Why Choose the ABB S803C-C32 High Performance MCB?
The ABB S803C-C32 is a high-performance 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide dependable overload and short-circuit protection in demanding electrical distribution systems. As part of the ABB S800C high-performance circuit breaker series, it combines a rated current of 32 A, C tripping characteristic and high fault-current interruption capability for residential, commercial and industrial installations.
This current-limiting circuit breaker incorporates separate thermal and electromagnetic tripping mechanisms. The thermal release protects against sustained overload conditions, while the electromagnetic release responds rapidly to short-circuit faults. Fast arc extinction and current-limiting operation help reduce the thermal and mechanical stresses caused by high prospective fault currents.
With a rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 25 kA at 240/415 V AC, three protected poles and ABB cage terminals, the S803C-C32 is well suited to three-phase circuits requiring robust protection. It can also be used for AC voltages up to 254/440 V AC and in DC applications within its specified ratings.

Reliable High-Performance Circuit Protection
High-performance circuit breakers such as the ABB S803C-C32 protect electrical circuits and connected equipment against excessive currents caused by overloads and short circuits. The thermal tripping mechanism responds to sustained overload conditions, while the electromagnetic mechanism provides rapid disconnection when a short-circuit fault occurs.
The C tripping characteristic is suitable for many general-purpose commercial and industrial loads that can produce moderate inrush currents during switching or starting. Combined with the S800C series' high interruption capability, current-limiting operation and fast arc extinction, the S803C-C32 provides robust protection for three-phase electrical distribution and machine-control systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical distribution boards.
- Three-phase machine and automation circuits.
- Industrial control panels and switchgear.
- Commercial power distribution systems.
- Circuits with moderate switching or starting currents.
- Feeder and final-circuit protection.
- Installations with high prospective short-circuit currents.
