Overcurrent circuit breaker, 4P, C characteristic, 32A, 10kA, AC | S204M-C32 2CDS274001R0324

Electrical installation protection with ABB S204M-C32 circuit breaker

This four-pole circuit breaker from ABB with C characteristic is a reliable element protecting electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. Designed to work with 400V voltage, it provides effective protection in both AC and DC circuits. The rated current of 32A makes it ideal for securing circuits with medium loads, and the short-circuit breaking capacity of 10kA guarantees a quick response in emergency situations.

Construction and application

The S204M-C32 circuit breaker belongs to the S200M series, characterized by compact dimensions and easy mounting on a DIN rail. The C characteristic means a delayed reaction to short-term current surges, making it particularly useful in circuits with inductive loads, such as motors or transformers. This ensures that the device does not switch off unnecessarily when starting these devices, while still providing full protection against overload and short circuit. Its application in residential, commercial and industrial installations is wide – from protecting lighting and sockets in homes, to protecting more demanding circuits in workplaces.

Key features and benefits

• High short-circuit breaking capacity: 10kA at 230V and 15kA at 400V ensures quick and safe disconnection of the circuit in the event of a failure.
• C characteristic: Delayed reaction to short-term overloads allows for trouble-free starting of devices with motors or transformers.
• Wide operating temperature range: From -25°C to +55°C enables the use of the circuit breaker in various environmental conditions.
• DIN rail mounting: Facilitates and speeds up installation and ensures stable mounting.
• Compliance with IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2 standards: Guarantee of safety and reliability confirmed by certificates.
• Energy limitation class 3: Provides adequate protection against the effects of electric arc occurring during a short circuit.
• Conductor cross-sections: Possibility of connecting stranded conductors with a cross-section from 0.75 mm² to 25 mm² and solid conductors from 0.75 mm² to 35 mm².
• Width of 4 modules: Compact dimensions allow for efficient use of space in the switchgear cabinet.
