LPS Series Shunt-Trip Disconnect Switch
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
Shunt-Trip Operation
The disconnecting means is a shunt-trip operated switch. The control power source for the shunt-trip operator is a 120 Vac
supply originating in the Littelfuse POWR-Switch LPS Series disconnect. Current to the shunt-trip device is switched by an
isolation relay, which is in turn controlled by the FACP.
The control signal may be either 24 Vdc from the FACP (option R2) or a “dry” contact closure in the FACP (option R1).
In the case of a “dry” contact closure, the sensing voltage is 120 VAC originating in the Littelfuse POWR-Switch
LPS Series disconnect.
CAUTION: When using the “dry” contact closure, option 1, DO NOT supply 120 Vac from the FACP as equipment
damage or personnel injury may occur.
A key test option (option K) is available to test the shunt-trip circuit.
Supervisory Indication
Additionally, an optional separate relay can be specified to monitor the 120 Vac control power source in the Littelfuse
POWR-Switch LPS Series disconnect. This relay (option FR) is used to provide supervisory indication of “Control Power
Available” as required by NFPA 72 Section 6.15.4.4.

Preventive Maintenance
• Periodically check torque on the wire compression screws in the power circuit. The chart included has the torque values for
the various models.
• Annual review of POWR-Switch is recommended. ABB has no specific maintenance recommendations. Otherwise, predictive
maintenance could be done by thermal-scan, either with an IR imager or a non-contact temperature sensor.
• Any unexpected temperature increase, not related to load variations or ambient temperature could signal a problem with
lug torque.
• Maximum temperature at any lug should never exceed 75 degrees C under any conditions.
• Clean and periodically dust product throughout the year.
Frequently Asked Questions
What UL listings does the Littelfuse
POWR-Switch have?
The POWR-Switch unit is UL-Listed to UL 98. The molded case switch used within
the POWR-Switch is UL-Listed to UL 489.
What codes and standards does the
Littelfuse POWR-Switch meet?

Please refer to Littelfuse product literature for
more details.
How does the Mechanical Auxiliary
Contact Option (Option A) work?
The “A” Option is a set of auxiliary contacts that are mechanically interlocked to the
main switch. These contacts are generally used for auxiliary power interface such
as battery lowering. The contacts are used to signal initiation of auxiliary power in
the event of power loss. The contact is a single pole, double throw (SPDT) contact.
It is important to note that these contacts differentiate between manually turned
off or shunted off (refer to the table below).

