Why Choose the ABB S204C16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S204C16, also identified as S204-C16, is a premium four-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the trusted ABB System pro M compact S200 series, it provides dependable protection for residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations.
The circuit breaker incorporates a delayed thermal tripping mechanism for overload protection together with an electromechanical tripping mechanism for rapid short-circuit interruption. Its C-curve tripping characteristic makes it ideal for protecting distribution circuits, lighting installations, HVAC systems, control panels and equipment with moderate inrush currents.
With a rated current of 16 A, a four-pole configuration and a rated short-circuit capacity of 6 kA at 230/400 V AC, the S204C16 offers reliable protection for three-phase installations with neutral switching. Its compact modular design enables quick installation on standard 35 mm DIN rails within distribution boards and switchboards.
