Circuiting Shunt Trip Breakers

Posted on May 15th, 2019. Last updated on June 14th, 2023.

Q: Some of the breakers in my project have shunt trips. How can I show this on my panel schedule?

A: Use the Circuiting command to create a circuit with no breaker or load that represents the shunt trip.

In the Circuiting dialog box, select the next circuit down from your breaker. If the selected circuit is not a space/spare, press the Insert Circuit button to insert a space/spare and move the other loads down the panel.
Set Breaker Size to None.
In the Description field, enter a description for the shunt trip, such as “SHUNT TRIP”.

The shunt trip will be shown on your panel schedule.

Awesome, share it:

Thanks!
