ABB 2CDS211001R0505 SH201-B50 miniature circuit breaker with 50 A current rating, Type B tripping characteristic and 6 kA breaking capacity for reliable overload and short circuit protection.
£18.92
The ABB 2CDS211001R0505, also known as the ABB SH201-B50, is a dependable single pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the ABB SH200 range, it provides reliable protection for domestic, commercial and light industrial electrical distribution systems.
This miniature circuit breaker combines compact construction with effective current limiting performance. It uses a thermal trip mechanism for overload protection and a magnetic trip mechanism for rapid short circuit disconnection, helping protect wiring, connected equipment and electrical installations.
With a 50 A current rating, Type B tripping characteristic and 6 kA breaking capacity, the ABB SH201-B50 is well suited to standard circuits with low inrush currents, including lighting, socket circuits and general power distribution applications.
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect electrical circuits when excessive current or short circuit faults occur. This helps protect cables, electrical equipment and installations from overheating, damage and unsafe operating conditions.
The Type B characteristic of the ABB SH201-B50 makes it suitable for circuits with low inrush current. This makes it a practical choice for standard electrical loads commonly found in residential and commercial distribution systems.
