Why Choose the ABB E201/16G Switch Disconnector?
The ABB E201/16G is a compact single-pole switch disconnector designed for manual switching and electrical isolation in distribution boards, switchboards and control panels. Part of ABB's E200 modular switch range, it combines a 16 A rated current with a space-saving single-module DIN rail format.
The E201/16G has a 1NO contact configuration, a rated voltage of 230 V AC and a grey operating lever for clear manual control. It is suitable for commanding electrical loads and provides positive opening, making it a practical choice for professional modular electrical installations requiring dependable switching and isolation.
With a rated conditional short-circuit current of 25 kA, short-time withstand current of 2 kA and impulse withstand voltage of 4 kV, the E201/16G provides robust electrical performance in a compact package. ABB's practical E200 construction also enables fast removal without dismantling the busbar and supports the addition of up to three compatible S2C-H6R auxiliary contacts.

Reliable Single-Pole Switching and Electrical Isolation
The ABB E201/16G provides a straightforward means of manually switching and isolating a single conductor in an electrical installation. Its 16 A current rating and 230 V AC rating make it well suited to modular distribution and control applications, while AC-22A and AC-23A utilisation capability supports switching of appropriate resistive and inductive loads.
Installation and maintenance are simplified by captive terminal screws and ABB's fast-removal design, which enables the switch to be removed without first dismantling the busbar. Optional S2C-H6R auxiliary contacts can add supplementary signalling functions, while an available locking accessory can help prevent unauthorised ON/OFF operation.
Typical Applications
- Single-phase electrical distribution boards.
- Industrial switchboards and control panels.
- Manual switching and isolation of electrical loads.
- Commercial building electrical systems.
- Machinery and equipment isolation circuits.
- Modular switchgear and distribution assemblies.
- Maintenance isolation of downstream electrical equipment.
