Why Choose the ABB S3C-A1 Shunt Trip?
The ABB S3C-A1 is a versatile shunt opening release (SOR) designed to provide remote electrical tripping of compatible ABB modular protection devices. Applying the specified control voltage to the release causes the associated protective device to open, making the S3C-A1 suitable for remote shutdown, emergency switching and automated control applications.
The S3C-A1 operates across a broad 12–110 V AC/DC rated control-voltage range and is designed for right-side mounting. ABB specifies compatibility across multiple modular protection categories, including suitable miniature circuit breakers, residual current devices, RCBOs and switch disconnectors.
Its compact 17.4 mm width, screw-terminal connections and rapid release operation make the S3C-A1 practical for professional distribution and control panels. The extended 12–110 V AC/DC range also simplifies product selection where different low-voltage control supplies are used across installations.

Remote Opening for Modular Circuit Protection
A shunt trip release enables a compatible protective device to be opened electrically from a remote control circuit. When the specified voltage is applied to the shunt release coil, the mechanism trips the associated device, allowing power to be disconnected without manual operation at the distribution board.
The ABB S3C-A1 extends this functionality across compatible MCBs, RCCBs, RCBOs and switch disconnectors. Its broad 12–110 V AC/DC control range makes it suitable for numerous signalling and automation architectures, including emergency-stop systems, machinery controls and building-management applications.
Typical Applications
- Remote circuit-breaker tripping.
- Emergency shutdown and safety circuits.
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Building-management and automation systems.
- Fire and safety-system interfaces.
- Remote disconnection of modular protection devices.
- Commercial and industrial electrical distribution boards.
- Compatible ABB MCB, RCCB, RCBO and switch-disconnector installations.
