Why Choose the ABB SH202-B40 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB SH202-B40 is a compact and reliable 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the ABB SH200 series, it provides dependable thermal-magnetic circuit protection for residential, commercial and similar electrical distribution applications.
Featuring a Type B tripping characteristic, the SH202-B40 is suitable for general-purpose circuits with relatively low starting or inrush currents. Its 2-pole configuration provides simultaneous switching and overcurrent protection across both poles, making it suitable for appropriately designed circuits requiring two-pole disconnection.
With a rated current of 40 A and a 6 kA rated short-circuit breaking capacity, the SH202-B40 is well suited to higher-current circuits where dependable Type B protection and two-pole switching are required.
