ABB 2CSR272101R1505 DS200 Residual Current Circuit Breaker

Description

• The ABB 2CSR272101R1505 DS200 RCBO is a critical component within the DS200 Circuit Breaker series, designed to offer comprehensive electrical protection for both residential and commercial applications. This RCBO combines the functionality of a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) and a residual current device (RCD) in a single unit, making it a versatile and space-saving solution.

• One of the primary functions of the DS200 RCBO is to safeguard electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit currents. Overload conditions can occur when electrical circuits draw more current than they are designed to handle, potentially leading to overheating and fires. Short-circuits, on the other hand, result from direct contact between live conductors, creating extremely high currents that can cause catastrophic damage. The DS200 RCBO's MCB component acts swiftly to interrupt the circuit in such scenarios, preventing these risks.

• The DS200 RCBO provides robust protection against the effects of sinusoidal alternating earth fault currents. These currents typically arise from insulation failures or contact with conductive parts, posing a significant safety hazard. The integrated RCD feature within the RCBO continuously monitors the current balance between the live and neutral conductors. If an imbalance is detected, indicating a potential earth fault, the RCD will rapidly disconnect the circuit, reducing the risk of electric shock and ensuring the safety of individuals.
