Why Choose the ABB S801S-C40 High Performance MCB?
The ABB S801S-C40 is a high-performance miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide reliable overload and short-circuit protection in demanding electrical distribution systems. As part of the ABB S800S high-performance circuit breaker series, it combines compact modular construction with strong current-limiting performance for commercial and industrial installations.
This circuit breaker features a Type C tripping characteristic, making it suitable for resistive and inductive loads with moderate inrush currents. Separate thermal and electromechanical tripping mechanisms provide protection against sustained overloads and short circuits, while the S800S platform's fast arc-extinction technology helps limit fault energy and protect downstream equipment.
With a rated current of 40 A, a 1-pole configuration and a maximum ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 50 kA at 240/415 V AC, the S801S-C40 provides high fault-current performance in a compact format. It is suitable for voltages up to 400/690 V AC and can also be used in DC applications, making it a versatile solution for professional circuit protection.
