Why Choose the ABB S203-K1 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S203-K1 is a premium three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the trusted ABB System pro M Compact S200 series. Designed to provide dependable overload and short circuit protection, it is ideal for industrial machinery, control systems and OEM equipment requiring reliable protection for low current, high inrush applications.
Featuring a K tripping characteristic, the S203-K1 is specifically engineered for circuits with high starting currents while maintaining a low rated current. This makes it particularly suitable for protecting motors, transformers, contactors, solenoids and other inductive loads where conventional B or C curve breakers may nuisance trip. The dual thermal and magnetic tripping mechanisms ensure dependable protection under demanding operating conditions.
With a 1 A rated current, three-pole configuration and a 6 kA short circuit breaking capacity, this DIN rail mounted miniature circuit breaker offers reliable protection, straightforward installation and compliance with IEC/EN 60898-1, IEC/EN 60947-2 and UL 1077 standards.
