It's intentionally designed to run a control circuit to it to electrically short the breaker or fault it.
From a source other than the bus that feeds the breaker?It's intentionally designed to run a control circuit to it to electrically short the breaker or fault it.
It depends. Really any source.From a source other than the bus that feeds the breaker?
No, It has an auxiliary coil called a shunt trip (based on what I see) you apply voltage to the coli the coil operates the trip mechanism to open the circuit breakers. Commonly referred to as a shunt trip.It's intentionally designed to run a control circuit to it to electrically short the breaker or fault it.
Yeah! The control circuit controls the coil. Hence the control circuit.No, It has an auxiliary coil called a shunt trip (based on what I see) you apply voltage to the coli the coil operates the trip mechanism to open the circuit breakers. Commonly referred to as a shunt trip.
You said fault or short and it AIN't that, and that is a very important distinction.Yeah! The control circuit controls the coil. Hence the control circuit.
Huh?? Electrically short or fault the breaker?Chrisibew440 said:It's intentionally designed to run a control circuit to it to electrically short the breaker or fault it.
Ok. My terminology is different from yours. It's intentionally tripped however you want to say it.You said fault or short and it AIN't that, and that is a very important distinction.
Think out of the box dude. Your using electricity to " electrically open that breaker"Huh?? Electrically short or fault the breaker?
You keep posting the craziest things, what scares me is I think you are serious and not just another troll.
Unfortunately like many in the trade, just misinformed or misstated.Huh?? Electrically short or fault the breaker?

Not only were you wrong you refuse to accept the fact you were wrong.Think out of the box dude. Your using electricity to " electrically open that breaker"
Shunt trip?
I was never wrong I just express it differently. I've always called it an intentional fault. True! It is not a fault but the breaker opens as if it were in a fault condition.Not only were you wrong you refuse to accept the fact you were wrong.
Here is the difference
Thanks for telling me stuff I know bro.Not only were you wrong you refuse to accept the fact you were wrong.
Here is the difference
A shunt trip draw 1-20 amps
A short could be (assuming a 200 amp CB) 1200-2000 amps
A fault could be over 100,000 amps (depending on the many variables)
Again, not true.I was never wrong I just express it differently. I've always called it an intentional fault. True! It is not a fault but the breaker opens as if it were in a fault condition.
I am not here to argue with you, but YOU WERE NOT JUST WRONG, you were dead wrong, not even in the ball park.I was never wrong I just express it differently. I've always called it an intentional fault. True! It is not a fault but the breaker opens as if it were in a fault condition.
