Product details

The 2CDS271103R0165 is an ABB S200-series miniature circuit breaker rated 16 A with a B tripping curve, meaning it trips at 3 to 5 times rated current — the standard choice for resistive and general-purpose loads where inrush is modest, like lighting circuits or control transformers. The 2-pole form factor breaks both line and neutral, common for single-phase 230 V supplies or as a switched neutral in multi-pole assemblies. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn of 10 kA per IEC 60898 is the service breaking capacity — what it can clear repeatedly under normal duty. The Icu of 25 kA per IEC 60947-2 is the ultimate breaking capacity, a one-shot fault clearance rating. The IP20/IP40 rating means it's protected against solid objects over 12 mm (finger-safe) when installed in a panel; the IP40 faceplate rating adds protection against tools and small wires over 1 mm. This is a panel-mount component, not a standalone enclosure.

The 35 mm width occupies two 17.5 mm modular spaces — standard for a 2-pole MCB. The 88 mm height and 69 mm depth fit within a typical 200 mm deep enclosure with clearance for wiring. Terminal tightening torque is 2.8 Nm max for screw-type terminals, which accepts up to 25 mm² conductor. The bi-directional cylinder-lift terminal design allows both busbar and cable entry from either direction without special adapters.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for this MCB?

Rated current 16 A, B-curve tripping, 2 poles, rated insulation voltage 440 V, Icn 10 kA, Icu 25 kA, overvoltage category III.

What is the difference between Icn and Icu on this breaker?

Icn (10 kA) is the service breaking capacity per IEC 60898 — the fault current the breaker can clear repeatedly during normal operation. Icu (25 kA) per IEC 60947-2 is the ultimate breaking capacity — the maximum fault it can clear once without being replaced. For most commercial panels fed from a transformer under 10 kA fault current, the Icn governs; for industrial distribution with higher prospective fault energy, the Icu provides coordination headroom.

What enclosure or mounting does this MCB require?

DIN rail mount on 35 mm rail per EN 60715. The IP20/IP40 rating means it is finger-safe when installed in a panel enclosure — not a standalone outdoor device. The 35 mm width occupies two 17.5 mm modular spaces.
