Why Choose the ABB S302P-B16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB S302P-B16 (SKU: 2CDS382001R0165) is a high-performance 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Part of the advanced ABB System pro M Compact S300P series, it is engineered for demanding industrial, commercial and OEM installations where dependable circuit protection and high fault-current interruption are essential.
The S302P-B16 combines thermal overload protection with rapid magnetic short-circuit protection, helping safeguard cables, connected equipment and electrical infrastructure. Its compact modular construction supports efficient installation inside distribution boards, switchboards and machine control panels, while compatibility with standard DIN rail systems simplifies panel assembly and maintenance.
With a 16 A rated current, Type B tripping characteristic and 2-pole configuration, this circuit breaker is suitable for circuits with relatively low inrush currents. Its high breaking capacity makes it particularly useful in industrial installations where prospective short-circuit currents may exceed the capabilities of standard domestic circuit breakers.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Electrical Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect a circuit when excessive current is detected. Thermal protection responds to sustained overload conditions, while the electromagnetic mechanism reacts rapidly to high short-circuit currents. This combined protection helps prevent cable damage, equipment failure and potentially hazardous overheating.
The ABB S300P range is designed for installations requiring compact dimensions and a high interruption capacity. The S302P-B16 is therefore well suited to industrial distribution systems, machinery and control panels where conventional low-capacity circuit breakers may not provide sufficient fault protection.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels and switchgear.
- Commercial electrical distribution systems.
- Machine building and OEM equipment.
- Lighting circuits with low starting currents.
- Automation and process-control installations.
- Distribution boards with high prospective fault currents.
