Supplementary Protectors
Miniature MCCBs

The new generation of miniature circuit breakers.
System pro M compact S200 series.

The new S200 series covers all your circuit breaker needs
up to 63 amps. We have redesigned our popular supplementary
protectors and have now introduced a brand new range of
miniature molded case circuit breakers suitable for use as
branch circuit protection according to UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5.0.

Alongside the redesigned S200 supplementary protectors,
the new S200 U and S200 UP miniature MCCBs offer
the familiar ABB advantages; small size, excellent
protection and easy installation.

S200 U and UP series are UL 489, CSA C22.2
No 5 approved as well as IEC 947.
For the first time one circuit breaker
fulfills North American and global approval
requirements. Global circuit breakers for
OEMs building global equipment.

By building on the proven technology
of our supplementary protectors and
introducing the new range of miniature
MCCBs, ABB now offer a full solution of the
highest quality that fits into the minimum
space. This allows you to better meet the
wishes of your customers by offering even
more compact global solutions.

The new S200 series is the first truly
compact and modular full circuit breaker
solution for use in both North American
and global markets.

General information

Tripping characteristics

Time-current curves

ABB miniature circuit breakers are available with different trip
characteristics, allowing for maximum system protection.

B characteristic

Available with the S200 series has rated currents of 6 through 63
amperes in 10 steps. The "B" time-current curve is designed primarily
for use in cable protection applications. Instantaneous tripping occurs
between approximately 3 to 5 times rated current in 50/60Hz systems.
This quick trip curve maximizes protection of control circuits under low
short circuit fault levels that could damage control wiring.

C characteristic

Available in the S200 series with rated currents up through 63
amperes. The "C" time-current curve is designed for medium magnetic
start-up currents. Instantaneous tripping occurs between 5 and 10
times rated current in 50/60 Hz systems. The ‘’C’’ characteristic is also
available in other S2 series MCBs.

D characteristic

The new magnetic trip action has an instantaneous trip point of
approximately 15 times the breaker rating. Thus, the S200-D can
be a good protective solution for applications involving high in-rush
transformers, motors and other high inductive systems. The 200-D
is also suitable for any application where a high instantaneous trip
point is desired. Available in the S200 series.

K characteristic

The "K" time-current characteristic considers high magnetic start-up
currents from motors, transformers and other equipment.
Instantaneous tripping occurs between 8 and 12 times rated current in
50/60Hz systems. The "K" characteristic is available up through 63
amperes.

The "K" curve offers the best protection for the broadest range of elec­trical systems. The higher magnetic trip settings maximizes protection
while allowing for higher in-rush currents during system start-up.
Available in the S200, S200U and S200UP. series.

Z characteristic

Also available up through 63 amperes, the "Z" characteristic offers
instantaneous tripping between 2 and 3 times rated current in 50/60Hz
systems.

Many applications require a very low short circuit trip settings in order
to protect semiconductor or other sensitive devices and the "Z" trip
characteristic may provide maximum protection and service in these
applications. Available in S200, S200U and S200UP.

General information

Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) are used throughout the world in
all types of electrical installations. ABB MCBs are recognized by UL
and CSA as supplementary circuit protectors in systems rated 240VAC
and 480VAC.

MCBs are approved per IEC-898 and VDE 0641, and certified under
IEC-947 and VDE 0660 standards for use in systems rated 415VAC.

MCBs can be applied to 16

2/3Hz – 400Hz and DC power systems.

Continuous current ratings are as low as 0.2 amperes and up to 63
amperes maximum.

MCBs are of compact size and can be quickly mounted on standard
35mm DIN rail or can be front mounted by use of a front mounting kit.

MCBs include line and load side terminals for conductors from 18
through 4AWG (0.75 – 25

mm

2

).

MCBs can also be connected via busbar conductors which can be
either upper or lower mounted for top feed or bottom feed. Dual func­tion terminals allow busbars to be connected with main incoming line
conductors without separate lugs.

Accessories

Auxiliary devices can be added to S200 series MCBs:

• Shunt trips

• Auxiliary contacts

• Trip contacts

• Aux/trip contacts

• Undervoltage release

Accessory device modules can be field mounted to all above listed
ABB MCBs.

Applications

MCBs can be used for equipment protection, in commercial appli­ances, protection of control circuits against overcurrent faults, comput­er equipment and other computer peripheral devices.

UL 489 / CSA C22.2 NO5.0

S200U and S200UP MCBs are listed as molded case circuit breakers
for use as branch circuit devices. MCCBs and accessories are listed
under UL file E212323 and CSA file LR98793 certificate 1546332.

UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 NO235

S200 and S200P MCBs are recognized as supplementary protectors
and are intended for use as overcurrent protection within an appliance
or other electrical equipment where branch circuit overcurrent protec­tion is already provided or not required. MCBs and accessories are
recognized under UL File E76126 and CSA file LR98793 certificates
1530107 and 1546299.
