Why Choose the ABB S803S-K16-R High-Performance MCB?

The ABB S803S-K16-R is a high-performance three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide dependable overload and short-circuit protection in demanding electrical distribution systems. As part of the ABB S800S high-performance circuit breaker range, it combines a rated current of 16 A, Type K tripping characteristic and high short-circuit performance for industrial machinery, motors and power-distribution applications.

The S803S-K16-R uses thermal and electromagnetic tripping mechanisms to protect conductors and connected equipment against sustained overloads and short-circuit faults. Its current-limiting design rapidly interrupts high fault currents, helping reduce thermal and electrodynamic stresses on downstream components while providing reliable protection in installations with high prospective fault levels.

With a three-pole configuration, 16 A rated current and Type K characteristic, the S803S-K16-R is particularly suited to circuits containing motors, transformers and other inductive loads with elevated starting currents. Its 50 kA short-circuit breaking capacity provides robust protection for demanding industrial and commercial electrical systems.

High-Performance Protection for Inductive Loads

The ABB S800S range is engineered for electrical installations requiring high short-circuit performance and dependable protection against electrical faults. The S803S-K16-R automatically disconnects the protected circuit when overload or short-circuit conditions occur, helping safeguard conductors, machinery and downstream electrical equipment.

Its Type K characteristic provides tolerance of temporary starting currents while retaining effective protection for appropriately rated circuits. This makes the S803S-K16-R particularly suitable for motors, transformers and other inductive equipment where elevated inrush currents can occur during normal starting or energisation.
