I need to install a 100amp 3 pole breaker with shunt trip accessory in its own enclosure in a xray room that will serve the xray equipment, the breaker is being feed from the main panel. I need an e-stop button to engage the shunt trip coil to trip the breaker incase of an emergency, this shunt trip accessory is rated 120v (same as the breaker.) My question is, can I supply 120v from 1 of the legs on the load side of the breaker to a n/o e-stop which will energize the shunt trip coil and trip the breaker when the button is engaged? The breaker being used is Siemens ED43B100L and the shunt trip accessory is S01ED60. I don't want to have to run a circuit from the main panel for the shunt trip reason being is dedicated circuit breaker for the shunt trip could be manually turned off at the main panel and would disable the emergency power off and won't trip the shunt trip breaker incase of an emergency.
