MX or MN voltage releases are used to trip the circuit breaker. They serve primarily for remote, emergency-off commands.
It is advised to test the system every six months.

MN undervoltage release
The MN release opens the circuit breaker when its supply voltage drops to a value below 35% of its rated voltage Un.
Undervoltage tripping, combined with an emergency-off button, provides fail-safe tripping.
The MN release is continuously supplied, i.e. if supply is interrupted:
Opening conditions
Circuit-breaker tripping by an MN release meets the requirements of standard IEC 60947-2.
Closing conditions
If there is no supply to the MN release, it is impossible to close the circuit breaker, either manually or electrically. Closing is ensured when the voltage supply to the release U u 0.85 x Un. Below this threshold, closing is not guaranteed.
MX shunt release
The MX release opens the circuit breaker via an impulse-type (u 20 ms) or maintained order.
Opening conditions
When the MX release is supplied, it automatically opens the circuit breaker. Opening is ensured for a voltage U u 0.7 x Un.
Circuit breaker control by MN or MX
When the circuit breaker has been tripped by an MN or MX release, it must be reset before it can be reclosed.
MN or MX tripping takes priority over manual closing.
In the presence of a standing trip order, closing of the contacts, even temporary, is not possible.
