2CSR252101R1137 ABB DS202 A-K13/0.03 RCBO 2P Type A 30mA K13 6kA

Why Choose the ABB DS202 A-K13/0.03 RCBO?

The ABB DS202 A-K13/0.03 is a two-pole Type A residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to combine residual-current, overload and short-circuit protection within a single modular device. Part of ABB’s DS200 series 6000, it is particularly suited to commercial and industrial circuits containing motors, transformers and auxiliary equipment.

With a rated current of 13 A, a K tripping characteristic and a rated residual operating current of 30 mA, the DS202 A-K13/0.03 provides overcurrent protection while detecting both sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents. The 30 mA sensitivity provides additional protection against electric shock, while the K characteristic is designed to tolerate current peaks associated with inductive loads without unnecessary tripping.

The DS202 A-K13/0.03 provides a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA and uses a two-pole configuration. Its combination of Type A residual-current detection and K-curve overcurrent protection makes it particularly useful where motors, transformers or auxiliary circuits require dependable protection alongside improved resistance to normal current peaks.

Key Advantages

• Combined RCBO protection against residual current, overload and short circuit within one device.

Type A Protection with K Characteristic

The ABB DS202 A-K13/0.03 combines Type A residual-current protection with ABB’s K overcurrent characteristic. Type A detection enables the RCBO to respond to sinusoidal alternating residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents, making it suitable for a broader range of electrical equipment than a Type AC device.

The K characteristic is intended particularly for circuits containing motors, transformers and auxiliary equipment. It provides increased tolerance of normal current peaks, helping avoid unwanted tripping during starting conditions, while its sensitive thermal protection supports effective protection of cables, lines and connected equipment against sustained overcurrents.

Typical Applications

• Commercial electrical distribution systems.
• Industrial electrical distribution systems.
• Motor circuits requiring suitable starting-current tolerance.
• Transformer and auxiliary circuits.
• Circuits requiring 13 A K-characteristic overcurrent protection.
• Circuits requiring 30 mA Type A residual-current protection.
• Applications where normal current peaks could cause unwanted operation of more sensitive overcurrent characteristics.
