Why Choose the ABB S203M-K16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The ABB S203M-K16 is a high-quality 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from the ABB System pro M compact S200M series. Designed for professional electrical installations, it provides reliable overload and short circuit protection for industrial, commercial and OEM control panel applications.

Featuring a K tripping characteristic, the S203M-K16 is particularly suitable for circuits with higher inrush currents, including transformers, motors, control circuits and inductive loads. Its current limiting design helps reduce fault energy, protecting connected equipment and improving installation reliability.

With a 16 A rated current, 3-pole configuration and 10 kA breaking capacity, the ABB S203M-K16 delivers dependable circuit protection in a compact DIN rail mounted format. It is suitable for three-phase electrical systems where reliable protection and compact installation are required.
