Circuit Breaker Under Voltage Release – How Does It Work?

Under voltage release.

An under voltage release is an optional device installed in a circuit breaker that automatically triggers a power trip when the power falls below a preset level, usually between 70 and 35 percent of the UV rating. The circuit breaker does not power it. Instead, it receives its power from an alternative source, such as a battery. It was initially designed for use in coal mines but can now be found in any field employing heavy industry.

How it works

An  under voltage release device  consists of a solenoid magnet with a moving armature fixed to a spring-loaded latch. This latch restrains a spring-biased plunger, which when released, makes contact with the breaker trip bar to trip the breaker.

As long as the voltage connected to the solenoid magnet remains normal, the magnetic force is strong enough to overcome the spring force and keep the trip bar from releasing. But once the voltage cuts off or falls too far below the preset level, the spring force overcomes the magnetic force. This force unlatches the plunger, which then trips the power.

When the circuit breaker contacts are open, a mechanical reset leaver, powered by a central contact arm, holds the solenoid magnet in a sealed-in position. Once power is restored, the magnet reenergizes and holds the plunger in its position allowing the circuit breaker to be reset and turned back on. If the power has not been restored to the solenoid coil and someone tries to reset the breaker, it will only trip again.

It can be mounted on either the left or right pole and installed next to the operating system of a circuit breaker case. Although attached to the trip unit, the spring-loaded release extends through a knockout in the trip unit case. When installed, it won’t interfere with the standard tripping action of a circuit breaker when it experiences a power surge.

The under-voltage release is available for both AC and DC usage with several different voltage ratings to choose. Connections for a UVR come in four different forms. The standard is pigtail leads (18 inches long minimum), exiting the rear of the base directly behind the UVR. These leads are color coded for identification.

Other configurations available include a terminal block mounted on the same side of the base as the accessory. Another has leads exiting the same side of the base as the accessory. The fourth version has leads coming out on the opposite side of the accessory.

Difference between Shunt Trips

A similar appliance that can be combined with a UVR in a circuit breaker is called a  Shunt Trip . It has a similar design and function to a UVR, but is instead activated when there is a power outage. Remote control can enable it, but the solenoid coil only carries a temporary charge and is not rated for continuous use.

Eaton’s Under-Voltage Releases

Although UVR’s are not required by law in most cases, they are still recommended. When sensitive equipment is in use, an under-voltage, such as in brownouts, can cause data loss or fry the entire system. The other danger is one of safety; some industrial equipment can be a safety concern if the power dips below its required level.

Eaton’s under-voltage releases are designed to provide the protection needed for electrical systems with a compact design that is easy to install. They have both terminal magnetic and electronic magnetic units available, as well as a host of other accessories.

Eaton has been working in the industry for many years and continues to produce reliable electrical appliances for both commercial and residential use. Their high level of quality control and commitment to safety make Eaton one of the best brands in electronic devices.

Trump to make stop first campaign stop in Minnesota next week

Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Minnesota next week for a state GOP fundraiser.

Trump will be the keynote speaker at the Minnesota GOP's annual Lincoln Reagan dinner on Friday, May 17, Chairman David Hann wrote in a press release on Monday.

Donald Trump trial live updates: Judge threatens Trump with jail time for gag order violations

Earlier this month during court proceedings for his hush money trial, Trump asked off May 17 to attend his son Barron's high school graduation.

In March, just one day before Super Tuesday, Trump falsely claimed that he won the state. Prior to the 2020 election, he said if he lost Minnesota, he would not come back. Despite the 77-year-old losing by a seven-point margin, signs point to the state possibly being in play this November.

Prep for the polls: See who is running for president and compare where they stand on key issues in our Voter Guide

This will be Trump's first visit to the state since 2020.

  5. Circuit Breaker Under Voltage Release

    An under voltage release is an optional device installed in a circuit breaker that automatically triggers a power trip when the power falls below a preset level, usually between 70 and 35 percent of the UV rating. The circuit breaker does not power it. Instead, it receives its power from an alternative source, such as a battery.

  6. Troubleshooting

    Supply voltage to the MN undervoltage trip release is too low or subject to significant variations. Check the power supply for the release (for example, a supply powering motors with high power ratings may be unstable). If so, connect the release to a clean or stable supply. Supply voltage to an MX shunt trip release applied unintentionally
