The ABB S202-K30 is a 30 A, 2-pole miniature circuit breaker with a Trip Curve K characteristic, rated at 277 VAC and a 6 kA interrupting capacity. Trip Curve K is the key spec here: it sits between B and C curves, with a magnetic trip threshold of 8–12x rated current. It's not for general lighting or resistive loads — those want a B or C curve. The 2-pole configuration protects both legs of a single-phase 277 VAC circuit or a 480Y/277 VAC line-to-neutral tap.
Deployment context
DIN rail mount means it integrates into a standard control panel enclosure — snaps onto the rail, shares the same busbar system as other modular devices. The 2-pole width takes up two 18 mm module spaces. In a cement plant or similar dusty environment, the sealed thermoplastic housing keeps the grit out of the trip mechanism; no breathing parts to clog. Rated for 277 VAC, so it handles the common control voltage in North American industrial panels without derating.
