Why Choose the ABB S801S-C13 High-Performance MCB?
The ABB S801S-C13 is a single-pole, 13 A high-performance miniature circuit breaker with a Type C tripping characteristic, designed to protect electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. Part of ABB's S800S range, it combines high breaking capacity with effective current limitation for demanding commercial and industrial distribution applications.
The S801S-C13 provides an ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 50 kA at 240 V AC, with additional breaking capacities specified for higher AC voltages and DC operation. Its Type C characteristic makes it suitable for circuits where moderate starting or inrush currents occur during normal operation.
Protection is provided through two complementary mechanisms: a thermal tripping mechanism for overload protection and an electromechanical tripping mechanism for short-circuit protection. Fast arc extinction and current-limiting operation help reduce fault energy, while the interchangeable cage terminal and ON/OFF/TRIP position indication support straightforward installation, operation and maintenance.

High-Performance Type C Circuit Protection
The ABB S800S platform is designed for installations where high prospective fault currents require greater interruption capability than conventional miniature circuit breakers may provide. The S801S-C13 combines rapid electromagnetic short-circuit interruption with effective current limitation and fast arc extinction, helping reduce the thermal and electrodynamic stresses imposed on cables, equipment and distribution infrastructure.
Its Type C characteristic provides a practical balance between overload protection and tolerance of moderate normal inrush currents, making the S801S-C13 suitable for a broad range of professional loads. AC and DC capability, high breaking performance and compatibility with ABB's extensive S800 accessory system make it a versatile solution for industrial and commercial circuit protection.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical distribution systems.
- Commercial distribution boards and switchgear.
- Machine and automation control panels.
- Control and auxiliary power circuits.
- Circuits with moderate normal starting or inrush currents.
- Installations with high prospective short-circuit currents.
- AC and DC circuit protection within the specified device ratings.
