This high-quality, high-performance single-pole 16A miniature circuit breaker is from ABB’s acclaimed S200 series. It is primarily used for overload and short-circuit protection of terminal distribution circuits and is a very common and core safety component in building electrical installations. Its C-type design and 16A rated current make it ideal for protecting conventional sockets and lighting circuits.

ABB 3BUS208796-501 Product Description
1. Core Product Information
-
Product Series: System Pro M compact S200
-
Product Type: Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)
-
Number of Poles: 1P (Single Pole)
-
Rated Current: 16 A
-
Breaking Capacity: 6 kA (According to IEC/EN 60898 standard)
-
Tripping Characteristic: C-Curve (Instantaneous tripping current between 5 In and 10 In. Suitable for general lighting, distribution, and socket-outlet circuits, capable of withstanding standard inrush currents from devices like refrigerators and small motors.)
2. Key Features & Functions
-
Overload Protection: The bi-metallic strip heats and bends when the current exceeds the rated value (16A) for a prolonged period, triggering a trip to prevent cable overheating and fire.
-
Short-Circuit Protection: The magnetic trip mechanism instantaneously disconnects the circuit in the event of a high short-circuit current (within the C-curve range).
-
Mechanical Life: Over 20,000 operations, ensuring high mechanical durability.
-
Electrical Life: Over 10,000 operations at rated current.
-
Termination: Features cage-clamp spring technology for quick, reliable, and vibration-resistant connection of both rigid and flexible conductors.
-
Standards Compliance: Conforms to international standards such as IEC/EN 60898 and IEC/EN 60947-2.
3. Physical Design & Installation
-
Modular Width: 18mm (1 Standard Module)
-
Mounting: Standard DIN rail mounting (35mm symmetrical rail per EN 60715).
-
Appearance: Typically a white housing with an orange trip indicator and an operating handle.
4. Typical Applications
This 16A, C-curve, single-pole MCB is widely used in residential, commercial, and light-industrial low-voltage electrical installations for:
-
Lighting circuits in homes and offices
-
General-purpose socket-outlet circuits
-
Distribution and protection for small household appliances (e.g., TVs, computers, vacuum cleaners)
