Why Choose the ABB DS201C16APR30 RCBO?
The ABB DS201C16APR30, type designation DS201 C16 APR30, is a compact 1P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to protect single-phase circuits against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults. As part of the ABB DS201 RCBO range, it combines overcurrent and residual-current protection in a single protective device.
This RCBO features a 16 A rated current, C tripping characteristic and APR residual-current protection. Its rated residual operating current of 30 mA provides sensitive residual-current protection, while ABB APR technology is designed for increased resistance to unwanted tripping caused by transient disturbances.
With a 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity and a 1P+N configuration, the DS201 C16 APR30 provides combined circuit and residual-current protection in one unit. ABB order code 2CSR255480R1164 identifies this specific 16 A, C-characteristic, 30 mA APR variant.
Key Advantages
- Combines overcurrent and residual-current protection in one RCBO.
- 16 A rated current with C tripping characteristic.
- 30 mA APR residual-current protection.
- APR technology provides increased resistance to unwanted tripping from transient disturbances.

APR Residual-Current Protection
ABB APR residual-current protection is designed to provide enhanced immunity to transient disturbances compared with conventional instantaneous residual-current protection. This can help reduce unwanted tripping in installations where switching operations, electronic equipment or other transient phenomena may otherwise affect continuity of service.
The ABB DS201 C16 APR30 combines this APR residual-current functionality with C-characteristic overcurrent protection, a 16 A rating and 30 mA residual-current sensitivity, providing coordinated protection against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults.
Typical Applications
- Single-phase electrical distribution circuits.
- Electrical control and auxiliary circuits.
- Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
- Circuits containing electronic equipment or switching loads.
- Distribution boards and control panels.
- Circuits requiring combined overcurrent, residual-current and enhanced nuisance-tripping resistance.
