Why Choose the ABB S802S-C16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB S802S-C16 is a high-performance 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits in demanding residential, commercial and industrial installations. As part of the proven ABB S800S high-performance MCB series, it combines a high short-circuit breaking capacity with a Type C tripping characteristic for dependable protection of general-purpose and moderately inductive electrical loads.

With a rated current of 16 A and an ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 50 kA at 240/415 V AC, the S802S-C16 provides robust circuit protection where high prospective fault currents must be safely interrupted. Its Type C characteristic is well suited to circuits with moderate switching or starting currents while maintaining effective overload and short-circuit protection.

The S802S-C16 is a current-limiting breaker with separate thermal and electromechanical tripping mechanisms for overload and short-circuit protection. Its 2-pole construction, cage terminals and compatibility with AC and appropriately configured DC circuits make it a versatile solution for electrical distribution boards, control panels and industrial power systems.
