Applications
Protection of branch circuits and feeders in three‑phase systems
Used in distribution panels for lighting, motor circuits, and general power distribution
Suitable where moderate inrush currents occur (type C curve)
The ABB S203‑C100 is a three‑pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for overload and short‑circuit protection of electrical circuits in residential, commercial, and light industrial installations. It features a type C tripping characteristic, making it suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents such as lighting, small motors, and general power distribution. The breaker is intended for DIN‑rail mounting and can be used to safely interrupt fault currents while protecting conductors and connected equipment.
