Product Name:

Schneider LV429434 – Standard Motor Mechanism Module (MT100/160)

1. Overview:

The LV429434 is a standard motor mechanism module designed for remote electrical operation of ComPacT NSX100 and NSX160 molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs). It allows automatic opening and closing of the circuit breaker using external electrical control signals rather than manual operation.

This module operates with 220–240V AC (50/60 Hz) or 208–277V AC (60 Hz) input power.

2. Key Specifications:

3. Functionality:

• Remote Operation:
  Enables automated control of the breaker (ON/OFF) via PLC, pushbuttons, or remote systems.

• Motorized Mechanism:
  Uses a small internal motor to physically rotate the breaker mechanism in response to control signals.

• Control Logic Integration:
  Perfect for integration into systems requiring remote breaker control – e.g., energy management, automatic transfer systems, industrial automation.

• Manual Override Capable:
  Even with the motor mechanism installed, the breaker can still be operated manually using a rotary handle in case of power loss or emergencies.

4. Applications:

• Industrial Automation:
  Automates breaker operation in machines or production lines.

• Energy Management Systems:
  Used for load shedding, demand response, or automated power switching.

• Remote Substations or Panels:
  Where physical access is limited, and remote breaker operation is required.

• Critical Infrastructure:
  For backup power systems, data centers, or process industries where fast, automated breaker control is essential.

5. Installation & Operation:

• Direct Mounting on MCCB:
  Installed directly onto the ComPacT NSX100 or NSX160 breaker.

• Power Supply Required:
  Needs connection to AC control voltage (220–240V or 208–277V, depending on the region).

• Control Signals:
  Works with simple ON/OFF electrical signals via control relays, PLCs, or switches.

• Compatible with Auxiliary Accessories:
  Can be used alongside shunt trips, undervoltage releases, and auxiliary contacts.

6. Summary:

The Schneider LV429434 is a motor mechanism module for ComPacT NSX100/160 MCCBs, allowing remote electrical operation (open/close) using 220–240V or 208–277V AC. It enhances automation, safety, and flexibility in power systems, especially in industrial and remote-controlled environments, while still supporting manual override when needed.
