Why Choose the ABB E201/40R Switch Disconnector?
The ABB E201/40R is a compact single-pole switch disconnector designed for manual switching and isolation of electrical loads in low-voltage distribution systems. Part of the ABB E200 series, it combines a 40 A rated current with a space-saving modular format for residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations.
The E201/40R provides a single normally open switching contact and features a distinctive red operating handle for clear manual control. Its modular design supports fast removal without dismantling an installed busbar, while captive terminal screws and compatibility with ABB auxiliary contacts simplify installation, maintenance and status signalling.
With a 230 V AC single-pole rating, low 0.70 W power loss and compact 17.5 mm single-module width, the E201/40R integrates efficiently into DIN-rail distribution boards and control panels. Manufactured for switching and isolation duties in accordance with IEC/EN 60947-3, it provides dependable manual control for professional low-voltage systems.

Compact Manual Switching and Circuit Isolation
Switch disconnectors such as the ABB E201/40R provide a dedicated means of manually switching and isolating electrical loads. Unlike an automatic circuit breaker, the E201/40R is intended primarily for switching and disconnection, making it suitable where a clearly identifiable local isolation point is required within a modular electrical distribution system.
The ABB E200 design also supports efficient installation and maintenance. The device can be removed without dismantling an installed busbar, while captive screws reduce the risk of loose components during installation. Up to three compatible S2C-H6R auxiliary contacts can be added for signalling purposes, and an optional locking device can help prevent unauthorised switching.
Typical Applications
- Single-phase circuit switching and isolation.
- Residential electrical distribution boards.
- Commercial building electrical systems.
- Industrial control and distribution panels.
- Manual isolation of downstream electrical equipment.
- Local switching of electrical loads.
