Why Choose the ABB S203MT-K40 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S203MT-K40 is a robust 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for dependable overload and short circuit protection in railway, traction and demanding industrial applications. As part of the specialised ABB S200MT miniature circuit breaker series, it provides compact, reliable circuit protection for installations where performance, safety and long-term durability are essential.
This circuit breaker combines delayed thermal overload protection with electromagnetic short circuit protection. Its K characteristic tripping curve is designed for circuits with higher inrush currents, making it suitable for inductive loads such as motors, transformers, solenoids and auxiliary railway equipment.
With a 40 A rated current, 3-pole configuration and 10 kA breaking capacity, the ABB S203MT-K40 provides effective protection for three-phase electrical systems. Its DIN rail mounted design enables straightforward installation in rolling stock electrical systems, industrial control panels, distribution boards and machine cabinets.
Key Advantages
Specialist 3-pole miniature circuit breaker for railway and industrial installations.
40 A rated current suitable for three-phase circuit protection.
K characteristic tripping curve for circuits with higher inrush currents.
10 kA short circuit breaking capacity for dependable fault protection.
Designed for traction and rolling stock electrical systems.
DIN rail mounting for fast installation inside electrical panels.
Thermal overload and electromagnetic short circuit protection.

Reliable Circuit Protection for Inductive Three-Phase Systems
The ABB S200MT range is engineered for railway and traction environments where reliable low voltage protection is critical. These miniature circuit breakers help protect conductors, control equipment and downstream devices from damage caused by overloads and short circuits.
The K curve characteristic of the S203MT-K40 provides a higher instantaneous trip threshold than standard general-purpose curves. This makes it well suited to circuits where temporary start-up currents may occur, helping reduce nuisance tripping while maintaining effective protection under fault conditions.
Typical Applications
Railway rolling stock electrical systems.
Traction and transport control panels.
Three-phase industrial distribution boards.
Machine control panels.
Automation and auxiliary power circuits.
Motors, transformers and inductive loads.
