Abb Ge KXTASORB Shunt Opening Release 24-30V Ac Dc

Product Description

The ABB GE KXTASORB is a shunt opening release designed for use with XT1 through XT4 series molded case circuit breakers. It operates on 24 to 30 volts AC or DC and provides remote trip capability by releasing the breaker mechanism when voltage is applied to the coil. Electricians and panel builders use this accessory to integrate circuit breakers into automated control systems, fire alarm circuits, or emergency power-off schemes where a breaker must open on command from a remote signal source.

This shunt opening release is suited for industrial and commercial electrical installations where remote tripping of a molded case circuit breaker is required. It mounts internally to compatible XT-series breakers and receives a control signal from a building management system, safety relay, or emergency shutdown circuit. The KXTASORB is appropriate for both new panel builds and retrofit applications where remote trip functionality is being added to an existing breaker.
