How to Install the ABB SUP403M-K8 Miniature Circuit Breaker

Step-by-step guide to installing the ABB SUP403M-K8 pluggable miniature circuit breaker on a DIN rail.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver (POZI 2 recommended), DIN rail

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws (if not pre-installed)

  1. Prepare the DIN rail

    Ensure the DIN rail is clean and properly aligned in the electrical panel. Verify that the panel meets the required mounting position specifications (any position is acceptable).

  2. Mount the circuit breaker

    Position the SUP403M-K8 on the DIN rail. Apply even pressure to snap the breaker into place until it locks securely. Ensure the breaker is flush against the rail for proper alignment.

  3. Connect the wiring

    Connect the phase wire to the breaker’s top or bottom terminal, ensuring the wire size is within the specified range (1-50 mm² flexible or 1-70 mm² solid). Tighten the terminal screws to a torque of 3.5 Nm (31 in-lbs) using a POZI 2 screwdriver.

  4. Verify installation

    Check that the breaker is securely mounted and the wiring is properly connected. Confirm the contact position indicator (CPI) shows green (OFF) when the breaker is in the off position and red (ON) when in the on position.
