hmm harry i really dont know much about this breaker thing

all i know is that u can use a microcontroller to controll it using a shunt trip

and i was told there are some breakers in the lab but i am not sure if they have shunt trip so i will check their data sheet, but assuming they dont have, how do i build one for it?

what the department has is two pair of breakers together, one for the nuetral and one for the live.

You really need to provide a bit of detail if you want any meaningful answers.

As a general comment, the ranges of miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) and Moulded-Case Circuit Breakers offered by most major manufacturers have shunt trips available as add-on options, but you will need to check with the manufacturers for more specific information.
