The 6 kA interrupting rating at 277 VAC (line-to-neutral on a 480Y/277 V system) is sized for branch-circuit protection in a panelboard or sub-distribution board. DIN-rail mount snaps into the standard 35 mm rail; the 2-pole form factor occupies two module widths (about 36 mm). The 2-pole width (two 18 mm modules) leaves room alongside other S200-series breakers, contactors, or terminal blocks on the same rail. Rated for 277 VAC phase-to-neutral, so it fits 480Y/277 V distribution panels where each pole protects one phase conductor. ## Trip Curve C — what it means for the load Curve C (5–10× In) is the default choice for circuits with moderate inrush: lighting banks, small motor starters, control transformers, and general receptacle loads. It avoids nuisance tripping on the inrush of a 13 A load while still clearing a hard short within the 6 kA rating. If the load is purely resistive with no inrush, Curve B would be tighter; if it is a large motor or welder with high inrush, Curve D would be preferred. For a 13 A general-purpose branch, Curve C is the standard fit.","metaTitle":"ABB S202-C13 Miniature Circuit Breaker, 2P, 13A, Curve C","metaDescription":"ABB S202-C13 miniature circuit breaker, 2-pole, 13 A, Trip Curve C, 277 VAC, 6 kA interrupting rating.
