1. הקדמה
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective installation, operation, and maintenance of the ABB S281-K0.3 Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB). Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting any installation or operation.
The ABB S281-K0.3 is a single-pole (1P) miniature circuit breaker with a K-type tripping characteristic, rated for 0.3 Amperes (0.3A) and suitable for 277VAC applications. It is designed to protect electrical circuits from overcurrents, which can result from overload or short circuit.

- Always disconnect power at the main supply before working on electrical circuits or installing the MCB.
- Ensure proper grounding and wiring according to local electrical codes and regulations.
- Do not operate the MCB if it appears damaged or has been subjected to excessive force.
- Verify that the MCB's ratings (current, voltage, tripping characteristic) match the requirements of the circuit it is protecting.

3. פּראָדוקט איבערview
The ABB S281-K0.3 MCB is a compact device designed for reliable circuit protection. Key features include:
- Single Pole (1P): Protects one phase of an electrical circuit.
- K-Type Tripping Characteristic: Designed for circuits with high inrush currents, such as those with motors or transformers, tripping between 8 and 12 times the rated current.
- רייטאַד קראַנט: 0.3 Ampערעס.
- רייטאַד וואָלtage: 277VAC.
- DIN רעלס מאָונטאַבלע: Facilitates easy installation in standard electrical enclosures.

It shows the ABB logo, model designation, current rating, and voltage rating on the front label, along with the toggle switch for operation.
4. ינסטאַלירונג
- מאַכט דיסקאַנעקשאַן: Ensure all power to the circuit is disconnected at the main distribution panel. Use a voltage tester to confirm the absence of voltage.
- מאָונטינג: Snap the MCB onto a standard 35mm DIN rail within an appropriate electrical enclosure. Ensure it is securely seated.
- וויירינג:
- Connect the incoming phase conductor to the top terminal of the MCB.
- Connect the outgoing load conductor to the bottom terminal of the MCB.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent loose contacts and overheating. Refer to the MCB's markings for correct terminal identification.
- וועראַפאַקיישאַן: Double-check all wiring for correctness and security. Ensure no bare wires are exposed.
- פֿאַרמאַכן פֿון אַרײַנשליסונג: Close the electrical enclosure securely.
- מאַכט רעסטאָראַטיאָן: Restore power to the main distribution panel.
5. אָפּעראַציע
The ABB S281-K0.3 MCB operates as a protective device for electrical circuits.
- אויף שטעלע: To energize the circuit, push the toggle switch to the "ON" (upward) position.
- אַוועק שטעלע: To de-energize the circuit manually, push the toggle switch to the "OFF" (downward) position.
- אויסגעשלאָסענע פּאָזיציע: If an overcurrent (overload or short circuit) occurs, the MCB will automatically trip, moving the toggle switch to an intermediate or "TRIPPED" position (often indicated by a central position or a visual indicator). This action disconnects the circuit to prevent damage.
- רעסעטטינג: After the MCB has tripped, identify and rectify the cause of the overcurrent. To reset the MCB, first push the toggle switch fully to the "OFF" position, then push it to the "ON" position. If the MCB trips immediately again, do not force it; investigate further for persistent faults.
6. וישאַלט
ABB S281-K0.3 MCBs are generally maintenance-free under normal operating conditions. However, periodic checks are recommended:
- וויסואַל דורכקוק: Periodically inspect the MCB for any signs of physical damage, discoloration, or loose connections.
- טערמינאַל טייטנאַס: Ensure all terminal connections remain tight. Loose connections can lead to overheating and potential hazards.

- רייניקונג: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the MCB with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
7. טראָובלעשאָאָטינג
| פּראָבלעם | מעגלעך סיבה | לייזונג |
|---|---|---|
| MCB trips frequently. | Overload in the circuit, short circuit, faulty appliance, incorrect MCB rating. | Reduce load, check for short circuits, inspect appliances, verify MCB rating is appropriate for the circuit. |
| MCB does not reset. | Persistent fault (short circuit or severe overload), internal MCB damage. | Ensure the fault is cleared before attempting to reset. If it still doesn't reset, the MCB may be damaged and require replacement. |
| MCB feels hot to the touch. | Overload, loose connections, incorrect wiring, internal fault. | Immediately disconnect power. Check for overload, tighten connections, verify wiring. If problem persists, replace MCB. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact a qualified electrician or ABB technical support.
