The ABB DSE203NMC20A30 is a high-performance three-phase plus neutral electronic residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (eRCBO) designed to provide comprehensive protection against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults. Combining multiple protective functions into a single compact device helps reduce panel space while improving electrical safety and simplifying installation.
As part of the advanced ABB DSE203N electronic RCBO series, this device is ideal for commercial, industrial and infrastructure applications requiring reliable individual circuit protection. Its electronic residual current detection, robust construction and compact design make it suitable for modern distribution boards and electrical installations.
With a rated current of 20 A, a Type C tripping characteristic and 30 mA Type A residual current protection, the DSE203NMC20A30 is suitable for circuits supplying motors, pumps, HVAC equipment, lighting, automation systems and other electrical loads with moderate inrush currents. The device features an unswitched neutral and flying leads for straightforward installation in chassis distribution boards.
