Why Choose the ABB DS201C16APR300 RCBO?
The ABB DS201C16APR300 is a compact and reliable 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 established ABB DS200 / DS201 RCBO range, it combines residual-current and overcurrent protection in one DIN-rail device for residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations.
This RCBO features a 16 A rated current, C tripping characteristic and 300 mA Type A residual-current sensitivity. Its APR high-immunity characteristic provides increased resistance to unwanted tripping caused by transient disturbances, helping maintain continuity of service while providing dependable residual-current protection.
With a 6 kA rated short-circuit capacity, the DS201C16APR300 provides coordinated protection for single-phase circuits in a compact format. Its 1P+N configuration, Type A APR residual-current protection and robust ABB construction make it suitable for circuits requiring combined overcurrent and earth-leakage protection with enhanced immunity to nuisance tripping.
Key Advantages
- Combined RCBO protection against overload, short circuit and residual current.
- 16 A rated current with C tripping characteristic.
- 300 mA Type A residual-current sensitivity for AC and pulsating DC residual fault currents.
- APR high-immunity characteristic helps reduce unwanted tripping caused by transient disturbances.
- 6 kA rated short-circuit capacity for dependable circuit protection.
- Compact 1P+N design for DIN-rail electrical distribution systems.
Key Features
- ABB DS201 RCBO series.
- 16 A rated current.
- C tripping characteristic.
- 300 mA rated residual operating current.
- Type A residual-current detection.
- APR high-immunity residual-current characteristic.
- 1P+N configuration for single-phase circuits.
- 6 kA rated short-circuit capacity.
- DIN-rail mounting for integration into electrical distribution boards.
Reliable Protection for Single-Phase Circuits
RCBOs such as the ABB DS201 combine miniature circuit breaker and residual-current protection functions in a single device. This enables the DS201C16APR300 to disconnect a circuit in response to overloads, short circuits and residual currents while reducing the need for separate overcurrent and residual-current protective devices.
The APR characteristic provides enhanced immunity to unwanted tripping while retaining Type A residual-current detection for sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents. The 300 mA residual-current rating makes this model suitable for applications where higher-sensitivity additional personal protection is not the intended function and coordinated earth-fault protection is required.
Typical Applications
- Residential and commercial electrical distribution systems.
- Industrial single-phase auxiliary circuits.
- Lighting and control circuits.
- Building services and fixed electrical equipment.
- Circuits requiring combined overcurrent and residual-current protection.
- Installations requiring enhanced immunity to unwanted residual-current tripping.
