2CDS251001R0378 ABB S201-Z6 Miniature Circuit Breaker 6 A 1P Type Z 6/10 kA

Why Choose the ABB S201-Z6 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB S201-Z6 is a compact and reliable single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection for sensitive electrical circuits, control systems and industrial equipment. As part of the established ABB System pro M compact S200 series, it combines a 6 A rated current with a Type Z tripping characteristic for applications requiring rapid response to comparatively low overcurrents.

The S201-Z6 uses thermal-magnetic protection to automatically disconnect the circuit under sustained overload or short-circuit conditions. Its Type Z characteristic has a sensitive instantaneous operating range, making it particularly suitable for appropriately designed circuits supplying electronic equipment, control devices and other loads where fault currents may be relatively low.

With a 1-pole configuration, 6 A rated current and breaking capacity of 6 / 10 kA, the S201-Z6 provides dependable circuit protection in a compact DIN-rail-mounted format. ABB's S200 platform enables straightforward integration into modular distribution boards, machinery panels and industrial automation systems.

Sensitive Protection for Control and Electronic Circuits

Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S201-Z6 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 when a sufficiently high fault current occurs.

The Type Z characteristic is more sensitive to instantaneous overcurrents than Type B, C, D or K characteristics. This makes the S201-Z6 particularly useful for appropriately designed circuits supplying sensitive electronic, control and instrumentation equipment where rapid fault disconnection is required.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control and automation panels.
• Electronic equipment protection.
• Control and auxiliary circuits.
• Instrumentation and monitoring systems.
• Lower-current industrial electrical circuits.
• OEM electrical assemblies and machine building.
