2CSR275180R1164 ABB DS201MC16A30 DS201 M C16 A30 1P+N 16 A 30 mA Type A RCBO

Why Choose the ABB DS201MC16A30 RCBO?

The ABB DS201MC16A30, manufacturer type DS201 M C16 A30, is a compact 1P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to provide combined protection against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults. As part of the ABB DS200 / DS201 M series, it integrates residual current and overcurrent protection within a single DIN-rail device for single-phase electrical circuits.

This RCBO has a rated current of 16 A, a Type C tripping characteristic and a rated residual operating current of 30 mA. Its Type A residual current characteristic provides detection of sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents, making it suitable for appropriately specified circuits containing modern electrical and electronic equipment.

With a rated voltage of 230 V AC and a rated short-circuit capacity of 10 kA, the DS201 M C16 A30 provides robust protection for suitable single-phase low-voltage distribution applications. Its compact 1P+N configuration combines overcurrent and residual current protection in one device, while the 30 mA sensitivity provides additional protection against electric shock.

Key Advantages

• Combined residual current and overcurrent protection in one RCBO.
• 16 A rated current for suitable single-phase circuits.

Type A Protection for Single-Phase Circuits

An RCBO combines residual current protection with overload and short-circuit protection in a single device. The ABB DS201 M C16 A30 monitors the protected circuit for both sinusoidal alternating and pulsating DC residual currents while also disconnecting the circuit when excessive current occurs because of an overload or short circuit.

The 30 mA residual current sensitivity provides additional protection against electric shock, while the C-curve overcurrent characteristic accommodates moderate starting and inrush currents. Type A residual current detection broadens protection beyond Type AC devices by responding to both sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents.

Typical Applications

• Residential and commercial single-phase circuits.
• General-purpose final circuits.
• Control and building services circuits.
• Circuits supplying loads with moderate starting currents.
• Circuits requiring Type A 30 mA residual current protection.
• Installations requiring combined overload, short-circuit and earth leakage protection.
