Why Choose the ABB ST203M-K16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB ST203M-K16 is a high-performance three-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection in industrial electrical and control systems. As part of the robust ABB ST200M series, it combines a 16 A rated current with a K tripping characteristic for circuits supplying inductive loads and equipment with elevated starting currents.
Designed for supplementary protection in accordance with UL 1077, the ST203M-K16 is suitable for industrial machinery, control panels and electrical equipment where reliable circuit protection and convenient DIN-rail installation are required. Its thermal-magnetic operating principle provides automatic interruption in response to overloads and short circuits.
The ST203M-K16 features three protected poles, a 16 A current rating and a K tripping characteristic. With a 15 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, it provides robust supplementary protection for industrial control equipment, inductive loads and automation applications.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Electrical Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB ST203M-K16 automatically disconnect a circuit when excessive current is caused by an overload or short circuit. This helps protect wiring and electrical equipment while allowing convenient reset and restoration of the circuit once the fault has been resolved.
The K characteristic is particularly suitable for industrial circuits containing inductive equipment that can draw increased current during start-up. Combined with the ST200M series' modular DIN-rail format, this makes the ST203M-K16 well suited to supplementary protection in machinery, automation equipment and industrial control panels.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- Electrical control panels and switchboards.
- Inductive loads and motor-related control circuits.
- Industrial electrical distribution equipment.
- OEM equipment requiring supplementary circuit protection.
