ABB S203P-D40 three pole 40 A D curve miniature circuit breaker from the System pro M compact S200P range, designed for reliable overload and short-circuit protection in commercial and industrial electrical installations.
The ABB S203P-D40 is a high-performance three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the ABB System pro M compact S200P series, designed to provide dependable overload and short-circuit protection in demanding commercial and industrial electrical installations. Its current limiting construction and robust S200P design make it suitable for distribution boards, control panels and machinery circuits requiring reliable protection.
This circuit breaker features a D curve tripping characteristic, making it suitable for circuits with high inrush currents during start-up. It is commonly used for inductive and power-hungry loads such as motors, transformers, solenoids and industrial machinery where a standard B or C curve breaker may trip unnecessarily during normal energisation.
With a 40 A rated current, three-pole configuration and 15 kA short-circuit breaking capacity at 400 V AC, the S203P-D40 provides reliable protection for three-phase industrial circuits while maintaining the compact installation flexibility expected from ABB’s professional miniature circuit breaker range.
The ABB S203P-D40 protects electrical circuits by automatically disconnecting the supply during overload or short-circuit conditions. Its delayed thermal tripping mechanism protects against sustained overloads, while the electromechanical magnetic trip mechanism provides rapid disconnection during short-circuit faults.
The D curve characteristic allows the breaker to tolerate high inrush currents during equipment start-up, helping to reduce nuisance tripping while maintaining reliable protection for motors, transformers and industrial power circuits.
