The ABB DSE203NMB40A10 is a compact 3P+N electronic residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (eRCBO) designed to safeguard three-phase electrical circuits against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults. As part of the ABB DSE203N M series, it combines overcurrent and residual current protection into a single modular device, helping reduce enclosure space while simplifying installation and maintenance.
Designed for commercial, industrial and OEM applications, the DSE203NMB40A10 features an unswitched neutral, electronic residual current monitoring and a compact DIN rail mounted design. It provides dedicated protection for individual three-phase circuits, helping minimise disruption by disconnecting only the affected circuit during a fault.
With a 40 A rated current, Type B tripping characteristic, 10 mA Type A residual current sensitivity and a 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, this RCBO is ideal for protecting resistive loads and other circuits with relatively low inrush currents where enhanced protection against electric shock is required.
Key Advantages
Combined overload, short-circuit and earth leakage protection in one compact device.
40 A rated current for higher-load three-phase electrical circuits.
Type B tripping characteristic suitable for low inrush current applications.
10 mA Type A residual current protection provides enhanced personnel safety.
10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity for dependable fault interruption.
Compact three-module DIN rail design saves valuable panel space.
Suitable for commercial, industrial and machine-building installations.

Reliable Protection for Three-Phase Electrical Systems
The ABB DSE203NMB40A10 continuously monitors electrical circuits for overloads, short circuits and earth leakage currents. If a fault occurs, the RCBO disconnects the affected circuit rapidly, helping protect equipment, reduce downtime and improve electrical safety.
Its Type B tripping characteristic is designed for circuits supplying resistive loads and equipment with relatively low starting currents. The integrated 10 mA Type A residual current protection detects both alternating current (AC) and pulsating DC leakage currents, making it suitable for many modern electrical installations containing electronic equipment.
