Overcurrent circuit breaker, 1P+N, C characteristic, 16A, 6kA, AC | S201-C16NA 2CDS251103R0164

### Reliable protection of electrical installations

This single-pole plus neutral (1P+N) overcurrent circuit breaker from ABB’s S201 series is a key element of every safe electrical installation. Designed to protect circuits against the effects of overloads and short circuits, it provides reliable operation in both homes and commercial or light industrial facilities. Characteristic C makes it particularly well suited for circuits with receivers generating inrush currents, such as motors, transformers or discharge lighting.

This circuit breaker is distinguished by a high short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA at 230V and 400V (according to EN 60898 standard), which guarantees a quick response and effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a failure. The rated current of 16A allows for the protection of a wide range of devices and installations. Mounting is done on a standard DIN TH35 rail, and the compact width of 2 modules saves valuable space in the distribution board.

Design and application

The ABB S201-C16 circuit breaker has been designed with durability and reliability in mind. The housing made of high-quality insulating materials class I (RAL 7035) provides resistance to mechanical damage and external factors. The IP20 degree of protection protects against accidental contact, and the possibility of using an additional cover increases the level of safety to IP40. The device meets the requirements of IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2 standards, which confirms its compliance with European safety standards.

The application of the circuit breaker includes:

• Protection of lighting circuits
• Protection of socket outlets
• Protection of electrical devices with moderate inrush current
• Installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings
• TN and IT systems

Key features and benefits

• Characteristic C: ideal for circuits with receivers generating inrush currents – allows for momentary exceeding of the rated current without unnecessary tripping.
• Breaking capacity 6kA: ensures effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit, minimizing the risk of damage and fire.
• Compact dimensions (2 modules): saves space in the distribution board.
• DIN rail mounting: easy and quick mounting and dismantling.
• High quality workmanship: guarantees the durability and reliability of the device.
• Compliance with standards: confirmation of safety and compliance with European standards.
• Wire cross-section: possibility to connect wires with a cross-section from 0.75 mm² to 35 mm², both solid and stranded.
• Wide operating temperature range: from -25°C to +55°C – possibility of use in various environmental conditions.
