Why Choose the ABB S203M-D16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB S203M-D16 is a robust miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide reliable overload and short-circuit protection in residential, commercial and industrial electrical installations. Part of the ABB System pro M compact S200M series, it delivers high breaking capacity, current limiting performance and compact DIN rail installation for professional distribution systems.

With a 16 A rated current and D tripping characteristic, the S203M-D16 is suitable for circuits with high inrush currents, including motors, transformers, solenoids and industrial equipment. Its 3-pole configuration provides coordinated protection across three-phase circuits.

The ABB S203M-D16 combines a durable modular housing, secure screw terminals and a high 10 kA breaking capacity. This makes it a dependable choice for control panels, distribution boards and machinery installations where safe, consistent and standards-compliant circuit protection is required.

Key Advantages

  • Reliable miniature circuit breaker for three-phase circuit protection.
  • 16 A rated current for industrial and commercial circuits.
  • D characteristic suitable for high inrush current applications.
  • 3-pole configuration for coordinated three-phase protection.
  • 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity for dependable fault protection.
  • Compact DIN rail mounted design for professional electrical installations.

Key Features

  • ABB S200M miniature circuit breaker series.
  • 16 A rated current.
  • D tripping characteristic.
  • 3-pole configuration.
  • 10 kA rated short-circuit breaking capacity.
  • Thermal magnetic trip mechanism for overload and short-circuit protection.
  • Compatible with ABB System pro M compact accessories.
  • Compact modular housing with secure screw terminals.

Reliable Protection for High Inrush Three-Phase Circuits

Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S203M-D16 automatically disconnect electrical circuits when overload or short-circuit conditions occur. This helps protect cables, connected equipment and electrical installations from damage while supporting safer operation.

The D characteristic is designed for circuits with high starting currents, making the S203M-D16 suitable for motors, transformers, solenoids and other inductive equipment where short-duration inrush current is expected.
