Why Choose the ABB S302P-C32 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S302P-C32 (SKU: 2CDS382001R0324) is a high-performance 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect industrial electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. Part of the ABB System pro M Compact S300P series, it combines dependable circuit protection with a compact modular format suitable for professional switchboards, distribution boards and control panels.
The S302P-C32 incorporates a delayed thermal tripping mechanism for overload protection and an electromagnetic mechanism for rapid short-circuit interruption. This combination helps protect cables, machinery and connected equipment while reducing the risk of overheating, electrical damage and unplanned downtime.
Featuring a 32 A rated current, Type C tripping characteristic, 2-pole configuration and an ABB-specified 20 kA AC breaking capacity, the S302P-C32 is suitable for circuits with moderate starting currents, including lighting systems, commercial distribution circuits, machinery and general industrial equipment.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Electrical Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect a circuit when excessive current is detected. The thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions, while the electromagnetic mechanism reacts rapidly to severe short-circuit currents. Together, these mechanisms help prevent conductor overheating, insulation damage and equipment failure.
The Type C tripping characteristic allows the S302P-C32 to accommodate moderate temporary inrush currents without unnecessary tripping. This makes it a practical choice for commercial and industrial circuits supplying lighting, socket outlets, control equipment and machinery with modest starting currents.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels and switchgear.
- Commercial electrical distribution systems.
- Lighting and socket outlet circuits.
- Machine building and OEM equipment.
- Automation and process-control installations.
- Equipment with moderate starting currents.
