Standards & Compliance
Designed for compliance with international norms for miniature circuit breakers suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial use
The ABB S203-D16 is a compact 3-pole miniature circuit breaker designed for overload and short-circuit protection in low-voltage electrical distribution systems. It features a D-type tripping characteristic, making it suitable for circuits with high inrush currents such as motors, transformers, and inductive loads. The breaker is part of the ABB System pro M compact S200 series, engineered for DIN-rail mounting in industrial, commercial, and residential control panels.
