ABB 2cds272001r0065 s202m-b6 Auxiliary contact core S200 series circuit breaker

Product Description:2cds272001r0065 s202m-b6

• Type and Function:
  The S202M-B6 is a single-pole MCB with a B-curve characteristic. The "B" curve indicates that it is designed to trip when the current exceeds 3 to 5 times the rated current, which makes it suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting and small motors. The 6 A rating means that the breaker is designed to protect circuits with a maximum current of 6 amperes, offering reliable protection from overloads and faults.

• Overload and Short Circuit Protection:
  The MCB automatically disconnects the circuit in the event of a short circuit or sustained overload. This prevents potential damage to wiring, connected devices, and other components within the circuit. The B-curve trips quickly when the current exceeds 3 to 5 times the nominal value, which helps protect sensitive electronics or devices that might otherwise be damaged by sudden surges.

• Compact Design:
  This breaker is DIN rail mountable, making it easy to install in distribution boards or electrical panels. The compact size allows for efficient space utilization, making it ideal for residential, commercial, or light industrial electrical systems.

• High Breaking Capacity:
  The S202M series is designed to handle high fault currents, ensuring it can safely interrupt power flow in the event of a short circuit without causing damage. The MCB is typically rated for breaking capacities of up to 6 kA (depending on local standards and configuration), making it suitable for most low-voltage protection needs.

• Durability and Reliability:
  ABB's S202M series circuit breakers are known for their long operational life, able to withstand frequent switching operations without failure. They are built to meet international standards for safety, reliability, and performance.

• Applications:
  The S202M-B6 is commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, including protection of lighting circuits, small electrical devices, and household appliances. It is also well-suited for use in distribution boards, panelboards, and other electrical enclosures where space is limited but reliable protection is critical.

• Current Rating: The S202M series offers different current ratings, such as 6 A, 10 A, 16 A, 20 A, 25 A, etc. If you need a different current rating to match your specific load requirements, you can choose from the available options in the series.
• Tripping Characteristics: The B-curve is suitable for general-purpose applications with moderate inrush currents. If your application requires a different characteristic (e.g., C-curve for circuits with higher inrush currents, or D-curve for circuits with very high inrush currents), you can opt for other models within the S202M series.
• Single-Pole (1P): The S202M-B6 is a single-pole MCB, but if you need two-pole (2P) or three-pole (3P) breakers for multi-phase systems or specific configurations, these are available in the S202M series.
• Four-pole versions (4P) may also be available for higher-phase systems, but they would be part of other series like the S202P or specialized multi-phase breakers.
• Auxiliary Contacts: While the S202M-B6 does not typically come with auxiliary contacts, you can add auxiliary contacts or alarm contacts to monitor the state of the breaker (whether it is on, off, or tripped). These contacts can be wired to external monitoring systems or alarms.
• Shunt Trips and Undervoltage Releases: You can add shunt trip or undervoltage release mechanisms to the breaker. These devices allow the breaker to be triggered remotely (via an external signal) or automatically trip in case of voltage drops.
• Locking Mechanisms: Some installations require the ability to lock a breaker in the "off" position for safety or maintenance purposes. Locking accessories can be used to prevent the breaker from being turned on.
• Corrosion-Resistant Coatings: For applications in harsh environments (e.g., high-humidity, saltwater, or corrosive atmospheres), MCBs can be customized with special coatings or materials to improve resistance to corrosion and wear.
• Weatherproof Versions: In outdoor or industrial applications, a weatherproof or dustproof version of the MCB may be required. These versions are typically housed in IP65 (dust-tight and protected against water jets) or IP67 (dust-tight and protected against immersion in water) enclosures.
• Higher Voltage Ratings: If you are working with higher voltages than the standard 230V or 400V AC, you may need a different version of the MCB rated for higher voltages (e.g., 690V AC for industrial systems).
• Frequency Options: Some MCBs are rated for specific frequencies. For industrial or commercial applications that require specialized frequencies (like 60 Hz or 50 Hz), you may need an MCB with specific certifications.
• Custom Marking/Labeling: In industrial settings, it may be necessary to have custom labels for the MCB, such as circuit identification or installation guidelines. These can be provided with specialized customized labeling services to meet project requirements.
• Documentation and Certification: ABB may also offer custom documentation for larger installations or specific applications, ensuring compliance with local regulations and standards.
• Enclosure Customization: If the MCB will be used in a control panel or distribution board, ABB or third-party manufacturers can offer customized enclosures designed for easy integration, providing additional protection against dust, moisture, or physical damage.
• Panel Cutouts and Mounting Configurations: MCBs can be adapted to suit custom panel configurations, ensuring they fit seamlessly into existing electrical panels or enclosures.
• Temperature Extremes: In extreme temperature environments (e.g., outdoor use in deserts or high-altitude areas), breakers can be customized with special ratings to perform optimally in these conditions.
• Environmental Certifications: If your project requires environmental certifications like RoHS, WEEE, or UL (Underwriters Laboratories) approvals, ensure that the selected MCB model is compliant with these standards. Some specific models or configurations may be tailored for compliance with these certifications.
• Solar Power Systems: For applications such as solar energy installations, ABB offers specialized circuit breakers with features tailored for the unique needs of DC protection (such as DC-rated MCBs for solar panels).
• Motor Protection: If the MCB is intended to protect motors or pumps, ABB offers models designed to protect against both overloads and undercurrent conditions, which may require a slightly different configuration.
• Product Selection: Identify the specific needs for your application (e.g., current, tripping characteristic, number of poles, etc.) and choose from the ABB S202M series to match.
• Contact ABB or Distributors: For more specific customizations (e.g., auxiliary contacts, special coatings, or remote trip mechanisms), contact ABB directly or work with an authorized distributor to select the right components or accessories.
• Third-Party Accessories: For custom enclosures or mounting solutions, check with third-party manufacturers that offer specialized installation kits or enclosures.
