Why Choose the ABB F202 A S-40/0.5 RCCB?
The ABB F202 A S-40/0.5 is a dependable 2-pole Type A selective residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) designed to provide residual current protection in electrical distribution systems. As part of the established ABB F200 RCCB series, it combines Type A residual current detection with a selective time-delayed operating characteristic for coordinated protection in commercial and industrial installations.
The Type A characteristic enables the F202 A S-40/0.5 to detect sinusoidal alternating residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents. Its 500 mA rated residual operating current and selective Type S characteristic make it particularly suitable for upstream earth leakage protection where discrimination with suitable downstream residual current devices is required.
With a 40 A rated current, 2-pole configuration and modular construction, the F202 A S-40/0.5 provides reliable protection for electrical distribution circuits. Its DIN-rail mounting simplifies installation in distribution boards, while selective operation helps reduce unnecessary upstream tripping in correctly coordinated systems.

Selective Type A Residual Current Protection
RCCBs monitor the balance of current flowing through the conductors of an electrical circuit and disconnect the supply when residual current to earth exceeds the device operating threshold. Type A devices respond to both sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents, making them suitable for modern installations containing electronic loads.
The selective Type S characteristic introduces an intentional operating delay to support coordination between upstream and downstream residual current devices. In a correctly designed installation, this discrimination can allow the protective device closest to a fault to operate first, helping maintain the supply to unaffected circuits.
Typical Applications
- Commercial electrical distribution systems.
- Industrial electrical distribution boards.
- Upstream residual current protection.
- Circuits requiring 500 mA Type A residual current protection.
