC control range makes it suitable for industrial systems using higher AC control voltages while maintaining a compact installation within the circuit breaker.

The P5X16A400 is a shunt trip release used to electrically trip a compatible Lovato P5M moulded case circuit breaker from a remote control signal.
The Lovato P5X16A400 is designed for a 380–500 V AC control supply.
When the appropriate electrical control voltage is applied to the shunt trip, the release acts on the circuit-breaker mechanism and opens the associated MCCB.
No. The P5X16A400 is a shunt trip, which trips the breaker when its coil receives the appropriate control signal; an undervoltage release operates in response to insufficient control voltage.
It is typically used in industrial switchboards, machinery control systems, emergency shutdown circuits and power-distribution panels requiring remote MCCB tripping.
Lovato P5 circuit breaker accessories provide panel builders, electrical engineers and industrial equipment manufacturers with coordinated remote control, signalling and protection functions for dependable low-voltage power distribution systems.
