Why Choose the ABB S803S-D16 High-Performance MCB?
The ABB S803S-D16 is a high-performance three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits in demanding industrial power distribution systems. As part of the ABB S800S high-performance circuit breaker series, it combines a 16 A rated current, Type D tripping characteristic and a high 50 kA short-circuit breaking capacity.
The Type D characteristic is particularly suited to circuits supplying equipment with high starting or inrush currents, including motors, transformers and other inductive loads. Thermal and electromagnetic tripping mechanisms provide dependable protection against sustained overload conditions and high-current short-circuit faults while reducing unwanted operation during normal equipment start-up.
Its three-pole construction enables coordinated protection and switching of three-phase circuits. The S803S-D16 is designed for professional industrial distribution, machinery and control-panel applications where robust construction, high fault-current capability and reliable overcurrent protection are required.

Reliable Protection for High-Inrush Three-Phase Loads
High-performance miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB S803S-D16 automatically disconnect electrical circuits when current exceeds permitted operating limits. Thermal protection responds to sustained overload conditions, while the electromagnetic mechanism rapidly interrupts high-current short circuits to help protect cables, equipment and electrical distribution infrastructure.
The Type D characteristic allows the S803S-D16 to accommodate higher transient starting currents than more sensitive breaker characteristics, making it particularly useful for motors, transformers and other inductive equipment. Combined with the S800S platform's high breaking capacity, this provides dependable protection for demanding three-phase industrial systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial three-phase electrical distribution systems.
- Machinery and automation control panels.
- Motor circuits with high starting currents.
- Transformer and inductive-load circuits.
- Manufacturing and production equipment.
- Installations requiring high short-circuit breaking capacity.
