ABB SH201M-C32 1-Pole 32A Type C MCB
The ABB SH201M-C32 is a 1-pole 32A Type C miniature circuit breaker with 10kA breaking capacity from the ABB SH200M series. Built for higher fault-level applications than the standard SH200 range, it is well suited to power and small distribution circuits in UAE commercial and industrial buildings where a higher breaking capacity is required.
Key Features
- 1-pole 32A Type C MCB for protection of power circuits with moderate inrush currents
- 10kA breaking capacity, suitable for higher fault-level UAE commercial and industrial installations
- Cage screw terminals with connecting capacity up to 25 mm², accommodating a wide range of conductor sizes
- DIN rail mounting compatible with both TH35-15 and TH35-7.5 rails per IEC 60715, for flexible panel installation
- Genuine ABB SH200M series quality — consistent performance and reliability

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.
