Why Choose the ABB DS201MC16F30 RCBO?
The ABB DS201MC16F30 is a compact and reliable 1P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to provide combined protection against overloads, short circuits and residual earth fault currents. Part of the ABB DS201 M / System pro M compact range, it combines residual-current and overcurrent protection in a single modular device for single-phase electrical circuits.
With a rated current of 16 A, C tripping characteristic and 30 mA rated residual operating current, the DS201 M C16 F30 provides coordinated protection for final circuits. Its Type F residual-current characteristic is designed to detect sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents while also providing protection for circuits containing single-phase frequency converters and other loads capable of producing composite residual currents.
The DS201MC16F30 combines a 10 kA rated short-circuit breaking capacity with 230–240 V AC operation and standard DIN-rail mounting. Its Type F characteristic also provides increased resistance to unwanted tripping from transient disturbances, making the RCBO particularly useful for modern electrical installations containing electronically controlled equipment.

Reliable Type F Protection for Modern Electrical Loads
An RCBO combines miniature circuit-breaker and residual-current protection functions within one device. The ABB DS201MC16F30 therefore disconnects the protected circuit in response to overloads and short circuits while also detecting potentially hazardous residual currents caused by insulation faults or leakage to earth.
Type F residual-current protection is particularly relevant to modern equipment using variable-speed or frequency-controlled electronics. In addition to the residual-current waveforms covered by Type A devices, Type F RCBOs are designed for appropriate single-phase frequency-converter applications and provide increased immunity to unwanted tripping, supporting both electrical safety and continuity of service.
Typical Applications
- Single-phase final circuits requiring 30 mA residual-current protection.
- Commercial and industrial electrical distribution boards.
- Circuits supplying modern electronic equipment.
- Single-phase equipment incorporating frequency converters.
- Variable-speed appliances and electronically controlled machinery.
- Applications requiring combined overcurrent and residual-current protection with increased immunity to unwanted tripping.
