Why Choose the ABB S401P-C8 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S401P-C8 is a high-performance single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect cables and electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit currents. As part of the ABB S400P series for the SMISSLINE TP plug-in system, it combines current-limiting circuit protection with a practical plug-in architecture for professional electrical distribution.
Featuring a Type C tripping characteristic and a rated current of 8 A, the S401P-C8 is suitable for compatible circuits where moderate transient or inrush currents may occur. Its single-pole configuration provides compact protection while occupying only one module within the SMISSLINE TP system.
With a rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 40 kA according to IEC/EN 60947-2, the S401P-C8 provides robust fault protection for demanding commercial and industrial installations. Its plug-in design enables direct integration with compatible SMISSLINE TP socket-base assemblies, supporting efficient installation, replacement and maintenance.

Reliable Circuit Protection for Electrical Distribution
The ABB S401P-C8 uses a delayed thermal tripping mechanism for overload protection together with an electromagnetic tripping mechanism for short-circuit protection. This automatic disconnection helps protect cables, conductors and connected electrical equipment against damage caused by excessive current.
The ABB SMISSLINE TP system uses a plug-in architecture that enables compatible protective devices to connect directly to its socket-base system. Combined with the S401P-C8's compact single-pole format and high short-circuit breaking capacity, this provides an efficient protection solution for professional commercial and industrial electrical distribution.
