Frequently Asked Questions

What does the C-curve designation mean on the S202M-C6?
The C-curve (trip curve C) means the MCB trips instantaneously at 5–10× the rated current (30–60A for a 6A device). This makes the ABB S202M-C6 ideal for loads with moderate inrush currents such as small motors, transformers, and fluorescent lighting circuits.

What is the breaking capacity of the ABB S202M-C6?
The S202M-C6 has a rated breaking capacity (Icu) of 10kA at 230V AC per IEC/EN 60898-1, making it suitable for installations with high prospective short-circuit currents.

Is the S202M-C6 DIN rail mountable?
Yes. The ABB S202M-C6 mounts on standard 35mm DIN rail and occupies a width of 35mm, equivalent to 2 module widths in a standard distribution enclosure.
