Why Choose the ABB 2CDS381001R0204 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB 2CDS381001R0204, also known as the S301P-C20, is a high-performance single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the ABB System pro M compact S300P series. It is designed to protect industrial and commercial electrical installations against overloads and short circuits while providing the high fault-interruption capability required in demanding applications.

The S301P-C20 combines thermal overload protection with electromagnetic short-circuit protection. Its Type C tripping characteristic accommodates moderate starting currents, making it suitable for circuits supplying equipment such as small motors, transformers, fluorescent lighting and industrial control devices.

With a 20 A rated current, a compact single-pole configuration and a short-circuit breaking capacity of up to 25 kA, the ABB 2CDS381001R0204 provides dependable protection without occupying unnecessary panel space. Tool-free DIN rail mounting, a front-facing trip indicator and compatibility with System pro M compact accessories further simplify installation and maintenance.

Key Advantages

  • 20 A circuit protection for industrial and commercial installations.
  • Type C tripping characteristic accommodates moderate equipment inrush currents.
  • 25 kA breaking capacity for installations with high prospective fault currents.
  • Front-facing trip indication helps distinguish fault operation from manual switching.
  • Compact single-module format conserves distribution-board and control-panel space.
  • DIN rail mounting supports fast installation, removal and maintenance.

Key Features

  • ABB System pro M compact S300P series.
  • S301P-C20 model designation.
  • 20 A rated current.
  • Single-pole (1P) configuration.
  • Type C tripping characteristic.
  • 25 kA rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity.
  • Thermal and electromagnetic tripping mechanisms.
  • Patented screw-terminal design with pressure plate.
  • Integrated front trip indicator.
  • Compatible with ABB System pro M compact accessories.

Reliable Type C Protection for Equipment Circuits

The ABB S301P-C20 automatically disconnects the protected circuit when it detects a sustained overload or a high short-circuit current. Its thermal element responds to prolonged overcurrent conditions, while its electromagnetic mechanism provides rapid interruption during short circuits.

A Type C miniature circuit breaker is designed to tolerate higher temporary starting currents than a Type B device. This helps reduce nuisance tripping when energising equipment with moderate inrush currents while maintaining dependable protection for cables, machinery and connected electrical devices.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial control panels.
  • Commercial distribution boards.
  • Small motors and motor-control circuits.
  • Transformers and power supplies.
  • Fluorescent and LED lighting circuits.
  • HVAC and building-services equipment.
  • OEM machinery and automation systems.
  • General-purpose industrial electrical circuits.
