What is the rated current for the S203-C6?
The S203-C6 has a rated current of 6 amperes (6A).
What does the 'C' in S203-C6 refer to?
The 'C' refers to the tripping characteristic curve. A Type C breaker is designed to trip between 5 and 10 times the rated current, making it suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting or small motor loads.
What is the breaking capacity of this circuit breaker?
The S200 series, including the S203-C6, has a breaking capacity of up to 6 kA at 230/400 V AC.
Can I use this circuit breaker in any country?
Yes, the S200 series complies with multiple international standards (IEC/EN, UL, CSA), allowing for worldwide use in installations that adhere to these standards.
How do I reset a tripped circuit breaker?
To reset a tripped breaker, ensure the fault has been cleared, then firmly push the lever back to the 'ON' position. If it trips again immediately, there is still an issue that needs to be addressed.
What materials are used in the construction of the S203-C6?
The circuit breaker is constructed from a combination of Metal and Plastic materials.
Are there any specific accessories recommended for this model?
ABB offers a range of accessories for the S200 series, such as auxiliary contacts, remote control units, and sealing covers. Refer to the official ABB S200 accessory catalog for specific compatibility.
Troubleshooting
Circuit breaker trips frequently
This usually indicates an overload or a short circuit. Check connected appliances for faults, reduce the load on the circuit, or inspect wiring for potential issues. If the problem persists, consult a qualified electrician.
Device does not trip under fault conditions
This is a critical safety issue. Do not use the circuit. Immediately switch off the main power and contact a qualified electrician for inspection and replacement.
Difficulty connecting wires
Ensure the wire is stripped to the correct length and is inserted fully into the terminal. Loosen the pressure plate screw sufficiently to accept the wire, then tighten securely.
Physical damage to the breaker
If the breaker appears cracked, burnt, or otherwise damaged, it must be replaced immediately by a qualified electrician.
