2CCS861001R0161 ABB S801S-D16 MCB 50 kA 1P Type D 16 A

Why Choose the ABB S801S-D16 MCB?

The ABB S801S-D16 is a high-performance 1-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide dependable overload and short-circuit protection in demanding electrical installations. As part of the ABB S800S high-performance circuit breaker range, it combines a rated current of 16 A, Type D tripping characteristic and a high 50 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.

The S800S platform is designed for applications requiring substantial fault-current interruption capability in a compact modular format. The S801S-D16 provides automatic protection against sustained overloads and short circuits, making it suitable for professional industrial distribution, machinery and control-panel applications.

With its Type D characteristic, the S801S-D16 is particularly suited to circuits supplying equipment with high starting or inrush currents, such as motors, transformers and other inductive loads. Its combination of a 16 A rating and 50 kA breaking capacity provides robust protection for demanding single-pole circuits.

High-Performance Protection for High-Inrush Loads

Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect protected circuits when excessive current results from an overload or short circuit. This helps protect conductors, equipment and electrical installations from the potentially damaging thermal and electromagnetic effects associated with overcurrent conditions.

The Type D characteristic of the ABB S801S-D16 makes it appropriate for applications where normal equipment operation can produce substantial transient starting currents. Combined with its 50 kA breaking capacity, the breaker provides high-performance protection for demanding industrial circuits.

Typical Applications

• Industrial electrical distribution systems.
• Motor and machinery circuits.
• Transformer and inductive-load circuits.
• Industrial control panels and switchboards.
• Equipment with high starting or inrush currents.
• Installations requiring high short-circuit breaking capacity.
