Why Choose the ABB 2CDS211001R0505 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

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.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable single pole miniature circuit breaker for circuit protection.
  • 50 A rated current suitable for higher-load final circuits.
  • Type B tripping characteristic for standard electrical installations.
  • 6 kA short circuit breaking capacity for dependable protection.
  • Compact DIN rail mounting for fast installation.
  • Manufactured by ABB for long-term reliability and electrical safety.

Key Features

  • ABB SH200 miniature circuit breaker range.
  • SH201-B50 product type.
