Quality and sustainability

Our MCBs are built to last. We achieve this through an uncompromising


commitment to quality. We use only the finest components and
materials. All materials comply with EU (RoHS, REACH) standards for
sustainability and are halogen-free. Every unit is inspected three times
before it leaves our facilities.
Our reputation for innovation, quality and performance is built into every ABB circuit breaker with these
patented features:

Trip curve information

Trip curves are an essential part of the System pro M compact miniature circuit breaker
offering. Manufacturing tolerance of the short circuit tripping function allows a
miniature circuit breaker to be selected according to the application. When selecting
a trip curve for the application, load type and inrush current are driving factors in the
selection process. System pro M compact circuit breakers offer up to five trip curves
to meet varying applications.

Below is a visual summary of the trip curves (per Typical loads by trip curve
standard) and typical load types, along with the Z Curve
tripping range as compared to the nominal current. • Designed to protect circuits that need a very low
