Why Choose the ABB S201-C2 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S201-C2 is a compact single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the ABB System pro M compact S200 range. Designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits, it combines dependable thermal-magnetic operation with a space-saving modular format for residential, commercial and industrial installations.
With a 2 A rated current and a Type C tripping characteristic, the S201-C2 is suitable for low-current circuits that may experience moderate inrush currents. Typical applications include control circuits, instrumentation, building automation, signalling equipment and auxiliary electrical systems.
The ABB S201-C2 provides a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA at 230/400 V AC in accordance with IEC/EN 60898-1. It also offers an ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 10 kA under IEC/EN 60947-2, making it a reliable choice for professional electrical distribution and control applications.
Key Advantages
- Reliable 2 A circuit protection for low-current electrical loads.

Dependable Protection for Control and Auxiliary Circuits
The ABB S201-C2 uses two complementary tripping mechanisms to deliver dependable circuit protection. Its delayed thermal release responds to sustained overload conditions, while the electromagnetic release rapidly disconnects the circuit during a short circuit.
The Type C characteristic allows the breaker to accommodate moderate starting currents without unnecessary tripping. This makes it particularly useful in control panels, automation systems and auxiliary circuits containing components such as contactors, relays, small transformers and power supplies.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels.
- Building automation systems.
- Instrumentation circuits.
- Alarm and signalling equipment.
- Auxiliary power circuits.
- Small transformers and power supplies.
