Main Circuit Ratings
• Rated Operational Voltage (Ue) 690 V AC
• Rated Insulation Voltage (Ui) 800 V AC
• Rated Operational Current (Ie) 32 A (AC-23A) Switch mechanism rating.
Fuse Specification (F) Key Feature
• Fuse Type D-type (Cylindrical) Fuses per IEC 60269, e.g., 10x38mm or 14x51mm sizes. This is indicated by the F in the model code (vs. NH for knife-blade fuses).
• Fuse Rating Range Typically accepts fuses from 0.5A to 32A (gG/gL) or up to 63A (aM). Actual max depends on the specific fuse base version.
• Short-Circuit Performance Rated Conditional Short-Circuit Current (Icq) is typically 50 kA when used with specified D-type fuses.
Handle (C16)
• Type Front-mounted, rotary handle with a large black knob. Mounts directly on the front of the switch body.
• Function Manual operation, clear ON/OFF indication. Can be padlocked in the OFF position (usually 1-2 padlocks).

Safety Approvals CE, cULus, CCC, etc.
The ABB GS201 F C16 is a specific configuration of a rotary switch-disconnector (load break switch) from the ABB System Pro M compact GS series. This configuration combines a 32A frame, 3-pole disconnector with fuse holders (F) and a specific front-mounted rotary handle (C16), creating a compact switch-fuse unit.
