Why Choose the ABB S203M-B40 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S203M-B40 is a compact and reliable 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the ABB System pro M compact S200M series, it provides dependable low voltage circuit protection for commercial, industrial and residential electrical installations.
Featuring a B curve tripping characteristic, the S203M-B40 is suitable for general purpose circuits where relatively low inrush currents are expected. Its current limiting design combines delayed thermal tripping for overload protection with electromechanical tripping for short circuit protection, helping maintain safe and consistent circuit operation.
With a 40 A rated current, 3-pole configuration and 10 kA breaking capacity, this miniature circuit breaker is ideal for DIN rail mounted distribution boards, control panels and electrical enclosures where robust, compact and high quality circuit protection is required.
