Why Choose the ABB S801N-C20 High Performance MCB?
The ABB S801N-C20 is a high-performance single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits where a high breaking capacity is required. As part of the ABB S800N high-performance circuit breaker series, it provides robust protection for demanding commercial and industrial electrical applications.
The S801N-C20 provides an ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu) of 36 kA at 240/415 V AC and a rated short-circuit capacity (Icn) of 20 kA. Its Type C tripping characteristic is suitable for resistive and inductive loads with relatively low inrush currents, providing dependable protection without unnecessary tripping during normal operation.
With a rated current of 20 A, single-pole construction and an interchangeable cage terminal, the S801N-C20 combines compact installation with high fault-breaking capability. ABB order code 2CCS891001R0204 identifies this specific S800N configuration.

High-Performance Circuit Protection
The ABB S800N range is designed for the protection and control of electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits where high breaking capacity is required. Type C versions are intended for resistive and inductive loads with relatively low inrush currents and are suitable for commercial and industrial installations where dependable circuit protection and high fault-breaking capability are important.
The S801N-C20 combines a 20 A rating, Type C characteristic and 36 kA Icu at 240/415 V AC in a compact single-pole format. Its current-limiting construction and high breaking capacity make it particularly useful where prospective short-circuit currents exceed the capabilities of conventional miniature circuit breakers.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical distribution boards.
- Commercial electrical distribution systems.
- Machinery and control-panel circuits.
- Resistive and inductive loads with relatively low inrush currents.
- Installations requiring selectivity with upstream moulded-case circuit breakers.
- Back-up protection arrangements for downstream miniature circuit breakers.
