Why Choose the ABB S401M-B6 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S401M-B6 is a compact and reliable single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit conditions. As part of the ABB SMISSLINE TP S400M series, it combines dependable circuit protection with the convenient plug-in architecture of the SMISSLINE TP distribution system.
This miniature circuit breaker uses thermal and electromagnetic tripping to protect cables and connected equipment from damaging overcurrents. Its Type B tripping characteristic is suited to circuits with relatively low inrush currents, making the S401M-B6 particularly appropriate for resistive loads, lighting circuits, control circuits and general electrical distribution.
With a rated current of 6 A, a rated short-circuit capacity of 10 kA and a 230 V AC rated operational voltage, the S401M-B6 provides robust protection in a space-saving one-module format. Direct connection to the SMISSLINE TP plug-in socket system helps simplify installation, replacement and distribution-board configuration.
