Why Choose the ABB 2CDS211001R0504 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB 2CDS211001R0504, also known as the ABB SH201-C50, is a reliable single pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the ABB SH200 range, it delivers dependable circuit protection for domestic, commercial and light industrial distribution systems.
This miniature circuit breaker uses a thermal trip mechanism for overload protection and a magnetic trip mechanism for short circuit protection. Its compact modular design allows straightforward installation in consumer units, distribution boards and electrical enclosures.
With a 50 A current rating, Type C tripping characteristic and 6 kA breaking capacity, the ABB SH201-C50 is ideal for circuits with moderate inrush currents, including small motor circuits, lighting groups, power distribution and general electrical installations.
Key Advantages
Reliable single pole miniature circuit breaker for circuit protection.
50 A rated current suitable for higher-load circuits.
Type C tripping characteristic for moderate inrush current applications.
