Why Choose the ABB S203C3 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB S203C3 is a premium 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) engineered to provide reliable protection against overloads and short circuits in residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations. As part of the trusted ABB System pro M Compact S200 series, it combines dependable thermal-magnetic protection with a compact design and long service life.

Featuring a C curve tripping characteristic, the S203C3 is ideal for circuits with moderate inrush currents, making it suitable for control equipment, transformers, small motors, power supplies, HVAC systems and general-purpose industrial applications. Its current-limiting construction helps reduce fault energy while providing rapid disconnection during short-circuit conditions.

With a rated current of 3 A, a 3-pole configuration and a 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the ABB S203C3 is designed for three-phase electrical systems operating at up to 400 V AC. Its compact DIN rail mounting format enables fast installation into distribution boards, switchgear and industrial control panels.
