Why Choose the ABB F202 B-16/0.03 RCCB?
The ABB F202 B-16/0.03 is a high-performance two-pole Type B residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) designed to provide comprehensive residual-current protection for electrical installations containing power-electronic equipment. As part of the established ABB F200 RCCB series, it is suitable for applications where AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC residual currents may occur.
With a rated current of 16 A and a rated residual operating current of 30 mA, the F202 B-16/0.03 provides additional protection against electric shock while addressing residual-current waveforms associated with converters, drives and other electronically controlled equipment. Its Type B characteristic extends protection beyond Type A devices by detecting smooth DC residual currents as well as AC and pulsating DC leakage currents.
The F202 B-16/0.03 features a 2-pole configuration and modular DIN-rail construction for integration into electrical distribution boards and control panels. Its combination of Type B residual-current detection and 30 mA sensitivity makes it suitable for demanding single-phase circuits incorporating modern power electronics.
Key Advantages
- Type B residual-current protection for demanding power-electronic applications.

- DIN-rail mounting for straightforward installation.
Comprehensive Type B Residual-Current Protection
Residual current circuit breakers monitor the balance of current flowing through the live conductors of an electrical circuit and disconnect the supply when earth leakage reaches the specified operating threshold. The ABB F202 B-16/0.03 combines 30 mA sensitivity with Type B detection, enabling protection against residual-current waveforms that can occur in installations containing sophisticated power electronics.
Unlike Type A RCCBs, Type B devices are designed to detect smooth DC residual currents in addition to sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents. This makes the F202 B-16/0.03 suitable for applications involving converters, variable-speed equipment and other electronic systems capable of producing DC earth-leakage components. As an RCCB, it does not incorporate overload or short-circuit protection, so suitable overcurrent protection must be provided separately.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automation and power-electronic equipment.
- Circuits supplying frequency converters and variable-speed drives.
- Electrical distribution systems with potential smooth DC leakage currents.
- Commercial and industrial control panels.
- Electronically controlled machinery and equipment.
- Single-phase circuits requiring Type B residual-current protection.
