Overview

The WEG BD DWB800-1000E15 is a high-quality Shunt Release accessory designed to enhance the functionality and safety of WEG DWB series circuit breakers. This essential component allows for remote tripping of the circuit breaker when energized by a voltage signal, providing a critical safety mechanism for industrial control systems and power distribution applications. Engineered by WEG, a globally recognized leader in electrical equipment manufacturing, the BD DWB800-1000E15 ensures reliable performance and integrates seamlessly with compatible DWB frame sizes. The primary function of the BD Shunt Release is to facilitate the automatic disconnection of electrical power under specific conditions, thereby protecting sensitive equipment and personnel from damage or injury. When a voltage pulse or maintained signal is applied to the shunt release, it triggers the circuit breaker to trip to its open position. This capability is invaluable in scenarios requiring immediate power interruption, such as emergency stop systems, remote control operations, or integration with other protective devices. The shunt release operates effectively within a voltage range of 70% to 110% of its rated voltage (0.70 x Un < Ue < 1.1 x Un), offering a robust operational window. Key features of the WEG BD DWB800-1000E15 include its integrated terminal blocks, which are designed to accommodate wire sizes from 20 to 16 AWG (0.5 to 1.5mm²), with a recommended tightening torque of 6.9 lb.in (0.8 N.m.). This ensures secure and reliable electrical connections. Furthermore, the shunt release incorporates a device that maintains its unenergized state after the tripping pulse has been executed, preventing unintended continuous tripping. Following an operation of the BD release, the circuit breaker must be manually reset before it can be closed again, ensuring a deliberate and controlled re-energization process. Applications for the BD DWB800-1000E15 are widespread across various industrial sectors. It is particularly crucial in: * **Motor Control Centers (MCCs):** For remote shutdown of motor circuits in case of faults or emergency. * **Distribution Panels:** Enabling remote disconnection of power to specific sections of a facility. * **Automated Systems:** Integrating with PLCs and control logic for automated fault response. * **Safety Interlocks:** Working in conjunction with safety switches and emergency stop buttons to ensure fail-safe operation. When selecting internal accessories for WEG DWB circuit breakers, it's important to consider the frame size and the maximum allowable combinations. The BD DWB800-1000E15 is compatible with DWB100, DWB250, DWB400, and DWB600 frame sizes, though specific installation positions and combinations with other accessories like auxiliary contacts (BC) or alarm contacts (AL) should be verified against WEG's technical documentation. The 'E15' in the catalog number signifies the 220-250V ac/dc voltage rating, a common requirement in many industrial power systems. Choosing WEG for your circuit protection needs means investing in reliability, durability, and advanced technology. Their commitment to quality and innovation ensures that components like the BD DWB800-1000E15 meet the stringent demands of modern industrial environments. This shunt trip release is not just an accessory; it's a vital component for enhancing the safety and operational efficiency of your electrical infrastructure.
