Why Choose the ABB S802N-C50 High Performance MCB?
The ABB S802N-C50 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 ABB S800N high-performance MCB range, it combines a compact DIN rail format with a high short-circuit breaking capacity for dependable circuit protection.
Featuring a 50 A rated current and Type C tripping characteristic, the S802N-C50 is suitable for circuits supplying resistive and inductive loads with moderate inrush currents. It uses separate thermal and electromechanical tripping mechanisms to provide overload and short-circuit protection, while its current-limiting design and rapid arc extinction help minimise the effects of electrical faults.
The S802N-C50 provides a maximum breaking capacity of 36 kA at 240/415 V AC and can be used at voltages up to 400/690 V AC, as well as in suitable DC applications. Its two-pole configuration, cage terminals and robust construction make it an effective protection solution for industrial distribution boards, machinery, commercial installations and other electrical systems with high prospective fault currents.

High-Performance Circuit Protection for Demanding Installations
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S802N-C50 automatically interrupt an electrical circuit when excessive current occurs because of an overload or short circuit. The thermal tripping mechanism provides overload protection, while the electromechanical tripping mechanism responds rapidly to short-circuit conditions to protect cables, equipment and the wider electrical installation.
The ABB S800N range is engineered for installations requiring significantly higher breaking capacities than conventional miniature circuit breakers. With a maximum breaking capacity of 36 kA at 240/415 V AC, the S802N-C50 is particularly suitable for electrical systems where high prospective short-circuit currents demand robust and fast-acting circuit protection.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical distribution boards.
- Commercial power distribution systems.
- Machinery and industrial control panels.
- High fault-level electrical installations.
- Protection of resistive and inductive electrical loads.
- Circuits requiring a 50 A Type C protective device.
- Electrical installations requiring high short-circuit breaking capacity.
