Product details

Rated 480Y/277 VAC with a 6 kA interrupting capacity, it mounts on standard DIN rail for panel integration. It's a supplemental protector per UL 1077 and CSA 22.2 — meaning it backs up a branch-circuit overcurrent device rather than serving as the sole disconnect.

The 32 A rating and Trip Curve K target inductive loads — motors, transformers, solenoids — where inrush current can be several times the full-load amps. Curve K trips magnetically at 8 to 12 times rated current, so it holds through motor start-up without nuisance tripping, unlike a Curve C (5 to 10x) that might drop out on a hard start. The 3-pole configuration handles three-phase circuits, common for 480Y/277 VAC motor branch feeds.

Compliance documentation

Listed under UL 1077 and CSA 22.2 as a supplemental protector. That means it's recognized for use within equipment (panelboards, control panels, machine disconnects) but not as a branch-circuit overcurrent device under NEC Article 240. The S200 series typically carries CE marking for IEC 60898 / 60947-2 compliance as well, though the evidence here confirms the North American approvals directly.

Frequently asked questions

What is S203-K32's amp rating and trip curve?

It is rated 32 A with Trip Curve K, meaning it allows 8 to 12 times the rated current for magnetic trip — suited for motor and transformer branch protection where inrush is high.

Will S203-K32 drop into a panel specified for S203-C8?

Yes, same 3-pole DIN rail footprint and 480Y/277 VAC rating, so it fits mechanically. But the trip curve and amp rating differ: S203-C8 is 8 A with Curve C (5 to 10x inrush). Do not substitute without verifying the branch circuit's overload and short-circuit protection requirements.

What compliance documentation does S203-K32 carry?

It is listed under UL 1077 and CSA 22.2 as a supplemental protector. The S200 series also typically meets CE marking for IEC standards.

Where can I buy S203-K32 and what is the lead time?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or lead-time estimate is published here.
