Overview

The ABB S801S-C8 is a 1-pole circuit breaker designed for industrial and commercial applications requiring precise overload and short-circuit protection. Rated at 8A with a C-characteristic tripping curve, this device is optimized for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as motors, transformers, and lighting systems. It features a maximum breaking capacity of 50kA at 240/415V, ensuring reliable interruption of fault currents in low-voltage systems. The S801S-C8 supports AC voltages up to 400/690V and is also suitable for DC applications, making it versatile for diverse electrical systems. Protection is provided by a dual tripping mechanism: a thermal tripping unit for overload protection and an electromechanical tripping unit for short-circuit protection. This combination ensures fast response to both sustained overcurrents and instantaneous fault conditions, minimizing equipment damage and downtime. The device complies with IEC/EN 60947-2 standards, confirming its suitability for industrial environments and global deployment. Designed with cage terminals for secure wire connections, the S801S-C8 is compatible with ABB’s extensive range of accessories, including auxiliary contacts, shunt releases, and signaling devices, enhancing system integration and monitoring capabilities. The fast arc extinction characteristic of this breaker further improves safety by reducing the risk of arcing faults and associated hazards. Ideal for panelboard installations, motor control centers, and distribution boards, the S801S-C8 is a reliable choice for protecting sensitive and critical loads in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications. Its compact 1-pole design and global approvals make it a practical solution for worldwide deployment.
