The ABB S273-K25 is a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the System pro M compact® series, engineered for overcurrent and short-circuit protection in AC electrical systems. Rated at 25 A with a K tripping characteristic suited for circuits exhibiting higher inrush currents, this device delivers dual-mechanism protection: thermal tripping for overload conditions and magnetic tripping for short circuits. Fast breaking time of 2.5–3.5 msec ensures rapid fault isolation. Operating across 230/400 V AC with interrupting capacity to 15 kA per IEC/EN 60947-2 and 10 kA per UL 489, the S273-K25 provides reliable protection across residential, commercial, and industrial installations. Toggle actuation, finger-safe screw terminals accepting conductors from 0.75 mm² to 25 mm², and contact position indication (red/green CPI) enable intuitive operation and visual confirmation. Current-limiting technology and dual-function terminals supporting simultaneous busbar and cable connections simplify installation and retrofit flexibility. The unit mounts directly to DIN rail and operates reliably across −25 °C to +55 °C. R.I.Na. naval certification available.
