Why Choose the ABB SU202DC-Z40 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB SU202DC-Z40 is a high-performance 2-pole DC miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit conditions. Part of the ABB SU200DC series, this model combines a 40 A rated current, sensitive Type Z tripping characteristic and a high 14 kA short-circuit interrupting rating for demanding commercial and industrial DC applications.

Designed specifically for direct-current circuits, the SU202DC-Z40 provides reliable overcurrent protection for electronic equipment, control systems and other loads where rapid magnetic tripping is required. Its Z characteristic is particularly suitable for protecting sensitive circuits with relatively low short-circuit current requirements compared with conventional B, C or D characteristic breakers.

With two protected poles and suitability for DC systems up to 250 V DC, the SU202DC-Z40 provides compact protection within DIN-rail distribution and control assemblies. The breaker is manufactured in accordance with UL 489 and CSA 22.2 No. 5 requirements for commercial and industrial applications.

Reliable Protection for Sensitive DC Circuits

Miniature circuit breakers protect wiring and connected equipment by automatically interrupting current when an overload or short circuit occurs. The ABB SU202DC-Z40 is engineered specifically for DC circuits, where correct interruption of direct current requires dedicated switching and arc-control characteristics.

The Type Z characteristic provides particularly responsive magnetic protection, making this breaker well suited to electronic equipment and control circuits requiring sensitive short-circuit protection. Its 14 kA UL 489 short-circuit rating and two-pole construction make it suitable for robust industrial DC distribution while maintaining a compact modular footprint.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial DC power distribution systems.
  • Electronic equipment and sensitive electrical circuits.
  • Industrial control and automation panels.
  • DC control-power circuits.
  • Machine and equipment protection systems.
  • Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
  • Traction and transportation electrical systems.
