Why Choose the ABB S3C-A2L Shunt Trip?
The ABB S3C-A2L is a left-hand shunt trip release designed for remote opening of compatible ABB miniature circuit breakers. When the appropriate control voltage is applied to the release coil, the accessory mechanically trips the associated protective device, allowing electrical circuits to be disconnected remotely.
Designed for left-side mounting, the S3C-A2L operates across a wide control-voltage range of 110–415 V AC or 110–250 V DC. ABB specifies it for compatible S200, S200 MTR and S300P miniature circuit breakers, making it a practical accessory for remote shutdown, emergency switching and automation applications.
The S3C-A2L has a compact 17.4 mm width and uses screw terminals for straightforward control-circuit wiring. With a maximum release duration of less than 10 ms at rated voltage, it provides rapid remote actuation for suitable circuit protection assemblies.

Remote Circuit-Breaker Opening with a Shunt Trip
A shunt trip release allows a compatible protective device to be opened electrically from a remote location. Applying the specified voltage to the release coil causes the mechanism to trip the associated circuit breaker, making shunt trips useful in emergency-stop circuits, safety systems, process controls and remotely operated electrical installations.
The ABB S3C-A2L combines this remote-tripping function with a broad AC/DC control-voltage range and left-side mounting arrangement. Its compact modular construction enables the accessory to be integrated alongside compatible ABB MCBs without requiring a separate external tripping mechanism.
Typical Applications
- Remote circuit-breaker tripping.
- Emergency shutdown circuits.
- Industrial machinery control panels.
- Building-management and automation systems.
- Fire and safety-system interfaces.
- Process-control shutdown systems.
- Commercial and industrial electrical distribution boards.
- Compatible ABB S200, S200 MTR and S300P MCB installations.
