Why Choose the ABB F3C-AR230 C 4/30 Auto-Reclosing Unit?
The ABB F3C-AR230 C 4/30, order code 2CSF203998R0035, is an advanced automatic reclosing unit with system checking designed for compatible 4-pole ABB F200 residual current circuit breakers. As part of the ABB F200 / FH200 RCCB product group, it can automatically restore the associated RCCB after an unwanted trip, but only after checking that there is no effective fault remaining in the protected electrical system.
This version is specifically designed for 4-pole F200 RCCBs with 30 mA residual current sensitivity. Before reclosing, the F3C-AR230 C performs an assessment of the protected system, helping prevent reconnection while a genuine earth fault remains present. It supports compatible standard F200 RCCBs up to 100 A and Type B F200 RCCBs up to 63 A.
The unit operates from a 230–240 V AC supply and is intended for compatible 4-pole 400 V RCCB installations. Its automatic system-checking and reclosing functionality can improve continuity of service in commercial, industrial and unattended installations where restoring power safely after transient residual-current events is important.

Automatic Reclosing with Preventive System Checking
The ABB F3C-AR230 C range is designed to improve continuity of supply while maintaining controlled residual current protection. Following an unexpected trip, the unit checks the protected electrical system before operating the associated RCCB. Automatic reclosing takes place only when the assessment indicates that no effective fault remains in the system.
For the F3C-AR230 C 4/30, this functionality is specifically configured for compatible 4-pole 30 mA F200 RCCBs. The unit can perform up to 48 automatic reclosing attempts and can continue assessing the installation for up to 24 hours after the fault, making it particularly useful where electrical continuity and unattended recovery are important.
Typical Applications
- Commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems.
- Compatible 4-pole ABB F200 RCCB installations.
- Unattended electrical installations requiring automatic supply restoration.
- Building services and facility management systems.
- Remote installations where manual RCCB resetting is inconvenient.
- TT and TN distribution systems requiring system assessment before reclosing.
- Applications using compatible 4-pole 30 mA RCCBs where continuity of service is important.
