Why Choose the ABB S801S-K32 High Performance MCB?
The ABB S801S-K32 is a high-performance single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide reliable overload and short-circuit protection in demanding electrical installations. Part of the ABB S800S high-performance circuit breaker range, it combines a 32 A rated current, Type K tripping characteristic and high short-circuit breaking capability for industrial, commercial and other professional distribution applications.
The S801S-K32 is a current-limiting circuit breaker incorporating two complementary tripping mechanisms. A thermal mechanism provides overload protection, while an electromechanical mechanism provides rapid short-circuit protection. Fast arc extinction helps limit fault energy and supports dependable protection of downstream equipment and electrical infrastructure.
With a maximum ultimate breaking capacity of 50 kA at 240/415 V AC, a compact single-pole construction and interchangeable cage terminal, the S801S-K32 is particularly suitable for circuits requiring high fault-current performance. Its Type K characteristic makes it well suited to applications involving motors, transformers and other loads that can produce elevated starting currents. ABB order code 2CCS861001R0537 identifies this specific 32 A model.

Reliable High-Performance Circuit Protection
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S801S-K32 automatically disconnect a circuit when excessive current results from an overload or short circuit. The thermal trip responds to sustained overload conditions, while the electromechanical trip provides rapid operation during high short-circuit currents, helping protect conductors and connected electrical equipment.
The S800S range is engineered for applications requiring high fault-breaking performance in a compact format. The Type K characteristic makes the S801S-K32 particularly useful for circuits with elevated starting currents, while its current-limiting design and rapid arc extinction help minimise the electrical and thermal stresses associated with short-circuit faults.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical distribution systems.
- Motor and machinery circuits.
- Industrial control panels and switchgear.
- Automation and production equipment.
- Transformer and inductive-load circuits.
- Circuits with elevated starting or inrush currents.
- Commercial electrical distribution systems.
- High fault-level electrical installations.
