The Lovato P5X16D012UL is a 12 V DC shunt trip release designed specifically for compatible UL-compliant Lovato P5ME moulded case circuit breakers. It enables the associated MCCB to be opened electrically from a remote control signal, providing a convenient way to integrate circuit-breaker tripping into industrial machinery, automation and power-control systems.
Operating from a nominal 12 V DC supply, the P5X16D012UL has a specified operating voltage range of 70–110% of Us. Its average opening time is approximately 50 ms, allowing the compatible breaker to respond rapidly to an electrically initiated trip command.
The P5X16D012UL uses snap mounting and screw-terminal connections for straightforward integration with the appropriate breaker. With a low power consumption of 0.36 W, support for 0.5–1.5 mm² flexible conductors and UL compliance, it provides a compact remote-tripping solution for compatible P5ME installations.
A shunt trip release enables a moulded case circuit breaker to be opened by an external electrical command. When the appropriate 12 V DC control signal is applied to the Lovato P5X16D012UL within its specified 70–110% Us operating range, the release actuates the compatible P5ME breaker mechanism to initiate opening.
This functionality allows circuit-breaker disconnection to be incorporated into remote controls, emergency shutdown logic and automated power-management systems. With an average opening time of approximately 50 ms, low 0.36 W power consumption and integrated snap mounting, the P5X16D012UL provides a practical remote-tripping solution for UL-compliant P5ME installations.

The P5X16D012UL is a 12 V DC shunt trip release designed for compatible UL-certified Lovato P5ME moulded case circuit breakers, enabling electrically controlled remote opening of the breaker.
The P5X16D012UL has a rated supply voltage of 12 V DC.
Lovato specifies an operating voltage range of 70–110% of the rated supply voltage Us.
The P5X16D012UL has a specified average opening time of approximately 50 ms.
The P5X16D012UL has a specified power consumption of 0.36 W.
The P5X16D012UL uses snap mounting for integration with a compatible UL-certified Lovato P5ME moulded case circuit breaker.
The P5X16D012UL uses screw terminals operated with a PZ2 tool and accepts flexible conductors from 0.5 to 1.5 mm², equivalent to 20–16 AWG.
The P5X16D012UL is intended for UL-compliant P5ME MCCBs, while the P5X16D012 is the corresponding IEC-oriented accessory. Both provide a 12 V DC shunt-trip function, so the version matching the applicable breaker configuration should be selected.
Lovato P5 moulded case circuit breaker accessories provide panel builders, electrical engineers, machine builders and industrial automation professionals with integrated remote-tripping, signalling and control solutions for dependable low-voltage power-distribution systems.
