Reliable Circuit Protection for Traction and Industrial Systems
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S201MT-B16 automatically disconnect a circuit when excessive current occurs as a result of an overload or short circuit. This helps protect cables, conductors and connected electrical equipment while providing a convenient resettable alternative to conventional fuse-based protection.
The ABB S200 MT series is engineered for demanding transportation and industrial environments. The Type B characteristic provides responsive magnetic tripping for circuits with relatively low inrush currents, while the S201MT-B16's railway-oriented construction makes it particularly suitable for auxiliary, control and distribution circuits in rolling stock and traction equipment.
Typical Applications
- Railway and rolling-stock electrical systems.
- Traction auxiliary electrical circuits.
- Low-inrush control and distribution circuits.
- Industrial control and distribution systems.
- Control panels and electrical cabinets.
- Automation and auxiliary power equipment.
- Cable and conductor overload protection.
