Why Choose the ABB DS201 M C16 A300 RCBO?
The ABB DS201 M C16 A300 is a compact and reliable 1P+N Type A residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to protect single-phase circuits against overloads, short circuits and residual earth leakage faults. As part of the established ABB DS200 / DSH200 RCBO product group, it combines residual current and overcurrent protection within a single DIN-rail device for residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations.
This RCBO provides Type A residual current protection, enabling detection of sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents. Its C tripping characteristic accommodates moderate starting and inrush currents, making it suitable for a broad range of electrical loads while providing dependable overload and short-circuit protection.
With a rated current of 16 A and a rated residual operating current of 300 mA, the DS201 M C16 A300 provides combined protection for compatible single-phase circuits. Its 1P+N configuration provides phase protection together with neutral switching, while the compact format enables straightforward installation within electrical distribution boards.

Reliable Combined Circuit and Residual Current Protection
RCBOs such as the ABB DS201 M combine the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and residual current device within a single protective unit. The DS201 M C16 A300 can disconnect the protected circuit in response to overload, short-circuit or qualifying residual earth leakage currents, providing coordinated protection while reducing the need for separate protective devices.
The Type A residual current characteristic enables the DS201 M C16 A300 to respond to sinusoidal alternating residual currents as well as pulsating DC residual currents. Combined with its C curve overcurrent characteristic, this makes the RCBO suitable for circuits containing equipment with moderate starting currents where dependable combined circuit and residual current protection is required.
Typical Applications
- Residential electrical distribution boards.
- Commercial building electrical installations.
- Industrial single-phase circuits.
- Lighting and general electrical circuits.
- Control and auxiliary circuits.
