Why Choose the ABB SH201M-C20 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB SH201M-C20 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 SH200M MCB series, it provides dependable thermal-magnetic circuit protection for residential, commercial and light industrial electrical installations.

Featuring a 20 A rated current, Type C tripping characteristic and 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the SH201M-C20 is well suited to circuits where moderate starting or inrush currents can occur. Its Type C characteristic provides a practical balance between reliable fault protection and tolerance of normal equipment start-up currents.

With a 230 / 400 V AC rated operational voltage and standard DIN-rail mounting, the SH201M-C20 is easy to integrate into electrical distribution boards and control panels. Its compact single-pole construction makes it a practical solution for branch circuits, lighting, control equipment and other suitable electrical loads.
