Branch-circuit protection for moderate-inrush loads
The ABB S202-C32 is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 32 A with a Trip Curve C characteristic, meaning it tolerates moderate inrush currents — typical for motor starters, small transformers, or lighting ballasts — before tripping magnetically at 5–10× rated current. The DIN-rail form factor snaps into a standard enclosure, so it replaces an existing S200-series unit without reworking the backplane.
Current-production status and sourcing posture
The S202-C32 carries a current lifecycle stage, so it remains in ABB's active catalog for new builds and BOM-freeze replacements alike.
Panel fit and peer comparison
The S202-C32 drops into the same DIN-rail footprint and uses the same 2-pole wiring scheme as the S202M-C25 (25 A, Curve C) — the only difference is the 32 A thermal rating, so a panel wired for the S202M-C25 accepts the S202-C32 without rewiring, provided the upstream protection and conductor sizing support the higher ampacity.
