Why Choose the ABB S803S-D13 High Performance MCB?
The ABB S803S-D13 is a high-performance three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide reliable overload and short-circuit protection in demanding electrical installations. As part of the proven ABB S800S high-performance circuit breaker series, it combines high breaking capacity with effective current limitation for commercial and industrial electrical distribution applications.
This circuit breaker features a Type D tripping characteristic and a rated current of 13 A. Its Type D characteristic makes it particularly suitable for circuits with higher starting or inrush currents, while separate thermal and electromechanical tripping mechanisms provide overload and short-circuit protection respectively. Fast arc extinction helps limit fault energy and protect downstream equipment.
With three protected poles and a maximum ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 50 kA at 240/415 V AC, the S803S-D13 provides high-performance protection where prospective fault currents exceed the capabilities of conventional miniature circuit breakers. It can be used at voltages up to 400/690 V AC and is also suitable for DC applications, making it a versatile protective device for electrical distribution and machinery systems.
