Why Choose the ABB S203M-B16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S203M-B16 is a compact and reliable 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the ABB System pro M compact S200M series, it delivers dependable circuit protection for residential, commercial and industrial low voltage installations.
Featuring a B curve tripping characteristic, the S203M-B16 is suitable for general purpose circuits with relatively low inrush currents. Its current limiting design uses delayed thermal tripping for overload protection and electromechanical tripping for short circuit protection, helping maintain safe and consistent circuit operation.
With a 16 A rated current, 3-pole configuration and 10 kA breaking capacity, this miniature circuit breaker is ideal for DIN rail mounted distribution boards, control panels and electrical enclosures where compact, high quality circuit protection is required.
