Why Choose the ABB S201M-C8 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB S201M-C8 is a compact and highly reliable single 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 S200M series, it provides dependable circuit protection for residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations.

Featuring a C curve tripping characteristic, the S201M-C8 is suitable for general purpose circuits and loads with moderate inrush currents. Its delayed thermal trip mechanism provides overload protection, while the electromechanical trip mechanism responds quickly to short circuit faults.

With a rated current of 8 A, single pole configuration and 10 kA breaking capacity, the ABB S201M-C8 is ideal for lighting circuits, control circuits, distribution boards and industrial panels. Its compact DIN rail mounted format enables straightforward installation in modern electrical enclosures.

Key Advantages

  • Compact single pole miniature circuit breaker for circuit protection.
  • 8 A rated current suitable for low current and control circuits.
  • C curve tripping characteristic for general electrical loads.
  • 10 kA short circuit breaking capacity.
  • Thermal overload and electromechanical short circuit protection.
  • Compatible with ABB System pro M compact accessories.

Key Features

  • ABB System pro M compact S200M series.
  • 8 A rated current.
  • Single pole (1P) configuration.
