Why Choose the ABB 2CDS381001R0278 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB 2CDS381001R0278, also known as the S301P-Z2, is a premium single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the ABB System pro M compact S300P series. It is designed to provide dependable protection against overloads and short circuits in industrial electrical installations where highly sensitive electronic equipment requires extremely fast fault protection.

Featuring a Type Z tripping characteristic, the S301P-Z2 is specifically engineered for protecting PLCs, semiconductor devices, instrumentation, control circuits, measuring equipment and other sensitive electronic systems. Its very sensitive magnetic tripping characteristic rapidly disconnects low-level fault currents before damage can occur.

With a 2 A rated current, compact single-pole construction and a 25 kA rated short-circuit breaking capacity, the ABB 2CDS381001R0278 delivers exceptional circuit protection whilst occupying only one DIN module, making it ideal for industrial automation and control panels.

Key Advantages

  • 2 A rated current for sensitive low-current protection.
  • Type Z tripping characteristic for electronic equipment.
  • 25 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.
  • Ideal for PLCs, instrumentation and semiconductor equipment.
  • Thermal overload and magnetic short-circuit protection.
  • Compact one-module DIN rail design.
  • Compatible with ABB System pro M compact accessories.

  • Fail-safe terminals.
  • 35 mm DIN rail mounting.

Ultra-Sensitive Type Z Circuit Protection

The ABB S301P-Z2 is specifically developed for protecting highly sensitive electronic circuits. Its thermal release protects against overload conditions, while its highly sensitive magnetic release rapidly disconnects low-level fault currents before damage can occur to valuable electronic equipment.

The Type Z characteristic trips magnetically at approximately two to three times the rated current, making it ideal for PLC systems, laboratory equipment, instrumentation, semiconductor devices and precision industrial control systems where rapid fault clearance is essential.

Typical Applications

  • PLC and automation systems.
  • Electronic control panels.
  • Instrumentation circuits.
  • Laboratory equipment.
  • Semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
  • Measuring devices.
  • Sensitive electronic equipment.
  • Industrial automation systems.
