2CCS862001R1467 ABB S802S-UCK16 High Performance MCB 50 kA 2P Type K 16 A

Why Choose the ABB S802S-UCK16 High Performance MCB?

The ABB S802S-UCK16 is a high-performance 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide dependable overload and short-circuit protection in demanding electrical installations. Part of the ABB S800S high-performance circuit breaker range, this model combines a rated current of 16 A with a Type K tripping characteristic, making it well suited to appropriately designed circuits supplying equipment with elevated starting or inrush currents.

The S802S-UCK16 uses thermal and electromagnetic tripping principles to protect conductors and connected equipment. Its thermal mechanism responds to sustained overload conditions, while the electromagnetic mechanism provides rapid interruption during short-circuit faults. A high 50 kA short-circuit breaking capacity makes this breaker suitable for installations where substantial prospective fault currents demand high-performance protection.

With two protected poles and the robust modular construction of the ABB S800 platform, the S802S-UCK16 is suitable for industrial machinery, control panels, power distribution equipment and circuits supplying inductive loads. Its Type K characteristic provides tolerance of short-duration starting currents while retaining effective overload and short-circuit protection.

Reliable Protection for High Starting Current Loads

The ABB S802S-UCK16 combines thermal overload protection with rapid electromagnetic short-circuit protection. During a sustained overload, the thermal mechanism trips the breaker to protect conductors and equipment from excessive current, while the electromagnetic mechanism provides fast interruption when a severe short-circuit fault occurs.

Its Type K characteristic is particularly useful for appropriately designed circuits where connected equipment can draw substantial short-duration starting currents. Combined with the high breaking capacity and current-limiting performance of the S800S platform, the S802S-UCK16 provides dependable protection for demanding industrial machinery and power distribution applications.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery and automation systems.
• Motor and other inductive-load circuits.
• Circuits with elevated starting or inrush currents.
• Electrical control panels and switchboards.
• Industrial power distribution systems.
• Installations requiring high short-circuit breaking capacity.
