2CCS891001R0065 ABB S801N-B6 High Performance MCB 36 kA 1P Type B 6 A

Why Choose the ABB S801N-B6 High Performance MCB?

The ABB S801N-B6 is a high-performance single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide dependable overload and short-circuit protection in demanding electrical distribution systems. As part of the ABB S800N high-performance circuit breaker series, it combines high breaking capacity, effective current limitation and robust construction for commercial and industrial electrical installations.

This circuit breaker features a B tripping characteristic and a rated current of 6 A, making it particularly suitable for circuits with relatively low starting or inrush currents. Thermal tripping provides overload protection, while an electromechanical release provides rapid protection against short-circuit faults.

With a single protected pole and a high short-circuit breaking capacity of 36 kA, the S801N-B6 is designed for installations where substantial prospective fault currents may occur. Its current-limiting operation and rapid arc extinction help reduce let-through fault energy and the associated thermal and mechanical stresses on electrical equipment.

High-Performance Circuit Protection

The ABB S800N range is designed to protect cables, conductors and electrical equipment against overload and short-circuit currents in installations where high breaking performance is required. Thermal overload protection works together with an electromechanical short-circuit release to provide effective protection across different electrical fault conditions.

The B characteristic of the S801N-B6 makes it suitable for circuits with relatively low inrush currents, including many resistive, lighting and general distribution loads. Combined with its 36 kA breaking capacity and current-limiting design, the breaker provides robust protection for demanding commercial and industrial electrical systems.
