Overcurrent circuit breaker, 1P, C characteristic, 16A, 25kA, AC | S301P-C16 2CDS381001R0164

Overcurrent circuit breaker – reliable protection for installations

This single-pole circuit breaker from ABB's S300P series is a key element of every safe electrical installation. Designed to protect circuits against overload and short circuit, it ensures continuous operation and minimizes the risk of failure. Characteristic C makes it ideal for circuits with devices generating short-term inrush currents, such as motors or transformers. Rated current of 16A and short-circuit breaking capacity of 25kA guarantee effective protection even in demanding conditions.

Construction and installation – simplicity and functionality

The S301P-C16 circuit breaker is mounted on a DIN rail, which simplifies and speeds up installation. Compact dimensions (1 module wide) allow for optimal use of space in the distribution box. The cross-section of the connected multi-wire cable up to 25 mm² and single-wire cable up to 35 mm² provides flexibility in connecting different types of cables. IP20 protection degree protects against accidental contact, increasing safety.

Key features and benefits

• Characteristic C: provides optimal protection for circuits with devices with high inrush current, allowing for trouble-free starting of motors and other loads.
• Short-circuit breaking capacity 25kA: guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit, minimizing the risk of damage and fire.
• DIN rail mounting: simplifies and speeds up installation, and also allows for easy replacement if necessary.
• Compact dimensions (1 module): allow for efficient use of space in the distribution box.
• Wide range of cable cross-sections: allows connection of different types of cables (multi-wire and single-wire).
• Compliance with standards: meets the requirements of IEC 60898-1 and IEC 60947-2 standards, which confirms its safety and reliability.
• Rated voltage 240V AC: universal application in standard electrical installations.
• Operating temperature 0…70°C: allows use in a wide range of ambient temperatures.
• Multi-wire cable connection cross-section: 0.75…25 mm²: allows adaptation to specific installation needs.

The S301P-C16 circuit breaker is a solid and reliable solution for professionals and home users who value safety and comfort. It is a direct replacement for the discontinued S201P-C16 model (cat. no. 2CDS281001R0164), which facilitates the modernization of existing installations.
