The ABB S403M-C40 is a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker from the S400 series, rated 40 A with Trip Curve C and a 10 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V AC. For a panel fed from a transformer with a known fault level under 10 kA, this holds — above that, you need an upstream current-limiting device or a higher-rated breaker. Mounts on standard DIN rail, so it clips into any 35 mm rail in the enclosure without extra hardware.

Frequently asked questions
What is the interrupting rating of the S403M-C40?
The S403M-C40 is rated for 10 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V AC. That means it can safely clear a short-circuit fault up to 10,000 A without failing.
What does Trip Curve C mean on this breaker?
Trip Curve C means the magnetic instantaneous trip activates at 5 to 10 times the rated current (200–400 A for this 40 A breaker). It is designed for general-purpose loads with moderate inrush — lighting, small motors, distribution panels — where you need to avoid nuisance trips on start-up.
Where can I buy the S403M-C40 and get current pricing?
The S403M-C40 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote to confirm current availability and pricing — no stock or price figures are published here.
