Why Choose the ABB S203MT-K0.5 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S203MT-K0.5 is a robust and compact 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection in demanding industrial, traction and railway applications. As part of the ABB S200MT miniature circuit breaker range, it provides dependable circuit protection where durability, safety and compliance are essential.
This MCB uses both a delayed thermal tripping mechanism for overload protection and an electromechanical tripping mechanism for short-circuit protection. The K characteristic makes it suitable for circuits with higher inrush currents, helping reduce unwanted tripping while maintaining effective protection for connected equipment.
With a rated current of 0.5 A, a 3-pole configuration and a rated breaking capacity of 10 kA, the S203MT-K0.5 is ideal for low-current three-phase control, signalling and auxiliary circuits. Its modular DIN rail design enables straightforward installation in electrical panels, control cabinets and transport-related systems.
