ABB 2CDS253001R0024 3-Pole 2A C-Curve Miniature Circuit Breaker 6kA

Electrical overloads and short circuits can cause serious damage to wiring and connected equipment. The ABB 2CDS253001R0024 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) provides reliable protection by automatically interrupting the current flow when a fault is detected. With a 2 A rated current and C tripping characteristic, it is ideal for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting and control circuits.

Who is it for

This MCB is designed for electricians, panel builders, and maintenance professionals who need a dependable protection device for residential, commercial, and light industrial installations. It is suitable for DIN rail mounting in distribution boards and control panels.

Tips

When installing, ensure the upstream protection is coordinated with the MCB's breaking capacity. For circuits with high inrush currents (e.g., motors, transformers), consider a D-curve breaker instead. Always follow local wiring regulations and disconnect power before installation.
