Why Choose the ABB S801S-C6 High-Performance MCB?
The ABB S801S-C6 is a single-pole, 6 A high-performance miniature circuit breaker with a Type C tripping characteristic, designed to protect industrial electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Part of ABB's S800S range, it combines high current-limiting performance with a compact DIN-rail format for demanding distribution and control applications.
The S801S-C6 provides an ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 50 kA at 240 V AC and can be used at operational voltages up to 400/690 V AC as well as 125 V DC. Its Type C characteristic makes it suitable for circuits with moderate switching or starting currents while maintaining dependable overload and short-circuit protection.
Protection is provided through two complementary mechanisms: a thermal release for overload protection and an electromagnetic release for short-circuit protection. Fast arc extinction and current-limiting operation help reduce fault energy, while the interchangeable cage terminal and clear ON/OFF/TRIP indication support efficient installation, operation and maintenance.
