Why Choose the ABB S802N-C40 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S802N-C40 is a high-performance 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits where a high breaking capacity is required. Part of the proven ABB S800N high-performance circuit breaker series, it combines a rated current of 40 A with an ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 36 kA.
Featuring a Type C tripping characteristic, the S802N-C40 is designed for protection of resistive and inductive loads with relatively low inrush currents. The S800N platform provides dependable overload and short-circuit protection while its high breaking capacity makes it particularly useful in demanding commercial and industrial distribution systems.
The S802N-C40 provides two protected poles in a compact DIN-rail format and uses cage terminals for secure conductor connection. At 415 V AC it provides an Icu of 36 kA and an Ics of 30 kA, while at 690 V AC it provides an Icu of 4.5 kA and an Ics of 3 kA.
Key Advantages
- High 36 kA ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity at 415 V AC.
- 40 A rated current for commercial and industrial circuit protection.

Reliable High-Performance Circuit Protection
High-performance miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S802N-C40 automatically disconnect electrical circuits when excessive current results from an overload or short circuit. This helps protect conductors, connected equipment and distribution systems against the damaging thermal and electromagnetic effects associated with overcurrent faults.
The S800N C-characteristic range is designed for commercial and industrial circuits requiring high breaking capacity and protection of resistive or inductive loads with relatively low inrush current. Its high fault-interruption capability also makes the S802N-C40 useful in coordinated systems where selectivity with an upstream moulded-case circuit breaker or back-up protection for downstream MCBs is required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical distribution panels.
- Commercial distribution boards.
- Machinery and automation control cabinets.
- Resistive and inductive load circuits with relatively low inrush current.
- Industrial control and auxiliary power systems.
- High fault-level installations requiring high-performance circuit protection.
