2CDS212001R0324 ABB SH202-C32 MCB 6kA 2P Type C 32A

Why Choose the ABB SH202-C32 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB SH202-C32 is a compact and reliable 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection for low-voltage electrical circuits. As part of the established ABB Compact Home SH200 MCB series, it is a current-limiting circuit breaker combining delayed thermal tripping for overload protection with electromagnetic tripping for rapid protection against short circuits.

With a rated current of 32 A, a Type C tripping characteristic and a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA at 230/400 V AC, the SH202-C32 is suitable for circuits where moderate temporary inrush currents may occur. Its C-curve characteristic makes it suitable for general electrical distribution and selected loads such as lighting, small motors and other equipment that can draw a brief starting current during normal operation.

The SH202-C32 features a 2-pole configuration with two protected poles, enabling simultaneous switching and protection of two conductors. With a rated operational voltage of 400 V AC and a compact two-module format, it is designed for DIN-rail installation within consumer units, distribution boards and electrical control panels. ABB order code 2CDS212001R0324 identifies this specific 32 A C-curve model within the SH200 range.

Reliable Overcurrent Protection for Electrical Installations

Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB SH202-C32 protect electrical circuits, cables and connected equipment against excessive current. A delayed thermal release responds to sustained overload conditions, while the electromagnetic release provides rapid disconnection when a short circuit occurs.

The Type C characteristic is suitable for circuits where moderate temporary inrush currents can occur during normal operation. Combined with its 32 A rating, two protected poles, 6 kA breaking capacity and compact DIN-rail format, the SH202-C32 provides dependable protection for residential and similar low-voltage electrical installations.

Typical Applications

• Residential consumer units and distribution boards.
• General low-voltage electrical distribution circuits.
• Lighting and power circuits.
• Circuits supplying selected motors and inductive loads.
• Electrical control panels and modular enclosures.
• Applications requiring simultaneous 2-pole circuit protection.
