Why Choose the ABB S203M-K40 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S203M-K40 is a robust three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide reliable overload and short-circuit protection in industrial, commercial and panel building applications. As part of the ABB S200M System pro M compact series, it combines compact DIN rail installation with dependable protection for demanding electrical systems.
This circuit breaker features a K tripping characteristic, making it particularly suitable for circuits with higher inrush currents such as motors, transformers, solenoids and other inductive loads. Its current limiting design helps reduce fault energy, protecting connected cables, switchgear and equipment during abnormal operating conditions.
With a 40 A rated current, three-pole configuration and 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the ABB S203M-K40 is well suited to three-phase distribution boards, machinery panels and automation systems where reliable protection and reduced nuisance tripping are essential.

Reliable Circuit Protection for Inductive Loads
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S203M-K40 automatically disconnect the electrical supply when overload or short-circuit conditions occur. This helps protect wiring, switchgear and connected equipment from damage caused by excessive current.
The K curve is especially useful in applications where inductive loads may draw higher starting currents during normal operation. This helps minimise unwanted tripping while maintaining dependable protection during genuine electrical faults.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase industrial distribution boards.
- Motor control circuits and machinery panels.
- Transformer and inductive load protection.
- Automation and control cabinets.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- Panel building and OEM electrical equipment.
