Elevator Shunt Trip Testing in Washington State

What Is Elevator Shunt Trip Testing?

If a fire breaks out in your elevator shaft or the machine room for your facility, your building’s fire security system should disconnect the power to the elevator. This prevents any hazards if someone tries to use the elevator when there’s a fire present, or the elevator becomes damaged and stops working.

The shunt trip itself is a feature of your circuit breaker that automatically kills the power to the circuit after the sprinklers for your fire alarm system turn on. This particular sequence minimizes arc flashes and electrocution during firefighting efforts.

For example, let’s say an elevator catches on fire and its electrical wiring is damaged. If the fire alarm system’s sprinklers douse the area with water, it can conduct electricity that can be fatal when someone comes into contact with it.

By having an automatic shunt trip after the sprinklers activate, fire personnel can safely work around the area without risk of electrocution. Shunt trips are a requirement for commercial code compliance.

Elevator Shunt Trip Testing FAQs

If your shunt trip system doesn’t work correctly, it can expose firefighters and other first responders to live electricity. This problem requires immediate repair service, as it’s a violation of code compliance. Building owners must take the elevator out of service or red tag it until the necessary repairs are complete and professionals have retested the unit.

A Class 1 electrician or a fire or life safety contractor can conduct a fire alarm shunt trip test. Both of these professionals understand how to correctly perform an annual elevator safety inspection. They are also aware of what’s necessary for commercial electrical compliance in WA.
