£21.48
The ABB S201-D16 is a robust single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide dependable protection against overloads and short circuits in residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations. As part of the proven ABB System pro M Compact S200 series, it delivers reliable performance, compact installation and long service life for modern electrical distribution systems.
Designed with advanced thermal and electromagnetic tripping mechanisms, the S201-D16 helps protect electrical wiring and connected equipment while ensuring rapid disconnection during fault conditions. Its compact DIN rail mounted design enables quick installation and seamless integration into distribution boards, switchboards and industrial control panels.
Featuring a 16 A rated current, D curve tripping characteristic and 6 kA breaking capacity, the ABB S201-D16 is particularly suited to circuits supplying equipment with high inrush currents, including transformers, motors, power supplies and inductive loads.
The ABB S201-D16 automatically disconnects electrical circuits when overloads or short circuits occur, helping protect cables, equipment and electrical installations from damage. Its thermal and magnetic tripping mechanisms provide dependable protection while maintaining reliable operation under normal conditions.
The D curve characteristic is specifically intended for circuits supplying equipment with high temporary starting currents. This makes the S201-D16 particularly suitable for motors, transformers, control equipment and other inductive loads commonly found in industrial applications.
