MERLIN GERIN MX+0F 26948 Shunt Trip Release

The MERLIN GERIN MX+0F 26948 is a shunt trip release accessory designed for use with Merlin Gerin circuit breakers. It provides remote tripping capability, allowing the circuit breaker to be opened from a remote location by applying a voltage signal to the shunt trip coil. This accessory is essential for emergency shutdown systems, remote control applications, and safety interlock circuits where automatic or remote disconnection of power is required.

Remote Tripping Function

The MX+0F 26948 shunt trip release works by energizing a solenoid coil when a voltage signal is applied. The energized coil mechanically trips the circuit breaker, opening the contacts and disconnecting power to the protected circuit. This remote tripping capability is critical for applications where manual intervention is impractical or unsafe, such as emergency stop systems, remote control panels, and automated shutdown sequences. The device is typically used with Merlin Gerin Multi9 series circuit breakers.

Application Domains

The MX+0F 26948 is used in emergency shutdown systems for industrial machinery, remote control of electrical distribution in building automation, safety interlock circuits for hazardous area equipment, and industrial machinery protection requiring automatic power disconnect. It is also suitable for integration with fire alarm systems for automatic power shutdown.
