Product Description
SB201M-C1.6 Miniature Circuit Breaker - 1P - C - 1.6 ASystem pro M compact SB200M Miniature Circuit Breakers are current limiting. They have two different tripping mechanisms, the delayed thermal tripping mechanism for overload protection and the electromechanic tripping mechanism for short circuit protection. They are available in different characteristics (B,C,D), configurations (1P,1P+N,2P,3P,3P+N,4P), breaking capacities (up to 10 kA at 240/415 V AC) and rated currents (up to 63A). All MCBs of the product range SB200M comply with IS/IEC 60898-1, allowing the use for residential, commercial and industrial applications.
Advanced Protection for Electric CircuitsEngineered with a tripping characteristic of Type C, the ABB SB201M-C1.6 effectively shields wiring and equipment from faults such as overloads and short circuits. Its impressive 6000 A breaking capacity allows it to handle sudden electrical surges, reducing the risk of damage in various installation environments.
Versatile and Reliable UsageSuitable for a wide range of applications-including domestic, commercial, and industrial scenarios-this MCB is built to meet demanding safety requirements. Its robust operating temperature range and high mechanical and electrical life make it ideal for both new and retrofit projects across India.
Effortless Installation and MaintenanceThe SB201M-C1.6 features a convenient DIN rail mounting system, ensuring straightforward installation. Large screw terminals offer secure connections for cables up to 25 mm2, while the compact, standard-size housing fits seamlessly into existing panels, aiding electricians and maintenance teams alike.
FAQ's of ABB Single Pole MCB/SB201M-C1.6:
Q: How is the ABB SB201M-C1.6 MCB installed in an electrical panel?
A: The ABB SB201M-C1.6 MCB is installed using its DIN rail mounting system, which allows quick and secure attachment to standard distribution boards. Wiring is connected via robust screw terminals that accommodate conductors up to 25 mm2. Ensure power is disconnected during installation and all wiring complies with local electrical codes.
Q: What types of applications are suitable for this miniature circuit breaker?
A: This MCB is designed for domestic, commercial, and industrial installations. Its robust protection and standard compliance make it ideal for homes, offices, factories, retail outlets, and other environments where reliable circuit protection is essential.
Q: When should this MCB be used instead of a Type B or D breaker?
A: The Type C tripping characteristic of this MCB is best suited for situations where moderate inrush currents are expected, such as in lighting or small motor circuits. It offers more tolerance than Type B (for purely resistive loads) and less than Type D (for heavy-duty loads), thus filling a versatile middle ground.
Q: Where does the SB201M-C1.6 comply with safety and performance standards?
A: This breaker is manufactured in accordance with IEC/EN 60898-1, a global standard that ensures reliable operation and safety in low-voltage circuits. It also carries an IP20 protection rating, making it suitable for indoor use in locations throughout India.
Q: What is the benefit of the device's high mechanical and electrical life?
A: With a mechanical life of over 20,000 operations and an electrical life exceeding 10,000 operations, this MCB ensures longevity and durable performance. This reduces the need for frequent replacements and minimizes maintenance, leading to lower long-term operational costs.
Q: How does its flame-retardant thermoplastic housing contribute to safety?
A: The high-quality, flame-retardant thermoplastic housing enhances safety by minimizing fire risk in case of electrical faults. This material is designed to withstand high temperatures without melting or releasing harmful substances, protecting both installations and occupants.
