ABB F200 is an electromagnetic residual current circuit breaker for earth-fault protection. F202 is the 2-pole version and F204 is the 4-pole version. It does not provide overload or short-circuit protection and is used with an MCB or fuse in series.
The ABB F200 Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) series is designed to protect people and electrical installations against earth leakage faults in low-voltage power distribution systems. Covering rated currents from 16 A to 125 A and residual current sensitivities from 10 mA to 1,000 mA, the series offers multiple residual current detection types, including AC, A, AP-R, A S, F and B. With 2-pole and 4-pole configurations, a compact modular design and compatibility with ABB System pro M compact® accessories, the F200 series provides flexible residual current protection for residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations.
The F200 series detects residual currents caused by insulation faults or unintended current leakage to earth and automatically disconnects the affected circuit when the specified residual current threshold is reached. Different detection types are available to accommodate various electrical loads and current waveforms:
Type AC: Detects sinusoidal alternating residual currents.
Type A: Detects sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents.
Type F: Designed for residual currents with mixed frequencies, commonly associated with certain single-phase inverter-controlled equipment.
Type B: Detects AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC residual currents, as well as specified higher-frequency components.
Type AP-R: Provides enhanced immunity against unwanted tripping caused by transient disturbances.
Type A S: Selective residual current protection for applications requiring coordinated protection with downstream devices.
These options allow users to select suitable residual current protection according to the electrical equipment and installation requirements.
The ABB F200 series offers different rated current and residual current sensitivity combinations to meet various protection requirements. Available rated currents range from 16 A to 125 A, while sensitivity options cover 10 mA to 1,000 mA across the product family. Two-pole and four-pole versions support single-phase and three-phase electrical distribution systems, depending on the selected model.
Instantaneous and selective versions are also available for specific product types, providing flexibility for different protection arrangements and coordination requirements.
Designed for modular electrical distribution boards, the F200 series supports standard DIN-rail installation. Its bidirectional cylindrical terminals provide flexible wiring arrangements, allowing front and rear connections for different conductor and busbar configurations. The built-in test button enables periodic functional checks, while the Contact Position Indicator (CPI) provides clear visual indication of the actual contact status independently of the operating toggle position.
The series also supports a wide range of compatible accessories and can be combined with ABB automatic reclosing units to help restore service after qualifying temporary residual current faults.
The ABB F200 RCCB series is suitable for residual current protection across various low-voltage electrical installations. Typical applications include:
Residential Buildings: Protection against earth leakage faults in household electrical distribution systems.
Commercial Facilities: Residual current protection for offices, hotels, retail buildings and commercial electrical panels.
Industrial Plants: Protection of electrical equipment and distribution circuits against earth leakage faults.
Renewable Energy Systems: Type B configurations for suitable photovoltaic installations and inverter-related applications.
EV Charging Systems: Type B protection for compatible charging installations where smooth DC residual current detection is required.
Medical Facilities: Residual current protection for selected electrical equipment and installations according to applicable requirements.
The ABB F200 series provides multiple configurations to accommodate different electrical system and residual current protection requirements.
