Why Choose the Lovato P5X16D012UL Shunt Trip Release?
The Lovato P5X16D012UL is a 12 V DC shunt trip release designed specifically for compatible UL-compliant Lovato P5ME moulded case circuit breakers. It enables the associated MCCB to be opened electrically from a remote control signal, providing a convenient way to integrate circuit-breaker tripping into industrial machinery, automation and power-control systems.
Operating from a nominal 12 V DC supply, the P5X16D012UL has a specified operating voltage range of 70–110% of Us. Its average opening time is approximately 50 ms, allowing the compatible breaker to respond rapidly to an electrically initiated trip command.
The P5X16D012UL uses snap mounting and screw-terminal connections for straightforward integration with the appropriate breaker. With a low power consumption of 0.36 W, support for 0.5–1.5 mm² flexible conductors and UL compliance, it provides a compact remote-tripping solution for compatible P5ME installations.

Remote Electrical Tripping for UL-Compliant P5ME Circuit Breakers
A shunt trip release enables a moulded case circuit breaker to be opened by an external electrical command. When the appropriate 12 V DC control signal is applied to the Lovato P5X16D012UL within its specified 70–110% Us operating range, the release actuates the compatible P5ME breaker mechanism to initiate opening.
This functionality allows circuit-breaker disconnection to be incorporated into remote controls, emergency shutdown logic and automated power-management systems. With an average opening time of approximately 50 ms, low 0.36 W power consumption and integrated snap mounting, the P5X16D012UL provides a practical remote-tripping solution for UL-compliant P5ME installations.
Typical Applications
- Remote tripping of UL-compliant P5ME MCCBs.
- Industrial machinery shutdown systems.
- Low-voltage electrical distribution panels.
- Machine and automation control systems.
- Emergency electrical disconnection circuits.
- PLC-controlled breaker tripping.
- OEM equipment using 12 V DC control circuits.
- Industrial power-management systems.
