Why Choose the ABB S201M-Z16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S201M-Z16 is a compact and reliable single pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the professional ABB System pro M compact S200M series. Designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits, this 16 A Z curve MCB is ideal for applications where sensitive electrical equipment requires rapid fault disconnection.
The S201M-Z16 uses ABB’s current limiting design with a delayed thermal tripping mechanism for overload protection and an electromechanical tripping mechanism for short circuit protection. This helps reduce fault energy during short circuit events while maintaining dependable circuit protection in demanding electrical installations.
With a 16 A rated current, Z tripping characteristic and 10 kA breaking capacity at 230/400 V AC, the ABB S201M-Z16 is well suited to control circuits, instrumentation, automation panels and sensitive electronic loads. Its compact DIN rail format enables straightforward installation inside distribution boards, control cabinets and industrial switchgear.
