Why Choose the ABB F204 B-40/0.03 RCCB?
The ABB F204 B-40/0.03, order code 2CSF204568R1400, is a 4-pole Type B residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) designed for electrical installations where AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC residual currents may occur. Part of the established ABB F200 / FH200 RCCB product group, it combines a 40 A rated current with sensitive 30 mA residual current protection.
Its Type B characteristic provides all-current-sensitive residual current detection, responding to sinusoidal AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC residual currents. This makes the F204 B-40/0.03 particularly relevant to installations incorporating frequency converters, variable-speed drives, inverters and other power-electronic equipment capable of producing residual current waveforms beyond those covered by Type AC or Type A RCCBs.
The 4-pole configuration supports three-phase electrical distribution applications where comprehensive residual current detection is required. With its 40 A current rating and 30 mA residual operating threshold, this ABB RCCB provides Type B protection for appropriately designed commercial and industrial circuits.
Key Advantages
- Advanced Type B all-current-sensitive residual current protection.
- 40 A rated current for compatible electrical distribution circuits.
- Sensitive 30 mA residual current protection.
- Detects sinusoidal AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC residual currents.
- 4-pole configuration for three-phase electrical distribution applications.
- Suitable for appropriately designed circuits incorporating inverters, frequency converters and other power-electronic equipment.
- Part of ABB's established F200 residual current protection range.
Key Features
- ABB F200 series RCCB.
- Type B residual current characteristic.
- All-current-sensitive protection.
- 4-pole configuration.
- 40 A rated current.
- 30 mA rated residual current.
- Detection of sinusoidal AC residual currents.
- Detection of pulsating DC residual currents.
- Detection of smooth DC residual currents.

Type B All-Current-Sensitive Residual Current Protection
Type B RCCBs extend residual current detection beyond the capabilities of Type AC and Type A devices. The ABB F204 B-40/0.03 is designed to respond to sinusoidal AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC residual currents, making it suitable for applications where power-electronic equipment can create residual current conditions requiring all-current-sensitive protection.
This capability is particularly relevant to appropriately designed circuits containing frequency converters, variable-speed drives, inverters and similar electronic equipment. The F204 B-40/0.03 is an RCCB and does not by itself provide overload or short-circuit protection, so suitable overcurrent protection must be provided separately in accordance with the circuit design and applicable installation requirements.
Typical Applications
- Commercial three-phase electrical distribution systems.
- Industrial electrical installations.
- Frequency converter circuits.
- Variable-speed drive applications.
- Inverter-based electrical equipment.
- Industrial machinery incorporating power electronics.
- Circuits where smooth DC residual currents may occur.
- Installations requiring 40 A, 30 mA Type B residual current protection.
