Product Information

Full details

This Schneider Electric A9A26948 shunt trip is designed for electricians and system integrators seeking an added layer of protection for electrical distribution systems. Its key benefit is the immediate tripping of residual circuit breakers during power faults, offering enhanced safety for people and equipment against hazards like short circuits and overloads. A potential caveat is its specific voltage requirement of 12-24V AC/DC, which must be matched to the system's power supply.

FAQs

What voltage does the Schneider Electric A9A26948 shunt trip require?

The shunt trip requires a voltage supply between 12 and 24V AC/DC.

What types of electrical hazards does this shunt trip help protect against?

It helps protect against short circuits, earth leakages, and current overloads by enabling immediate tripping of the circuit breaker.

Can this shunt trip be used with any circuit breaker?

No, it is designed for compatibility with specific Schneider Electric devices, including ARA, ic60 MCB, IDPN Vigi, and other compatible Acti 9 series components.

What is the current rating of this shunt trip?

The rated operating current is 6A, and the actuation current is between 0.1A and 6A.

Is this device suitable for home use?

While it enhances safety, it is typically integrated into more complex distribution systems. For residential use, consult with a qualified electrician to determine suitability and ensure proper installation.

What does 'Green Premium Product' mean?

It signifies that the product meets certain environmental standards and compliance requirements, such as REACH and RoHS, contributing to sustainability.

How is the shunt trip activated?

The shunt trip is activated by a voltage signal on its control terminals when the supply voltage is applied.

Troubleshooting

Shunt trip does not trip the circuit breaker.

Verify that the voltage supplied to the shunt trip is within the 12-24V AC/DC range and that the connection is secure. Ensure the shunt trip is correctly installed and compatible with the circuit breaker.

Circuit breaker trips intermittently without apparent fault.

Check for voltage fluctuations in the 12-24V AC/DC supply. Ensure wiring is not loose or damaged, which could cause false triggers. Confirm environmental conditions are within the device's operating limits.

Device does not reset after tripping.

Ensure the fault condition that caused the trip has been resolved. Verify the circuit breaker mechanism is functioning correctly and is not mechanically obstructed.
