Why Choose the ABB DS201K16A10 RCBO?
The ABB DS201K16A10 is a compact and reliable 1P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to protect single-phase electrical circuits against overloads, short circuits and residual earth leakage currents. As part of the ABB DS200 / DSH200 RCBO range, it combines residual current and miniature circuit-breaker protection within a single DIN-rail mounted device.
This RCBO features a K tripping characteristic, a rated current of 16 A and Type A residual current protection with a rated sensitivity of 10 mA. Type A protection detects sinusoidal AC residual currents as well as pulsating DC residual currents, making the device suitable for a broad range of modern electrical loads.
With a rated operating voltage of 230–240 V AC and a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA to EN 61009, the DS201K16A10 provides comprehensive circuit protection for residential, commercial and industrial installations. Its 1P+N configuration uses one protected pole together with a switched neutral and occupies two modular spaces on a standard DIN rail.

Combined Circuit and Residual-Current Protection
RCBOs combine the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and residual-current protective device in a single unit. The ABB DS201K16A10 therefore protects its connected circuit against overload and short-circuit conditions while also detecting potentially hazardous residual currents to earth.
Its Type A residual-current characteristic enables detection of sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents. The K tripping characteristic is intended for circuits where higher transient or starting currents may occur, while the compact DIN-rail format makes the DS201 suitable for distribution and control equipment where installation space is important.
Typical Applications
- Single-phase electrical distribution circuits.
- Residential and commercial distribution boards.
- Industrial electrical installations.
- Machinery and control-panel circuits.
- Circuits requiring Type A residual-current protection.
- Loads with higher starting or inrush currents suited to a K characteristic.
