Why Choose the Lovato P5X14E024UL Undervoltage Trip Release?
The Lovato P5X14E024UL is a 24 V AC/DC undervoltage trip release designed specifically for compatible UL-compliant Lovato P5ME moulded case circuit breakers. As part of the Lovato P5 MCCB accessory range, it provides automatic circuit breaker release when the monitored control supply falls below the specified voltage threshold.
The P5X14E024UL operates from either a 24 V AC or 24 V DC supply and has a release voltage range of 35–70% of Us. Its operating voltage range is 85–110% of Us, helping ensure that the associated circuit breaker can only remain operational when sufficient control voltage is available.
Designed for integration with UL-certified P5ME MCCBs, the P5X14E024UL features snap mounting and screw-terminal connections. With an average opening time of 50 ms, low holding consumption of 0.64 VA and cULus certification, it provides a compact undervoltage protection solution for industrial machinery, switchboards and power distribution systems.

UL-Compliant Undervoltage Protection for P5ME Circuit Breakers
An undervoltage trip release automatically opens its associated circuit breaker when the control supply falls below an acceptable level. The Lovato P5X14E024UL has a specified release range of 35–70% of Us, helping disconnect the protected circuit when a significant loss of control voltage occurs.
The release also requires an adequate control supply for normal operation, with an operating range of 85–110% of Us. This functionality is particularly useful in industrial machinery and control systems where continued operation or unintended restart following a loss of supply must be prevented. The UL-compliant P5X14E024UL combines this functionality with 24 V AC/DC operation, compact snap mounting and straightforward screw-terminal wiring.
Typical Applications
- UL-compliant industrial machinery control systems.
- UL-certified electrical distribution panels and switchboards.
- Undervoltage protection for compatible P5ME MCCBs.
- Automatic circuit breaker release following control voltage loss.
- Machinery circuits requiring prevention of unintended restart.
- Industrial automation and power distribution installations using 24 V AC/DC control supplies.