LPS Series Shunt-Trip Disconnect Switch
Does the instantaneous trip feature built
into the molded case switch create the
potential to strand passengers when used
on circuits with hydraulic elevators and
auxiliary battery lowering?
The shunt trip mechanism within the switch is utilized, not the instantaneous trip
feature of the switch. Even in the event of an instantaneous trip condition, the
alarm relay will respond the same as when the switch is shunted off. There is no
potential for stranding passengers when Littelfuse POWR-Switch units are installed
with the Mechanical Interlock Auxiliary Contact Option
(Option A, battery back-up feature).
During a power loss, will the state of the
switch change state?
The POWR-Switch will not change state. However, units installed with the
Mechanical Interlock Auxiliary Contact Option (Option A) will distinguish between
turned off and shunted off and send a signal accordingly to the fire alarm controller.
How does the POWR-Switch decide
when the elevator needs to be lowered?
The Littelfuse POWR-Switch does not make that decision. The POWR-Switch
provides a signaling means to the fire alarm controller. The fire alarm controller
makes all decisions regarding when and where the elevator is to be lowered.
Does the fire safety relay monitor the
voltage required by NFPA 72?
No, the fire safety relay option (Littelfuse option R1 or R2) does not monitor
voltage. Littelfuse offers both a fire safety relay and fire alarm voltage monitoring
relay options. The Littelfuse Fire Alarm Voltage Monitoring Relay (F1/F3 option)
does meet NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm Code) requiring control circuits to be
monitored for presence of voltage. The Littelfuse unit is wired to sense the voltage
available to initiate the shunt-trip. It will change state if a power loss occurs. It does
not rely on the shunt-trip itself.
Does the Littelfuse POWR-Switch
require any periodic maintenance?
No specific maintenance is required. However, like most electrical equipment, it
is always a good idea to periodically check wire connections for proper torque and
ensure fuse clips are clean and tight. Please refer to the Preventive Maintenance
section of this document for more details.
How do you hook up the dry contacts for
the battery back-up option?
This will depend on how the Mechanical Auxiliary Contact (Option A) will be
connected. The A Option will follow the ON/OFF of the switch when the handle is
in the off position. Terminals 8 & 9 will be used when following the NC contacts.
Terminals 9 &10 will be used when following the NO contacts.
Where do you land the power for the
shunt trip on the terminal strip?
Where does the fire alarm get
connected for monitoring the status of
the switch?
How do I connect to the fire alarm
voltage-monitoring relay?
800.TEC.FUSE | littelfuse.com
This will vary if using the R1 Option (120 VAC) or the R2 Option (24 Vdc). Terminals 1
& 3 will be used for the R1 Option. Terminal 3, 7, & 24 will be used for the R2 Option.
This will vary on which option is being utilized (A or B). Option A will use terminals
8, 9, & 10. Option B will use terminals 14, 15, & 16.
This is commonly referred to as the FR relay and is Littelfuse Option F1 or F3.
Terminals 11, 12, & 13 are used for this purpose.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If a POWR-Switch is ordered with a
wrong component, can the component
be changed in the field?
No. To comply with UL guidelines, product modifications can only be completed by
authorized factory personnel. Other modifications will void the Littelfuse UL listing.
Can the POWR-Switch be used as a
service entrance switch?
The Littelfuse POWR-Switch is UL-Listed per UL 98. Yes, it can be used as a service
entrance if properly labeled as such.
Can the POWR-Switch be fed in reverse
with the line from the bottom and load
out the top of the switch?
When connecting the POWR-Switch
to the fire alarm, what do you do
with the neutral?
Can the POWR-Switch be used in an
application with no fire alarm and can a
smoke detector be connected instead?
Does the FR Relay (Option F1 or F3)
change state during a power loss?
Is the operating handle of the
POWR-Switch lockable in the
“off” position only?
What enclosures are available for the
POWR-Switch?
Is a CPT always required in a
POWR-Switch?
No, the POWR-Switch will not properly function.
There is no need to tie into the neutral. POWR-Switch units equipped with a
Control Power Transformer (CPT) will supply 120 volts.
No, this is not in accordance with the fire code.
Yes, the FR relay will always change state. The FR relay is designed to monitor
voltage that is available for the shunt trip. This is a requirement of NFPA 72.
Yes, the handle can only be locked from the “off” position and can accommodate a
maximum of three padlocks.
All ratings of the POWR-Switch come standard with a UL (NEMA) type 1 enclosure.
Optional enclosures include UL (NEMA) type 3R, 4, and 12.
In most cases, a CPT will be required to supply the 120 Vac for shunt tripping.
How is the Littelfuse POWR-Switch
typically shipped and how much do
they weigh?
The form of shipment will depend on the number of units ordered. Large quantities
are typically shipped via truck and smaller quantities shipped via UPS. 30-100 amp
units weigh approximately 70 pounds and 200 amp units weigh around 85 pounds.
400 amp units weigh over 200 pounds and can only be shipped via truck.
What kind of fuses does Littelfuse
recommend?
JTD or JTD_ID fuses. The fuse holders installed in the panels are made to
accommodate this type fuse. These fuses afford good short circuit and motor load
protection. For fuse sizing see NEC Article 430.52 which says “in a nutshell” motor
branch circuit fuses of the time-delay type may be sized for up to 175% of the
motor full load amps.
What is the warranty for the LPS?
Under most circumstances, there is a one-year warranty. Please contact your local
Littelfuse Sales Representative if you have any questions or a unique situation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do I do if the door is stuck?
If the handle is in the ON position, pointing straight down
or at 270 degrees (i.e. south), there should be no problem
opening the door after switching it to the OFF position. If the
handle seems to be in the down position, yet slightly to the
right, it is a good indicator that the MCCB has been shunted.
(See picture). This is easily corrected
Step 1: The technician should place their left hand just to
the left of the handle with the handle between their
index finger and thumb. Then apply pressure with a
majority of body weight.
Step 2: T
urn the handle to the OFF position while
maintaining pressure on the door.
Step 3: T
urn the handle back to the ON position while
maintaining pressure on the door.
Step 4: T
urn the handle back to the OFF position, while
