The Chint S9-1 is a compact and reliable shunt release accessory designed to remotely trip compatible Chint miniature circuit breakers and RCBOs when a control voltage is applied. It is used where electrical circuits need to be opened from a remote switch, control relay, emergency stop circuit or automation system.
Designed for use with compatible Chint NB1, NBH8, NB1L and NBH8LE series protective devices, the S9-1 mounts to the left-hand side of the breaker using a dedicated pin connection. This makes it a practical accessory for distribution boards, control panels and switchboards requiring remote disconnection functionality.
With a rated control voltage suitable for AC 230/400 V applications, the S9-1 provides dependable remote tripping performance while maintaining a compact DIN rail accessory format. It is ideal for safety circuits, building services panels and industrial electrical systems where fast remote circuit isolation is required.

Remote Circuit Opening for Safer Electrical Control
Shunt releases such as the Chint S9-1 allow compatible circuit breakers or RCBOs to be tripped remotely. When the correct control voltage is applied, the accessory mechanically operates the protective device, opening the circuit without requiring manual operation at the distribution board.
This makes the S9-1 especially useful in emergency stop systems, fire alarm interfaces, building management systems and industrial control panels where remote disconnection improves safety, automation and response times.
Typical Applications
Remote tripping of compatible MCBs and RCBOs.
Emergency stop and safety isolation circuits.
Building management systems.
Fire alarm interface circuits.
Industrial control panels and machine panels.
Commercial distribution boards and switchboards.
