2CDS214001R0164 ABB SH204-C16 MCB 6 kA 4P Type C 16 A

Why Choose the ABB SH204-C16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB SH204-C16 is a compact and reliable 4-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection in electrical installations. As part of the ABB SH200 MCB range, it combines a 16 A rated current, Type C tripping characteristic and 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity in a four-module DIN rail-mounted format.

The SH204-C16 provides dependable circuit protection using thermal and electromagnetic tripping mechanisms. The thermal mechanism responds to sustained overload conditions, while electromagnetic operation provides rapid interruption during short circuits. Its Type C characteristic makes it suitable for circuits where moderate inrush currents can occur during normal operation.

With a rated current of 16 A, a 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity and a 4-pole configuration, the SH204-C16 provides coordinated multipole protection for electrical distribution circuits. Its compact four-module construction and DIN rail mounting enable straightforward installation in residential, commercial and building distribution boards.
