Table 1
-
1 lists application and electrical operating rating
data for the shunt trip.
For this publication, the term circuit breaker shall also
include molded case switch and motor circuit protector.
Depending on the model ordered, connectionsfor the
shunt trip are in one of fourforms. The standard wiring
configuration is pigtail leads exiting the rear of the base
directly behind the shunt trip. Optional configurations
include a terminalblock mounted on the same side of the
base as the accessory, leads exitingthe side of the base
where the accessory is mounted, and leads exiting the
rear of the base on the side opposite the accessory.The
18
-
inch long pigtail leads are color coded for identifica
-
tion; identification labels are provided for pigtailleads and
terminalblock points. Forallowable locations of all acces
-
sories, refer to FrameBook 29
-
104.

This instruction leaflet (I.L.)givesdetailed procedures for
installing the shunt trip.
2. INSTALLATION
Note:The shunttrip can be field
-
installed
inLD,HLD,andLDCcircuit breakers
under UL File E64983.
The shunttrip canbe field
-
installed in LW, HLW,and
LWCcircuit breakers.
The shunttrip is listed for factory installation under
UL File E7819.
For sealed circuit breakers (LDB),Underwriters Lab
-
oratories Inc. UL 489requiresthat internal accesso
-
riesbe installed at the factory. The shunttrip is listed
for factory installation under UL File E7819.
Wherelocalcodesandstandards permit and UL list
-
ing is not required, internal accessories can be field
installed in sealed circuit breakers.In this case, UL
listing becomes invalidand the labelshould be
removed.
Beforeattemptingto install the shunt trip, check that
thecatalog number is correctas ordered and that the
rating of the accessorysatisfiesjob requirements.

(adjustable thermal) trip unit; and, in the left pole only of a
circuit breaker with an LS (electronic) trip unit. A shunt
trip must be installed in the circuit breaker before the cir
