The ABB DSE203NMB40A100 is a high-performance 3P+N electronic residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (eRCBO), engineered to provide reliable protection against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults in three-phase electrical installations. As part of the trusted ABB DSE203N M series, this compact protective device integrates multiple protective functions into a single unit, making it ideal for commercial, industrial and OEM applications.
Designed to maximise electrical safety and installation efficiency, the DSE203NMB40A100 continuously monitors residual current whilst protecting circuits against overload and short-circuit conditions. By combining overcurrent and residual current protection within one device, it reduces panel space requirements, simplifies installation and improves overall system reliability.
Featuring a 40 A Type B trip characteristic, 100 mA Type A residual current sensitivity and a 10 kA breaking capacity, the ABB DSE203NMB40A100 is ideally suited for protecting three-phase distribution systems, industrial machinery, automation equipment and commercial electrical installations. Its compact three-module DIN rail mounted construction enables straightforward installation within modern switchboards and control panels.
