Manually operated circuit breakers may be equipped
with an MX shunt release, an MN undervoltage release
or a delayed undervoltage release (MN + delay unit).
Electrically operated circuit breakers are equipped as
standard with a remote-operating mechanism to
remotely open or close the circuit breaker. An MX shunt
release or an MN undervoltage release (instantaneous
or delayed) may be added.
MX voltage release.
Remote tripping
This function opens the circuit breaker via an electrical order. It is made up of:
a shunt release (2
b
nd
MX)
or an undervoltage release MN
b
or a delayed undervoltage release MN + delay unit.
b
These releases (2nd MX or MN) cannot be operated by the communication bus.
The delay unit, installed outside the circuit breaker, may be disabled by an
emergency OFF button to obtain instantaneous opening of the circuit breaker.

When energised, the 2

MX voltage release instantaneously opens the circuit
breaker. A continuous supply of power to the 2
nd
MX locks the circuit breaker in the
OFF position.

Instantaneous voltage releases MN
The MN release instantaneously opens the circuit breaker when its supply voltage
drops to a value between 35 % and 70 % of its rated voltage. If there is no supply on
the release, it is impossible to close the circuit breaker, either manually or electrically.
Any attempt to close the circuit breaker has no effect on the main contacts. Circuit
breaker closing is enabled again when the supply voltage of the release returns to
85 % of its rated value.

MN delay units
To eliminate circuit breaker nuisance tripping during short voltage dips, operation of
the MN release can be delayed. This function is achieved by adding an external
delay unit in the MN voltage-release circuit. Two versions are available, adjustable
and non-adjustable.
