Reliable Protection for Sensitive AC/DC Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S202M-Z8UC automatically disconnect a circuit when excessive current occurs as a result of an overload or short circuit. This helps protect cables, conductors and connected electrical equipment while allowing the breaker to be reset after the fault has been identified and corrected.
The S200 M UC series is engineered for universal-current applications and provides flexible protection for both alternating-current and direct-current circuits. The Z characteristic offers sensitive magnetic operation, making it particularly useful for electronic equipment, control circuits and other loads requiring rapid disconnection at comparatively low fault-current levels.
Typical Applications
- DC and traction electrical systems.
- Railway electrical installations.
- Sensitive industrial control circuits.
- Electronic equipment and control loads.
- Industrial automation and control panels.
- AC and DC electrical distribution systems.
