£77.63
The ABB DSE201 B16 A30 is a compact 1P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) that provides comprehensive protection against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults within a single DIN rail mounted device. Part of ABB's trusted DSE201 series, it is designed for residential and light commercial installations where space-saving protection and dependable performance are essential.
Featuring a B tripping characteristic and Type A residual current protection, the DSE201 B16 A30 detects both alternating sinusoidal and pulsating DC residual currents, making it suitable for modern electrical installations supplying appliances with electronic controls, LED lighting, white goods and general-purpose socket circuits.
With a 16 A rated current, 30 mA residual current sensitivity and a 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the ABB DSE201 B16 A30 delivers reliable circuit protection while occupying just one DIN rail module, helping maximise available space within consumer units and distribution boards.
The ABB DSE201 B16 A30 combines thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection with advanced residual current protection to disconnect electrical circuits whenever overloads, short circuits or earth leakage faults occur. This helps protect people, wiring systems and connected electrical equipment from potentially hazardous electrical faults.
Its Type A residual current capability makes it particularly suitable for today's installations containing electronic appliances and equipment that can generate pulsating DC leakage currents, offering greater application flexibility than conventional Type AC devices.
