Why Choose the ABB S301P-Z16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB S301P-Z16 (2CDS381001R0468) is a premium single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide dependable protection against overloads and short circuits in demanding industrial electrical installations. As part of the renowned ABB System pro M compact S300P series, it combines a high breaking capacity with fast fault detection for sensitive electronic equipment and industrial control systems.

Featuring a Z tripping characteristic, the S301P-Z16 is engineered for applications requiring rapid magnetic tripping at relatively low fault-current levels. This makes it ideal for protecting PLCs, instrumentation, semiconductor equipment and other sensitive electronic devices where fast fault clearance is essential.

With a 16 A rated current, single-pole configuration and DIN rail mounting, this miniature circuit breaker is ideally suited to industrial control panels, OEM machinery, automation systems and commercial electrical installations requiring reliable circuit protection.

Key Advantages

  • Compact single-pole miniature circuit breaker for industrial applications.
  • 16 A rated current with Z tripping characteristic.
  • Fast protection for sensitive electronic and control circuits.
  • Reliable overload and short-circuit protection.
  • 25 kA breaking capacity for demanding industrial environments.
  • Simple DIN rail installation for rapid maintenance and replacement.

Key Features

  • ABB System pro M compact S300P series.
  • 16 A rated current.
  • Z tripping characteristic.
  • Single-pole (1P) configuration.
  • 240 V AC rated voltage.
  • 72 V DC rated voltage.
  • 25 kA ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity.
  • Thermal overload and magnetic short-circuit protection.
  • DIN rail mounting.
  • Compact 17.5 mm module width.

Fast Protection for Sensitive Industrial Equipment

Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect electrical circuits whenever overloads or short circuits occur, helping protect wiring, machinery and connected equipment from electrical damage. Their resettable design allows power to be restored quickly after the fault has been safely corrected.

The Z tripping characteristic is specifically intended for circuits containing sensitive electronic equipment where rapid magnetic tripping is required. It is commonly specified for PLC systems, instrumentation, semiconductor equipment and industrial automation controls where equipment protection is critical.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial control panels.
  • PLC and automation systems.
  • Instrumentation and monitoring equipment.
  • Sensitive electronic control circuits.
  • OEM machinery.
  • Industrial and commercial electrical distribution.
