£20.51
The ABB S201-C40 is a premium single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the ABB System pro M compact S200 range. It is engineered to provide dependable protection against overloads and short circuits in low-voltage electrical installations, combining thermal-magnetic tripping technology with a compact modular design for professional applications.
With a 40 A rated current and a Type C tripping characteristic, the S201-C40 is ideal for circuits supplying equipment with moderate inrush currents, including motors, compressors, pumps, transformers and HVAC systems. Its current-limiting design helps reduce fault energy, protecting cables and connected equipment.
Compliant with IEC/EN 60898-1, IEC/EN 60947-2 and UL 1077, the ABB S201-C40 provides a 6 kA rated short-circuit breaking capacity and forms part of the versatile ABB System pro M compact range, compatible with auxiliary contacts and other modular accessories.
The ABB S201-C40 combines thermal overload protection with rapid electromagnetic short-circuit protection to provide dependable performance under demanding operating conditions. Its Type C tripping curve allows temporary starting currents from inductive loads while ensuring rapid disconnection during genuine fault conditions.
Designed for residential, commercial and industrial installations, the S201-C40 integrates seamlessly with ABB System pro M compact accessories, enabling flexible and expandable electrical distribution systems.
