ABB S203P-K1.6 three pole 1.6 A K curve miniature circuit breaker from the System pro M compact S200P range, designed for reliable overload and short-circuit protection in commercial and industrial electrical installations.
The ABB S203P-K1.6 is a high-performance three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the ABB System pro M compact S200P series, designed to provide reliable protection against overloads and short circuits in commercial and industrial electrical installations. With its compact construction and dependable thermal magnetic trip mechanism, it is well suited to control panels, distribution systems and automation equipment.
This circuit breaker features a K curve tripping characteristic, making it suitable for circuits with higher inrush currents during start-up. It is commonly used for inductive loads such as motors, transformers and control equipment where standard tripping curves may operate too early during normal energisation.
With a 1.6 A rated current, three-pole configuration and 10 kA interrupt rating at 480Y/277 V AC, the S203P-K1.6 provides robust protection for low-current three-phase circuits while maintaining the installation flexibility expected from ABB’s S200P miniature circuit breaker range.
The ABB S203P-K1.6 protects electrical circuits by disconnecting the supply during overload or short-circuit conditions. Its thermal magnetic operation provides delayed thermal protection for overloads and rapid magnetic tripping for short-circuit faults, helping to protect connected equipment and reduce the risk of electrical damage.
The K curve characteristic makes this breaker especially useful for inductive loads where start-up currents can be higher than the normal running current. This helps reduce nuisance tripping while maintaining reliable circuit protection in industrial and commercial installations.
