Why Choose the ABB S804N-C20 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S804N-C20 is a high-performance 4-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits in demanding commercial and industrial installations. Part of the ABB S800N high-performance circuit breaker series, it combines a rated current of 20 A with a high 36 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.
Featuring a Type C tripping characteristic, the S804N-C20 is suited to circuits supplying resistive and inductive loads with moderate starting or inrush currents. Its thermal overload and electromagnetic short-circuit protection provide dependable automatic disconnection, while the current-limiting S800N design helps reduce the energy passed through during severe fault conditions.
The S804N-C20 provides four protected poles, making it suitable for four-pole and three-phase-plus-neutral circuit arrangements requiring coordinated switching and protection. Its modular DIN-rail construction and compatibility with the ABB S800 accessory platform support straightforward integration into industrial distribution boards, machinery panels and automation systems.

Reliable Four-Pole Circuit Protection
High-performance miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S804N-C20 automatically disconnect electrical circuits when excessive current results from an overload or short circuit. Thermal tripping responds to sustained overload conditions, while electromagnetic tripping provides rapid interruption during severe short-circuit faults, helping protect conductors and connected equipment.
The Type C characteristic provides a practical balance between overcurrent protection and tolerance of normal temporary starting currents from suitable inductive equipment. Combined with four protected poles and the high fault-interruption capability of the S800N platform, the S804N-C20 provides robust protection for demanding four-pole commercial and industrial distribution systems.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase-plus-neutral industrial distribution circuits.
- Four-pole commercial and industrial distribution panels.
- Machinery and automation control cabinets.
- Resistive and inductive load circuits.
- Industrial control and auxiliary power systems.
- High fault-level installations requiring high-performance circuit protection.
