Why Choose the ABB S203C20 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB S203C20 is a premium 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) engineered to provide reliable protection against overloads and short circuits in commercial, industrial and residential electrical installations. As part of the trusted ABB System pro M Compact S200 series, it delivers dependable circuit protection, robust construction and long-term performance for modern electrical distribution systems.

Featuring a C curve tripping characteristic, the S203C20 is designed for circuits with moderate inrush currents, making it ideal for motors, pumps, compressors, HVAC equipment and general industrial power distribution. Its thermal-magnetic operating mechanism provides precise overload protection together with rapid short-circuit interruption to safeguard connected equipment.

With a rated current of 20 A, a 3-pole configuration and a 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the ABB S203C20 is suitable for three-phase electrical systems operating at 230/400 V AC. The compact DIN rail mounting design allows straightforward installation within distribution boards, switchgear and industrial control panels.
