## Summary description

ABB SH201-C16 is a miniature circuit breaker, Type C, rated 16 A with a single pole. Designed for 50/60 Hz systems, it provides overcurrent protection for residential and light commercial electrical circuits. The device has IP20 protection and low power loss (2.5 W). Suitable for DIN-rail installation in distribution boards.

## Long description

ABB SH201-C16 is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker, Type C, rated for 16 A and designed for 50/60 Hz electrical systems. It is intended for DIN-rail installation in distribution boards and provides overcurrent protection for residential and light commercial circuits. The device features IP20 protection and low power loss of 2.5 W, and belongs to the Compact Home SH200 family of current-limiting MCBs with combined thermal and electromechanical tripping for overload and short-circuit protection.
Advantages
The SH201-C16 combines thermal delayed tripping for reliable overload protection with an electromechanical release that responds quickly to short circuits, offering dependable two-stage protection. Low operating power loss (2.5 W) reduces energy dissipation in the distribution board. Compact DIN-rail mounting and standard Type C characteristic make this breaker suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents, while compliance with relevant IEC/EN standards ensures compatibility with typical residential installations.
Suitable for
 Protection of lighting circuits and sockets in homes and apartments
 Small commercial or office circuits with moderate motor or transformer inrush
 Use in distribution boards requiring DIN-rail mounted miniature circuit breakers
 Circuit protection where a Type C trip curve is appropriate (moderate inrush tolerance)
When it may not be suitable
This 16 A, single-pole Type C breaker is not suitable for three-phase loads or installations requiring multi-pole protection. It may not be ideal where very high breaking capacity is required beyond the SH200 family limits, or where IP ratings greater than IP20 are needed for moisture- or dust-prone environments. For circuits with very high inrush currents (heavy motors) a different trip characteristic or higher rated current may be necessary.
Key specifications
 Poles: 1 (single-pole)
 Rated current: 16 A
 Tripping characteristic: Type C (moderate inrush tolerance)
 Frequency: 50/60 Hz
 Protection degree: IP20
 Power loss: 2.5 W
 Mounting: DIN-rail (standard distribution board installation)
 Tripping mechanisms: thermal (overload) and electromechanical (short-circuit)
 Standards compliance: IEC/EN 60898-1 (suitable for residential use)
How to use
Install the SH201-C16 on a standard DIN rail inside a suitable distribution board following local wiring regulations. Connect the incoming phase conductor to the line terminal and the outgoing circuit conductor to the load terminal, ensuring secure torque on terminals. Use the breaker as the overcurrent protective device for the intended circuit; switch it on and off with the front toggle. In case of trip, identify and remedy the fault (overload or short circuit) before resetting the device. Observe isolation and lockout procedures when performing maintenance on the circuit.
What to consider before purchase
 Ensure a 16 A rated current and Type C characteristic match the circuit load and expected inrush currents
 Confirm single-pole protection is appropriate rather than multi-pole for multi-phase or switched-neutral applications
 Verify the IP20 protection rating is suitable for the installation environment
 Check compatibility with your distribution board DIN-rail space and terminal connection types
Usage recommendations
For typical residential and light commercial circuits, use the SH201-C16 where moderate inrush is expected (lighting, small motors, transformers). Combine with appropriately rated residual current devices and correct upstream/downstream coordination to achieve comprehensive circuit protection.
