Why Choose the ABB S203-B4 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB S203-B4 is a compact and reliable three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the established ABB System pro M compact S200 series, it combines thermal overload protection with electromagnetic short-circuit protection for dependable circuit protection in commercial and industrial electrical installations.

Featuring a Type B tripping characteristic, the S203-B4 is suited to circuits with relatively low starting and inrush currents. This makes it suitable for resistive loads, control equipment and other three-phase circuits where reliable protection and simultaneous disconnection of all three poles are required.

With a rated current of 4 A, a 3-pole configuration and a rated operational voltage of 400 V AC, the S203-B4 provides a compact DIN-rail protection solution. It offers a 6 kA rated short-circuit capacity according to IEC/EN 60898-1 and a 10 kA ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity according to IEC/EN 60947-2.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable overload and short-circuit protection for three-phase circuits.
  • 4 A rated current suitable for low-current distribution and control applications.
  • 3-pole configuration provides simultaneous switching and protection of three conductors.
  • Type B tripping characteristic suitable for loads with relatively low inrush currents.
  • 6 kA breaking capacity according to IEC/EN 60898-1.
  • 10 kA ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity according to IEC/EN 60947-2.
  • Compact DIN-rail mounting for integration into distribution and control panels.

Key Features

  • ABB System pro M compact S200 series.
  • 4 A rated current.
  • 3-pole configuration.
  • Type B tripping characteristic.
  • 400 V AC rated operational voltage.
  • Thermal tripping mechanism for overload protection.
  • Electromagnetic tripping mechanism for rapid short-circuit protection.
  • Current-limiting design for dependable electrical circuit protection.

Reliable Three-Pole Circuit Protection

Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S203-B4 automatically disconnect a circuit when excessive current occurs. The S200 design combines thermal operation for sustained overload conditions with electromagnetic operation for rapid disconnection during short-circuit faults.

The three-pole construction enables simultaneous disconnection of all three poles, making the S203-B4 suitable for three-phase electrical systems. Its Type B characteristic is intended for circuits with comparatively low inrush currents, including suitable resistive, distribution and control loads.

Typical Applications

  • Low-current three-phase electrical circuits.
  • Industrial control and automation systems.
  • Resistive-load circuits.
  • Electrical machinery and control panels.
  • Commercial electrical distribution systems.
  • Industrial DIN-rail distribution boards.
