Why Choose the ABB S801S-B16 High Performance MCB?
The ABB S801S-B16 is a high-performance miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide reliable overload and short-circuit protection in demanding electrical distribution systems. As part of the ABB S800S high-performance circuit breaker series, it combines compact modular construction with high current-limiting capability for residential, commercial and industrial installations.
This circuit breaker features a Type B tripping characteristic, making it particularly suitable for circuits with relatively low inrush currents. Separate thermal and electromechanical tripping mechanisms provide protection against sustained overloads and short circuits, while the S800S design provides rapid arc extinction to help minimise fault energy.
With a rated current of 16 A, a 1-pole configuration and a maximum ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 50 kA at 240/415 V AC, the S801S-B16 provides high fault-current performance in a compact DIN-rail format. ABB order code 2CCS861001R0165 identifies this specific S800S Type B model.

Reliable High-Performance Circuit Protection
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S801S-B16 automatically disconnect electrical circuits when excessive current occurs. Its thermal tripping mechanism provides protection against sustained overloads, while the electromechanical tripping mechanism responds rapidly to short-circuit faults, helping protect conductors, connected equipment and the wider electrical installation.
The S800S series is engineered for applications where high prospective fault currents require enhanced interruption capability. Its current-limiting design and rapid arc extinction reduce the fault energy passed downstream, while the S801S-B16's Type B characteristic makes it particularly appropriate for circuits without substantial switching or starting-current peaks.
Typical Applications
- Residential and commercial electrical distribution.
- Industrial electrical distribution boards.
- Machine and automation control panels.
- Lighting and resistive load circuits.
- Control and auxiliary circuits.
- Installations with high prospective short-circuit currents.
