Why Choose the ABB S201-K2 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S201-K2 is a compact and reliable single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection in industrial control, machinery and electrical distribution applications. As part of the established ABB System pro M compact S200 series, it combines a 2 A rated current with a Type K tripping characteristic for circuits where elevated starting or inrush currents can occur.
The S201-K2 uses thermal-magnetic protection to automatically disconnect the circuit under sustained overload or short-circuit conditions. Its Type K characteristic is particularly suited to appropriately designed inductive loads where higher temporary starting currents must be tolerated without compromising dependable overcurrent protection.
With a 1-pole configuration, 2 A rated current and breaking capacity of 6 / 10 kA, the S201-K2 provides dependable circuit protection in a compact DIN-rail-mounted format. ABB's S200 platform is designed for straightforward integration into modular distribution boards, machinery panels and industrial automation systems.

Reliable Protection for Inductive and High-Inrush Loads
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S201-K2 protect electrical wiring and connected equipment by interrupting excessive current. The thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions, while the magnetic mechanism provides rapid operation during high short-circuit currents.
The Type K characteristic is designed for applications where temporary starting currents can be significantly higher than the normal operating current. This makes the S201-K2 well suited to appropriately designed industrial control and inductive-load circuits while maintaining reliable protection against genuine overload and short-circuit faults.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and control panels.
- Control and auxiliary circuits.
- Circuits with elevated temporary starting or inrush currents.
- Suitable motor and inductive-load circuits.
- Automation and industrial electrical equipment.
- OEM electrical assemblies and machine building.
