ABB has combined the functionality of its miniature circuit breakers (MCB) with the proven technology of its earth fault circuit breakers (RCCB) and created a compact circuit breaker (RCBO).It maintains operational continuity for all unaffected circuits when an overcurrent or leakage current to earth is detected.The compact circuit breaker is one module wide and allows enclosure space to be reduced, allowing panel sizes to be reduced, yet still protect an electrical circuit, such as an outlet or lighting, with just one module.It saves space in a range of installations such as small to medium apartments, residential extensions and retrofitting.With the same protection and features as ABB's conventional circuit breakers, this more flexible RCBO, one of only two on the market, offers reduced power loss to limit unwanted heat inside the enclosure.It also comes with a dedicated ground fault indicator on the front and easy identification of operational problems to minimize disruption to the power supply."Saving space is an increasingly important condition for electrical installations.That's why we're always looking for ways to reduce the size of our products without compromising performance.When designing our most compact RCBO to date, we wanted to create a circuit breaker that was only one module wide, and we achieved this by combining the expertise and functionality of our existing portfolio of RCBOs together with the S200C mid-range circuit breaker series' Unibis technology,” says Jean-Philippe Garzon, Global Product Manager RCBO at ABB Electrification, and continues:"By making electrical products smaller, we can better meet the needs of the construction and residential markets.More compact components are ideal when space is at a premium and make room for further extensions or home/building automation later on.”DS301C with compact design is a voltage-independent phase + neutral circuit breaker.ABB (ABBN: SIX Swiss Ex) is a leading global technology company driving the transformation of society and industry to achieve a more productive and sustainable future.By connecting software with products in electrification, robotics, automation and exercise, ABB creates solutions that push the possibilities of technology to new heights.ABB's success is based on a long history of technical leadership that stretches back more than 130 years and is driven forward by around 105,000 skilled employees in more than 100 countries.www.abb.comTo note: This is a Swedish translation of ABB's English press release dated October 7, 2022, which can be read in its entirety at abb.com/news.If questions of interpretation arise, the English press release applies.Christine Gunnarsson Press Manager +46 21 32 32 32 press@se.abb.com
