Why Choose the ABB S201Z40 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S201Z40 is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from ABB's trusted System pro M compact S200 range. Designed with a Z characteristic tripping curve and a 40 A rated current, it provides highly sensitive protection for electronic equipment, control circuits and semiconductor devices where rapid disconnection during low fault currents is essential.
The Z-curve trips magnetically between approximately 2 and 3 times the rated current, making it ideal for protecting sensitive electronic loads that require faster fault clearance than standard B, C or D curve circuit breakers.
Suitable for residential, commercial and industrial installations, the ABB S201Z40 combines dependable overload and short-circuit protection with robust DIN rail mounting, high-quality construction and compatibility with the extensive ABB System pro M compact accessory range.
