Why Choose the ABB S201-K60 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S201-K60 is a compact and reliable single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the established ABB System pro M compact S200 series, it combines thermal overload protection with electromagnetic short-circuit protection for dependable circuit protection in commercial and industrial electrical installations.
Featuring a Type K tripping characteristic, the S201-K60 is particularly suited to circuits supplying equipment with elevated starting or inrush currents. This characteristic makes the breaker suitable for motors, transformers, machinery and other inductive loads while helping reduce unwanted tripping during normal equipment start-up.
With a rated current of 60 A, a 1-pole configuration and a rated operational voltage of 230/400 V AC according to IEC/EN 60898-1, the S201-K60 provides a compact DIN-rail protection solution. It offers a 6 kA rated short-circuit capacity according to IEC/EN 60898-1 and a 10 kA ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity according to IEC/EN 60947-2.
