2CCS881001R0135 ABB S801C-B13 High Performance MCB 25 kA 1P Type B 13 A

Why Choose the ABB S801C-B13 High Performance MCB?

The ABB S801C-B13 is a high-performance 1-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide dependable overload and short-circuit protection in demanding electrical distribution systems. As part of ABB's S800 high-performance circuit breaker family, it combines reliable thermal and electromagnetic protection with a compact single-pole configuration.

Featuring a Type B tripping characteristic and rated current of 13 A, the S801C-B13 is suited to circuits where relatively low starting or inrush currents are expected. The Type B characteristic provides sensitive magnetic fault response, making the breaker appropriate for compatible distribution, control and general-purpose electrical loads.

With a specified short-circuit breaking capacity of 25 kA, the S801C-B13 provides robust fault protection for installations with substantial prospective short-circuit currents. Its current-limiting operation helps reduce the energy passed through during a fault, supporting effective protection of downstream conductors and equipment.

High-Performance Circuit Protection

The ABB S801C-B13 combines thermal overload protection with rapid electromagnetic operation during short-circuit conditions. Its single-pole design provides focused protection for individual circuits, while the high breaking capacity supports use in electrical systems where substantial prospective fault currents may be present.

The Type B characteristic provides rapid magnetic operation at relatively low multiples of rated current, making it suitable for circuits without substantial normal starting or inrush currents. Combined with current-limiting operation and ABB's S800 circuit protection technology, this provides dependable protection for demanding branch and control circuits.

Typical Applications

• Industrial electrical distribution boards.
• Commercial power distribution systems.
• Machinery and automation control panels.
• Branch and control circuit protection.
• High fault-level electrical installations.
• Circuits without substantial normal starting or inrush currents.
