Why Choose the ABB S203-K3 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S203-K3 is a compact and reliable 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Part of the ABB System pro M compact S200 range, it provides dependable modular circuit protection for commercial, industrial and control panel installations.
With a K tripping characteristic, the S203-K3 is suitable for circuits with higher inrush currents, helping reduce nuisance tripping while maintaining effective protection. This makes it a practical choice for selected inductive loads, transformers, control circuits and automation equipment.
Rated at 3 A with a 3-pole configuration and 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the ABB S203-K3 provides effective protection for three-phase low-current circuits. Its DIN rail mounting design allows fast installation in distribution boards, machine panels and electrical enclosures.

Reliable Protection for Low-Current Three-Phase Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S203-K3 automatically disconnect a circuit when excessive current is detected. The thermal tripping mechanism provides overload protection, while the electromechanical tripping mechanism responds quickly to short-circuit faults.
The K curve characteristic is designed for circuits where inrush currents may occur during normal operation. This makes the S203-K3 suitable for selected inductive loads, transformer circuits, automation equipment and control systems where standard tripping characteristics may not be ideal.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase control circuits.
- Industrial automation panels.
- Transformer and inductive load protection.
- Machine building and OEM equipment.
- Commercial and industrial distribution boards.
- Low-current auxiliary and power circuits.
