Why Choose the ABB SH203-C6 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB SH203-C6 is a compact and reliable 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection for low-voltage electrical circuits. As part of the established ABB SH200 MCB series, it combines delayed thermal tripping for overload protection with electromagnetic tripping for rapid protection against short circuits.
With a rated current of 6 A, a Type C tripping characteristic and a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA, the SH203-C6 is suitable for circuits where moderate temporary inrush currents may occur. Its C-curve characteristic makes it appropriate for general distribution, control and auxiliary circuits, as well as selected loads that can draw a brief starting current during normal operation.
The SH203-C6 features a 3-pole configuration, making it suitable for three-phase circuits requiring coordinated switching and overcurrent protection across all three poles. Its compact three-module format is designed for standard DIN-rail installation within distribution boards and electrical control panels. ABB order code 2CDS213001R0064 identifies this specific 6 A C-curve model within the SH200 range.

Reliable Overcurrent Protection for Three-Phase Electrical Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB SH203-C6 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 6 A rating, 3-pole configuration, 6 kA breaking capacity and compact DIN-rail format, the SH203-C6 provides practical protection for low-current three-phase distribution, auxiliary and control applications.
Typical Applications
- Low-current three-phase electrical circuits.
- Industrial control and auxiliary circuits.
- Electrical control panels and modular enclosures.
- Control equipment with moderate temporary inrush currents.
