Overcurrent circuit breaker, 1P, C characteristic, 1.6A, 6kA, AC | S201-C1.6 2CDS251001R0974

Single-pole overcurrent circuit breaker S201-C1.6 is a product from the S200 series by ABB, designed to protect electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. The use of characteristic C makes this circuit breaker perform well with impulse loads, such as starting motors or transformers – it allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, while still providing effective protection against long-term overloads.

This compact, one-module-wide (18mm) circuit breaker can be used in both home and commercial installations. Its versatility results from compliance with EN 60898-1 and EN 60947-2 standards, which guarantees safety and reliability. Mounting on a DIN rail is simple and intuitive, making it easier for installers.

The S201-C1.6 circuit breaker offers a rated current of 1.6A and a high short-circuit breaking capacity – up to 6kA at 230V and 10kA at 400V (according to IEC 60947-2). This ensures effective protection of the circuit against damage caused by sudden current increases. Energy limitation class 3 and overvoltage category III indicate its resistance to disturbances in the electrical network.

• Overload and short-circuit protection: Characteristic C provides optimal protection for devices generating surge currents during startup.
• Compact dimensions: One-module width allows for efficient use of space in the switchgear cabinet.
• Versatility: Compliance with EN 60898-1 and EN 60947-2 standards enables use in various types of installations.
• High short-circuit breaking capacity: Ensures safety even in the event of serious failures.
• Easy installation: DIN rail mounting is quick and easy for professionals.
• Wide operating temperature range: From -25°C to +55°C allows operation in difficult environmental conditions.

This circuit breaker is designed to operate in networks with a rated voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50-60Hz, and its insulation voltage Ui is 440V AC. The possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section from 0.75 mm² to 35 mm² (solid) or from 0.75 mm² to 25 mm² (stranded) provides flexibility when selecting power supply cables. The IP20 degree of protection prevents touching with a finger, but does not provide protection against the effects of water or dust – therefore, the device should be mounted in a protective housing.
