Why Choose the ABB DS201C16A10 RCBO?
The ABB DS201C16A10 is a compact 1P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to protect single-phase circuits against overloads, short circuits and residual earth-fault currents. As part of the ABB DS201 series, it combines residual-current and overcurrent protection in one DIN-rail device for efficient electrical distribution and circuit protection.
This RCBO features a Type C tripping characteristic, a rated current of 16 A and Type A residual-current detection. Its highly sensitive 10 mA rated residual operating current provides residual-current protection, while Type A detection responds to sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents.
With a rated short-circuit capacity of 6 kA and a 1P+N configuration, the DS201C16A10 provides combined protection for single-phase electrical circuits. Its compact DIN-rail format helps simplify distribution-board installation while providing dedicated protection for individual final circuits.

Combined Residual-Current and Overcurrent Protection
RCBOs such as the ABB DS201 combine the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and a residual-current protective device. This allows one device to protect a circuit against overload and short-circuit currents while also detecting potentially hazardous earth leakage currents.
Type A residual-current protection enables the DS201C16A10 to detect both sinusoidal alternating and pulsating direct residual currents. Combined with its 10 mA sensitivity and Type C overcurrent characteristic, the device provides sensitive residual-current detection together with dependable overcurrent protection.
Typical Applications
- Residential electrical distribution boards.
- Commercial building electrical installations.
- Industrial single-phase final circuits.
- General-purpose electrical distribution circuits.
- Circuits requiring sensitive 10 mA residual-current protection.
- DIN-rail consumer units and distribution panels.
