Why Choose the ABB SH201M-D16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB SH201M-D16 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 ABB SH200 MCB series, it combines a 16 A rated current with a Type D tripping characteristic for circuits where high starting or inrush currents can occur.
The SH201M-D16 provides thermal-magnetic circuit protection with a 10 kA rated short-circuit breaking capacity. Its Type D operating characteristic makes it particularly suitable for loads with substantial switch-on currents, including transformers, discharge lighting and other inductive equipment.
With its single-pole configuration and modular DIN-rail design, the SH201M-D16 can be installed efficiently in electrical distribution boards and control panels. Its combination of high breaking capacity, Type D response and compact construction makes it a practical choice for demanding circuit protection applications.

Reliable Protection for High-Inrush Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB SH201M-D16 automatically disconnect a circuit when excessive current occurs because of an overload or short circuit. This protects electrical wiring and connected equipment while helping maintain safe and dependable operation of the electrical installation.
The Type D operating characteristic is intended for circuits with comparatively high instantaneous switch-on currents. This makes the SH201M-D16 particularly useful for equipment such as transformers, discharge lighting and other loads where normal energisation can produce a substantial temporary current without representing a fault condition.
Typical Applications
- Electrical distribution boards and consumer units.
- Transformer supply circuits.
- Discharge lighting circuits.
- Industrial and commercial electrical installations.
- Control panels and equipment circuits.
- Circuits with high starting or inrush currents.
