Why Choose the ABB DS203NCC32AS300 RCBO?
The ABB DS203NCC32AS300 is a compact and dependable 3P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to protect three-phase electrical circuits against overloads, short circuits and residual earth-fault currents. As part of the ABB DS203NC series, it combines overcurrent and residual-current protection in a single modular device for commercial and industrial electrical distribution.
This RCBO features a 32 A rated current, C tripping characteristic and Type A selective (S) residual-current protection. Type A functionality detects sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents, while the selective time-delay characteristic supports discrimination with suitable downstream residual-current protective devices.
With a rated residual operating current of 300 mA and a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA according to EN/IEC 61009, the DS203NCC32AS300 provides coordinated circuit and earth-fault protection. Its compact 3P+N four-module construction incorporates three protected poles and a switched neutral, making it well suited to three-phase distribution systems requiring selective residual-current protection.

Reliable Selective Protection for Three-Phase Circuits
RCBOs combine the protective functions of a miniature circuit breaker and a residual-current device in one unit. The ABB DS203NCC32AS300 responds to overload and short-circuit conditions while monitoring residual current flowing to earth, providing coordinated protection for conductors, connected equipment and electrical installations.
The selective Type A characteristic introduces a deliberate time delay in residual-current operation, helping coordinate the DS203NCC32AS300 with suitable downstream residual-current devices. This supports discrimination in multi-level distribution systems by allowing an appropriate downstream protective device to clear a local residual-current fault before the upstream selective RCBO operates.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase commercial electrical distribution systems.
- Industrial electrical distribution boards.
- Distribution circuits requiring selective residual-current protection.
- Circuits coordinated with downstream RCDs or RCBOs.
- Machinery and equipment circuits with moderate starting currents.
- Three-phase loads requiring Type A residual-current detection.
- Compact switchboards and modular DIN-rail distribution equipment.
