Why Choose the ABB F3C-AR230 C 4/300 Auto Recloser?
The ABB F3C-AR230 C 4/300 is an automatic reclosing unit with system check designed for use with compatible four-pole ABB F200 residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs). Part of ABB’s System pro M compact accessory range, it automatically manages the reclosing of an associated RCCB following an unwanted trip, helping restore electrical service without requiring immediate manual intervention.
Unlike a basic automatic reclosing mechanism, the F3C-AR230 C incorporates a system check function. Before attempting to reclose the associated RCCB, the unit checks the protected installation to confirm that an effective fault is not still present. This makes it particularly useful for unattended installations and applications where continuity of electrical service is important while maintaining controlled reclosing behaviour.
The F3C-AR230 C 4/300 is specifically configured for compatible four-pole F200 RCCBs with 300 mA residual-current sensitivity. It operates from a 230–240 V AC supply and is suitable for F200 RCCBs rated up to 100 A, or up to 63 A when used with compatible Type B devices.
Key Advantages
- Automatic RCCB reclosing helps restore service following temporary or unwanted trips.
- Integrated system check before reclosing verifies that an effective fault is not present.
- Designed specifically for compatible 4P F200 RCCBs with 300 mA sensitivity.
- Suitable for F200 RCCBs up to 100 A, or compatible Type B RCCBs up to 63 A.
- 230–240 V AC operating supply for integration into standard electrical installations.
- Supports continuity of service in unattended and difficult-to-access electrical installations.
- Compact DIN-rail accessory designed for integration with ABB modular protection equipment.
Key Features

- Suitable for RCCBs with 300 mA residual-current sensitivity.
- 230–240 V AC operating voltage.
- Up to 48 automatic reclosing attempts.
- 45-second waiting period between automatic reclosing attempts.
- Automatic system checking can continue for up to 24 hours following a fault.
- IP40 / IP20 protection ratings according to installation condition.
- Plug-in terminal connection for straightforward installation.
Automatic Reclosing with System Check
The ABB F3C-AR230 C series is designed to improve continuity of service following temporary residual-current trips. When the associated RCCB trips, the unit checks the protected electrical system before initiating a reclosing operation. Reclosing is only attempted when the system check determines that an effective fault is not present, reducing the risk of automatically reconnecting a circuit while a persistent fault remains.
This functionality makes the F3C-AR230 C 4/300 particularly valuable in unattended installations, remote equipment and electrical systems where unnecessary downtime can be disruptive. The unit can perform up to 48 automatic reclosing attempts and can continue checking for conditions that permit safe reclosing for up to 24 hours following a fault.
Typical Applications
- Unattended electrical installations requiring continuity of service.
- Commercial and industrial electrical distribution boards.
- Remote electrical equipment and installations that are difficult to access.
- Building automation and infrastructure electrical systems.
- Compatible four-pole ABB F200 RCCB installations.
- Circuits requiring automatic restoration following temporary residual-current trips.
