What is a Shunt Trip MX used for?
A Shunt Trip coil is used to remotely trip a circuit breaker and some switch disconnectors.
Schneider Electric uses the abbreviation MX or iMX for Shunt Trip coils.
A Shunt Trip coil has to have a voltage applied to it to trip the device.
An example of an application for a Shunt Trip would be for load shedding.
