I am looking for a code section that discusses the height of a shunt trip. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Re: Shunt Trip

As Templdl said, shunt trips are normally part of the OCPD, and if this were the case, could possibly (not necessarily) be covered under 404.8

Re: Shunt Trip

First read the intoduction to 404.1 Then look at 404.8. Dont know for sure why roger says possibly. A shunt trip breaker is both a switchi9ng device and a circuit breaker. Bet if you dont follow 404.8 and mount it at 7 feet it gets tagged. Anyway just my humble opinion
 
Re: Shunt Trip

Joe, I have done commercial kitchens where the Shunt trip breaker would fall under 240.10, thus not need to meet the requirements of 404.8

Re: Shunt Trip

Roger I thought the intent of that section was where supplemental ocp was installed inside equipment and thus not readily accesibleno?
 
Re: Shunt Trip

As the plot thickens.....as noted by DanB's post he never gave any indication as to what the application was and where it was located.
