Reliable protection of electrical installations with ABB S204-C16 circuit breaker

ABB S204-C16 circuit breaker is a four-pole device designed to effectively protect electrical circuits against the effects of overloads and short circuits. This model, with characteristic C and rated current of 16A, finds application in installations of residential, commercial and industrial buildings. It is a key element ensuring safety of use and reliability of the entire installation.

Construction and parameters

The S204-C16 circuit breaker is distinguished by its solid construction and high quality workmanship, which guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free operation. Mounting is done on a standard DIN rail, which facilitates installation and integration with existing switchboards. The device is characterized by a high short-circuit breaking capacity – up to 6kA at 230V and 10kA at 400V – which ensures a quick response in emergency situations. Additionally, its compact dimensions (width of 4 modules) allow for efficient use of space in the switchboard.

This circuit breaker has been designed with an optimal rated current of 16A, making it an ideal solution for most standard circuits. Characteristic C provides protection against overloads and short circuits, allowing for short-term peak loads without unnecessary tripping, for example when starting motors. High short-circuit breaking capacity (Icn) of 6kA at 230V AC and 10kA at 400V AC guarantees effective protection of the installation. The four-pole design is ideal for three-phase installations and circuits requiring full phase separation. Compact width of 4 modules allows for space-saving in the switchboard. The device can operate in a wide range of ambient temperatures from -25°C to +55°C. The possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section from 0.75 mm² to 25 mm² (multi-stranded) and from 0.75 mm² to 35 mm² (solid) provides installation flexibility.

Application and compliance with standards

The ABB S204-C16 circuit breaker meets the stringent safety standards IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2, confirming its high quality and reliability. The device is perfect for protecting lighting circuits, socket outlets and other electrical receivers requiring protection against overloads and short circuits. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable solution for their home or business. The degree of protection IP20 provides protection against accidental contact with live parts.
