Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the tripping curve of the ABB S201M-C6?
A: The S201M-C6 uses a C-curve (Type C) characteristic, providing magnetic instantaneous tripping at 5–10× rated current. This suits circuits with moderate inrush currents such as lighting and small motors.

Q: Is the ABB 2CDS271001R0064 suitable for industrial use?
A: Yes. The S201M-C6 is dual-certified to both IEC/EN 60898-1 (domestic) and IEC/EN 60947-2 (industrial), making it suitable across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Q: Can I use this MCB with ABB auxiliary contacts or alarm contacts?
A: The S200M series supports ABB accessory add-ons. Please verify accessory compatibility with the ABB S200M series accessory guide for your specific configuration.

Q: What DIN rail width does the S201M-C6 occupy?
A: The S201M-C6 is 17.5 mm wide, occupying a single module on a standard 35 mm DIN rail.
