Why Choose the ABB S203MC20-1 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB S203MC20-1, also identified as S203M-C20, is a premium three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. As part of the trusted ABB System pro M compact S200M series, it delivers dependable protection for residential, commercial and industrial electrical systems.

The circuit breaker incorporates both a delayed thermal tripping mechanism for overload protection and an electromechanical tripping mechanism for rapid short-circuit interruption. Its C-curve tripping characteristic makes it ideal for general-purpose distribution circuits, lighting installations, HVAC equipment, control panels and small motors with moderate inrush currents.

With a rated current of 20 A, a three-pole configuration and a rated short-circuit capacity of 10 kA at 230/400 V AC, the S203MC20-1 provides reliable protection for three-phase electrical circuits. Its compact DIN rail mounted design enables straightforward installation inside distribution boards, switchboards and industrial control panels.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable overload and short-circuit protection for three-phase circuits.
  • 20 A rated current for commercial and industrial applications.
  • C-curve tripping characteristic for circuits with moderate inrush currents.
  • 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.
  • Current-limiting design helps reduce fault energy.
  • Compact DIN rail mounting simplifies installation and maintenance.

Key Features

  • ABB System pro M compact S200M series.
  • Three-pole miniature circuit breaker.
  • 20 A rated current.
  • C tripping characteristic.
