Frequently Asked Questions

• What does the "C" in S202-C32 mean? The "C" denotes the tripping curve, which triggers between 5× and 10× the rated current. Curve-C is suitable for inductive and mixed loads such as motors, transformers, and fluorescent lighting where moderate inrush currents are expected.
• What is the breaking capacity of the ABB S202-C32? The S202-C32 has a rated breaking capacity (Icu) of 6 kA at 230/400 V AC, suitable for standard distribution networks.
• How many poles does the S202-C32 have? It is a 2-pole (2P) device, protecting both live and neutral conductors simultaneously — ideal for single-phase circuits in 230/400 V AC systems.
• Is the ABB S202-C32 DIN-rail compatible? Yes, the S202-C32 is designed for standard 35 mm DIN-rail mounting as per EN 60715.
• What certifications does the S202-C32 hold? It carries CE, UKCA, UL 1077, CSA, IEC/EN 60898-1, IEC/EN 60947-2, RoHS, REACH, and WEEE compliance, making it suitable for global deployments.
