Product details

The ABB 2CDS272001R0165 is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker with a B tripping curve, rated 16 A continuous current and 440 V insulation voltage. Its rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn is 10 kA — the standard test for MCBs per IEC 60898 — and the ultimate breaking capacity Icu is 25 kA, meaning it can safely clear a fault once at that higher level. For a 16 A branch circuit in a commercial or light industrial panel, 10 kA Icn covers typical available fault current at the sub-distribution level. The IP20/IP40 rating means it's protected against solid objects over 12 mm (finger-safe) on the front, and 1 mm on the terminals; mount it inside an enclosure that handles the environment.

The 2-pole body is 35 mm wide, 88 mm tall, and 69 mm deep — a compact footprint that leaves room for adjacent breakers or accessories in a crowded panel. Terminal torque spec is 2.8 Nm max for screw-type connections; the bi-directional cylinder-lift terminal accepts a range of conductor sizes without needing to re-terminate for direction of feed.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for this MCB?

It's a 2-pole B-curve breaker rated 16 A continuous, 440 V insulation voltage, with a short-circuit breaking capacity Icn of 10 kA and Icu of 25 kA. It mounts on DIN rail and carries IP20 on the front, IP40 on the terminals.

What is the physical size of the 2CDS272001R0165?

Width 35 mm, height 88 mm, depth 69 mm — a standard 2-pole MCB footprint for 35 mm DIN-rail mounting.
