The ABB 2CDS212001R0401 is a 40A, 2-pole, C-curve Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) from the ABB S200 Series (System PRO M). This device is designed to provide reliable overload and short-circuit protection for two-wire single-phase or split-phase circuits with moderate inrush currents. The "C" tripping characteristic offers a balanced response, making it suitable for protecting a wide range of general-purpose circuits and equipment in commercial, industrial, and large residential applications. As a 2-pole breaker, it simultaneously interrupts both the live (phase) and neutral conductors, ensuring complete circuit isolation.
