2CSA275901R9164 ABB - S-ARC1 M C16

The 2CSA275901R9164 ABB S-ARC1 M C16 is a sophisticated arc fault detection device (AFDD) seamlessly integrated with a miniature circuit breaker (MCB). This innovative device offers advanced protection against arc faults, which are dangerous electrical discharges that can lead to fires. It combines the functionalities of an MCB, providing overload and short-circuit protection, with highly sensitive arc fault detection capabilities. The S-ARC1 M C16 continuously monitors the electrical circuit for unique signatures of arc faults, differentiating them from normal operating conditions. Upon detecting an arc fault, the device swiftly trips, interrupting the circuit and mitigating the risk of fire. This integrated design simplifies installation and reduces wiring complexity compared to using separate AFDD and MCB components. The ABB S-ARC1 M C16 enhances electrical safety in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. It provides a compact and reliable solution for comprehensive circuit protection. This device is rated for 16A and has a C curve tripping characteristic.
