Why Choose the ABB SH201-B10 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB SH201-B10 is a compact and reliable single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect residential and similar electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the ABB Compact Home SH200 series, it combines thermal overload protection with electromagnetic short-circuit protection in a space-saving modular device.
This MCB features a Type B tripping characteristic, making it suitable for circuits with relatively low inrush currents such as lighting, socket outlets and general household loads. Its current-limiting design helps interrupt fault currents rapidly, while the DIN rail format simplifies installation in consumer units and distribution boards.
With a rated current of 10 A, a rated operational voltage of 230 V AC and a rated short-circuit capacity of 6 kA, the SH201-B10 provides dependable protection for everyday electrical installations. The SH200 range complies with IEC/EN 60898-1 for residential and similar applications.
