ABB SH201-C40 1-Pole 40A 6kA Type C MCB

The SH201-C40 is a 1-pole 40A Type C miniature circuit breaker with 6kA breaking capacity from the ABB SH200 Compact Home series. Combining a delayed thermal tripping mechanism for overload protection with an electromechanical mechanism for short-circuit protection, it is a reliable, current-limiting choice for higher-current single-phase circuits in UAE residential and light commercial distribution boards.

Key Features

  • 1-pole 40A Type C MCB suitable for single-phase circuits with moderate inrush currents
  • 6kA breaking capacity at 230/400V AC for standard UAE residential and commercial fault levels
  • Dual tripping mechanism — delayed thermal for overload, electromechanical for short-circuit protection
  • Current-limiting design complying with IEC/EN 60898-1 for residential applications
  • Genuine ABB SH200 series quality — consistent performance and reliability

  • Consumer unit and distribution board MCB replacement or upgrade

FAQ

  • What's the difference between an MCB and an RCCB/RCD?
    An MCB (miniature circuit breaker) protects wiring and connected equipment against overload and short-circuit current. An RCCB/RCD protects against earth leakage by monitoring current imbalance. The two are complementary and are normally installed together in a distribution board.
  • How many poles do I need?
    A 1-pole (1P) breaker switches the line conductor only — the standard choice for individual single-phase final circuits (lighting, sockets).
  • Is this MCB compatible with other ABB DIN-rail distribution boards?
    Yes — it's a standard DIN-rail (EN 60715) mounted breaker and clips directly into ABB's modular consumer units and distribution boards alongside other ABB DIN-rail devices.
  • Can I install this myself?
    No. This is a distribution board component and must be installed and connected by a licensed electrician in accordance with UAE wiring regulations — it is not a DIY consumer product.
