Why Choose the ABB SH201M-D4 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB SH201M-D4 is a compact and reliable single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the ABB SH200M MCB series, it provides dependable thermal-magnetic protection for electrical distribution and control applications.
Featuring a 4 A rated current, Type D tripping characteristic and 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the SH201M-D4 is particularly suited to circuits containing equipment with higher starting or inrush currents. The D characteristic helps prevent unwanted tripping during normal equipment start-up while maintaining effective overcurrent protection.
The single-pole format provides a space-efficient solution for protecting individual circuits, while standard DIN-rail mounting simplifies integration into electrical distribution boards and control panels. ABB's SH200M range is designed for straightforward installation and dependable circuit protection across residential, commercial and industrial applications.

Reliable Protection for High-Inrush Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB SH201M-D4 automatically disconnect a circuit when excessive current results from an overload or short circuit. Thermal protection responds to sustained overload conditions, while magnetic operation provides rapid disconnection under severe short-circuit conditions.
The Type D characteristic is designed for circuits where normal starting currents can be substantially higher than the continuous operating current. This makes the SH201M-D4 particularly useful for suitable inductive and high-inrush loads while providing the dependable circuit protection expected from ABB's modular MCB range.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels.
- Control and auxiliary circuits.
- Circuits supplying inductive loads with high starting currents.
- Transformers and suitable power supplies.
- Commercial electrical distribution systems.
- Machinery and automation electrical panels.
