Why Choose the ABB SH202-B32 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB SH202-B32 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 B tripping characteristic and a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA, the SH202-B32 is suitable for circuits where relatively low inrush currents are expected. Its B-curve characteristic makes it particularly appropriate for residential and similar electrical installations, including general distribution, lighting and other conventional loads.
The SH202-B32 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 compact dimensions of approximately 85 × 35 × 69 mm, it is designed for standard DIN-rail installation within consumer units, distribution boards and electrical enclosures. ABB order code 2CDS212001R0325 identifies this specific 32 A B-curve model within the SH200 range.

Reliable Overcurrent Protection for Electrical Installations
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB SH202-B32 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 B characteristic is well suited to general circuits where substantial starting currents are not normally expected. Combined with its 32 A rating, two protected poles, 6 kA short-circuit capacity and compact DIN-rail format, the SH202-B32 provides practical circuit 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 conventional electrical loads.
- Residential and similar electrical installations.
- Electrical panels and modular enclosures.
- Applications requiring simultaneous 2-pole circuit protection.
