Features:2CDS382001R0101

• Compact Design:

  • The S200 series is designed with a compact, space-saving form factor. It fits onto a 35mm DIN rail, which is a standard for electrical panel installations. This ensures ease of integration into distribution boards and control panels without occupying excessive space.

• Single-Pole (1P) Configuration:

  • The 2CDS382001R0101 is a single-pole MCB, which makes it suitable for single-phase applications. It is designed to protect individual lighting circuits, small appliances, or outlets that operate on a single-phase electrical supply.

• Tripping Characteristic: C-Curve:

  • C-curve means the breaker will trip when the current exceeds 5 to 10 times the rated current. This characteristic is ideal for applications where moderate inrush currents are common, such as circuits supplying small motors, lighting, or appliances.
  • The C-curve provides a balanced protection between preventing nuisance tripping and ensuring fast disconnection in case of a fault.

• Rated Current (In):

  • The breaker is rated for 10 A, making it suitable for circuits with moderate current draw. It can protect circuits and equipment from overload and short circuits in systems with a 10 A current rating.

• Rated Voltage (Un):

  • The 2CDS382001R0101 is rated for 230 V in single-phase AC systems. It is designed for use in residential and light commercial electrical installations, providing essential protection for standard low-voltage circuits.

• High Breaking Capacity (Icn):

  • The MCB has a breaking capacity of 6 kA, which means it can safely interrupt fault currents up to 6,000 amperes without causing damage to the device or creating safety risks. This high capacity ensures the MCB can handle potentially severe short-circuit conditions.

• Thermal and Magnetic Protection:

  • The MCB offers thermal protection (against overloads) and magnetic protection (against short circuits). The thermal mechanism trips the breaker when the current exceeds its rated value for an extended period, while the magnetic mechanism trips instantaneously in the event of a short circuit.

• Mechanical and Electrical Endurance:

  • The 2CDS382001R0101 is rated for 20,000 mechanical operations and 4,000 electrical operations under normal load, making it a long-lasting and reliable solution for residential and light commercial installations.

• Environmental Tolerance:

  • It operates effectively within a wide ambient temperature range of -25°C to +60°C, allowing it to be used in a variety of environments, including those with extreme temperatures.

• Easy Installation:

  • The DIN rail mounting allows for quick and secure installation. The MCB is easy to install in any standard distribution board or control panel, ensuring efficient use of space and simplifying the installation process.

• IEC/EN Compliance:

  • The ABB 2CDS382001R0101 MCB complies with the IEC/EN 60898-1 standard, which ensures that the breaker meets international safety and performance standards for circuit protection.

• Low Maintenance:

  • Once installed, the MCB requires minimal maintenance, making it an efficient and cost-effective solution for long-term protection.

• Safety and Reliability:

  • The MCB ensures the safe operation of the electrical circuits by disconnecting in the event of an overload or short circuit, thereby protecting the wiring, appliances, and equipment connected to the circuit.
