Why Choose the Lovato P5X16E230UL Shunt Trip?
The Lovato P5X16E230UL is a shunt trip release for compatible Lovato P5M moulded case circuit breakers, designed to provide electrically initiated remote tripping. It allows the associated MCCB to be opened by an external control signal, supporting remote isolation, emergency shutdown and automated power-distribution applications.
The P5X16E230UL is rated for a 220–240 V AC or 250 V DC control supply. When the appropriate control voltage is applied, the release acts on the circuit-breaker mechanism to initiate opening independently of the breaker's normal overload and short-circuit protective functions.
As the UL version of this Lovato P5M shunt trip accessory, the P5X16E230UL is intended for compatible P5M circuit-breaker installations where UL-oriented equipment is required. Its internal installation provides a compact, coordinated method of adding remote-trip functionality to industrial switchboards and machinery power systems.

Reliable Remote Tripping for P5M Circuit Breakers
A shunt trip allows a moulded case circuit breaker to be opened electrically without requiring manual operation at the breaker. Applying the specified control voltage energises the release and operates the circuit-breaker mechanism, enabling disconnection to be initiated from a remote pushbutton, control relay, safety system or other supervisory device.
The Lovato P5X16E230UL integrates this functionality directly into compatible P5M circuit breakers. Its dual 220–240 V AC / 250 V DC control rating provides flexibility for industrial control schemes, while the UL configuration supports compatible installations designed around UL circuit-breaker requirements.
Typical Applications
- Remote tripping of compatible Lovato P5M moulded case circuit breakers.
- Industrial emergency shutdown systems.
- Main and sub-distribution switchboards.
- Machinery power isolation circuits.
- Motor control centres and automation panels.
- Electrical interlocking and supervisory control systems.
- OEM switchgear and industrial electrical panel assemblies.
