Eaton Power Defense Shunt Trip Accessory, 110-130 Vac/125 Vdc, Screw Terminal

The Eaton Power Defense Shunt Trip Accessory is a molded case circuit breaker accessory engineered for use with Eaton's Power Defense PD2 Global series breakers, Frame J-K. This shunt trip device is rated 110-130 V/125 Vdc and terminates via screw terminal connections, allowing electricians to wire remote-trip control directly into the breaker for fast, reliable disconnection. Built to RoHS compliance standards, this accessory supports code-conscious commercial and industrial installations where remote or emergency circuit interruption is required.

Eaton PDG2XST130ACDCT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can a Square D GJL shunt trip be used in place of the Eaton PDG2XST130ACDC shunt trip?
No. Shunt trips are frame-specific accessories, not interchangeable parts. The Eaton PDG2XST130ACDCS/T shunt trip is built for Eaton Power Defense PD2 Global molded case breakers in Frame J-K and rated 110-130 Vac/125 Vdc with screw terminal wiring. The Square D GJL shunt trip belongs to the Square D GJL series and is rated 480VAC at 13mA, so it mounts in a Square D GJL-frame breaker and draws a different coil voltage. Match the shunt trip to the breaker brand and frame already in the panel.
2) My control circuit is 480V - is the Eaton Power Defense shunt trip the right coil?
Not for a 480V control source. The Eaton Power Defense PDG2XST130ACDCS/T shunt trip carries a 110-130 Vac/125 Vdc coil rating, so it expects a 120V class control circuit or 125 Vdc from a battery or control bus. A 480VAC shunt trip such as the Square D GJL unit, rated 480VAC at 13mA, is the type built for a line-voltage control source, though it fits Square D GJL series breakers rather than Eaton Power Defense. If your breaker is a PD2 Global Frame J-K, derive a 120V control feed through a control transformer rather than changing the accessory.
3) How do the control wires land on this shunt trip - screw terminals or flying leads?
Screw terminal connections. You land the control conductors directly on the accessory rather than splicing pigtails, which keeps panel wiring tidy and lets you re-terminate in the field if the control scheme changes.
4) What does a shunt trip accessory actually do on a molded case breaker?
It gives you remote tripping. Energize the coil from a remote contact - an E-stop, fire alarm relay, or emergency disconnect - and the breaker trips open immediately. It is not a protective element on its own; overcurrent protection still comes from the breaker's trip unit. Typical uses are emergency shutdown circuits, panelboard and switchgear safety interlocks, and remote disconnect in commercial and industrial distribution.
5) Can I add this shunt trip to a Power Defense breaker already installed in a panel, or does it have to be factory fitted?
It is a field-installable accessory intended for Power Defense PD2 Global retrofits and upgrades as well as new builds, so an existing Frame J-K breaker can be fitted rather than replaced. De-energize the breaker before opening the accessory pocket.
6) What is the difference between the Eaton Power Defense shunt trip and the Square D GJL shunt trip?
They are the same class of device - a coil that trips its host breaker on a remote signal - but they are built for different breaker platforms and different control voltages. The Eaton unit is part of the Power Defense series, fits PD2 Global Frame J-K breakers, terminates on screw terminals, is rated 110-130 Vac/125 Vdc, and is RoHS compliant. The Square D unit is part of the GJL series and is rated 480VAC at 13mA. Selection follows the breaker already installed: an Eaton Power Defense breaker takes the Eaton accessory, a Square D GJL breaker takes the GJL accessory.
7) For a facility standardizing on one shunt trip across all panels, which way should we go?
Standardize on the breaker platform first, because the shunt trip follows it. If the panels are Eaton Power Defense PD2 Global, the Frame J-K shunt trip rated 110-130 Vac/125 Vdc with screw terminals covers those breakers and is RoHS compliant for procurement specs that call for it. Panels built on Square D GJL breakers take the GJL-series shunt trip instead, which is rated 480VAC. Mixed-brand facilities will carry both; there is no single accessory that serves both breaker lines.
8) Is this Eaton shunt trip RoHS compliant for a spec that requires it?
Yes, the Power Defense shunt trip accessory is built to RoHS compliance, which covers the restricted-substance requirement that shows up on a lot of institutional and government submittals.
