Wiring a shunt trip branch device into an NF panelboard? Square D built the EJB34030SA as a Type EJB E-Frame unit at 30 A, three pole, 480Y/277 V AC, and it bolts to the interior like the rest of the E-Frame line. Budget four pole spaces instead of three, because the factory shunt trip module rides in the extra space and cannot be added later in the field.
Terminations are aluminum lugs sized for AWG 12 to 6 aluminum or AWG 14 to 6 copper, torqued to 30.09 lbf-in. Feed the shunt coil from a 120 V AC control source inside the 110-130 V AC window. Breaking capacity runs 65 kA on 480Y/277 V AC and 100 kA on 120/240 V AC, and the trip flag tells you which device let go before you start pulling covers.
Common Applications
Three-phase branch protection inside Square D NF lighting panelboards
Tying a panel circuit to a fire alarm, emergency stop, or remote trip signal
Metal halide and high pressure sodium lighting runs, covered by the HID rating
Rooftop units and other HACR rated equipment loads
Key Features
Shunt trip built in at the factory: SA means a 120 V AC coil, 110-130 V AC control range, no field installation.
Four spaces required: The accessory pushes a three-pole device out to four spaces.
Thermal-magnetic protection: 875 A at the trip unit with 270 A of holding current.
Trip flag on the face: Local signalling for faster troubleshooting at the panel.

FAQ
What voltage does the shunt coil need? Square D specifies 120 V AC for the SA shunt trip, control range 110-130 V AC.
Can the shunt trip be added later? No. Square D supplies E-Frame electrical accessories factory-installed only.
How much room does it take? Four pole spaces, one more than a three-pole E-Frame device without an accessory.
What are the lug torque and wire ranges? Torque to 30.09 lbf-in with AWG 12 to 6 aluminum or AWG 14 to 6 copper.
Which panelboards is it built for? Square D lists NF panelboards as the product destination.
