Why Choose the ABB SH202-C6 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB SH202-C6 is a compact and reliable 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection for low-voltage electrical circuits. As part of the established ABB Compact Home SH200 MCB series, it combines delayed thermal tripping for overload protection with electromagnetic tripping for rapid protection against short circuits.
With a rated current of 6 A, a Type C tripping characteristic and a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA at 230/400 V AC, the SH202-C6 is suitable for circuits where moderate temporary inrush currents may occur. Its C-curve characteristic makes it suitable for general electrical distribution, control circuits and loads that can draw a brief starting current during normal operation.
The SH202-C6 features a 2-pole configuration with both poles protected, enabling simultaneous switching and protection of two conductors. With a rated operational voltage of 400 V AC and a compact two-module format, it is designed for DIN-rail installation within distribution boards, consumer units and electrical control panels. ABB order code 2CDS212001R0064 identifies this specific 6 A C-curve model within the SH200 range.
