FAQ

The 'K' tripping curve is designed for circuits with high inrush currents, such as motors, transformers, and capacitor banks. It has a high magnetic trip point (typically 8 to 12 times the rated current) to prevent nuisance tripping on startup, while still providing short-circuit protection.

While the breaker shows a UL and CSA mark with a 277/480 V.a.c. rating, it is primarily designed and rated according to IEC 947-2 standards. You should always verify the specific application requirements and local electrical codes to ensure full compliance for use in North America.

The S2C-H6R is an ABB part number for a bottom-fitting auxiliary contact block. It's possible this specific breaker has this accessory factory-fitted or that the label is from an associated component. The primary device identification, however, is the S283NA-K6A printed on the front.
