Why Choose the ABB DS203NCB16AC300 RCBO?
The ABB DS203NCB16AC300 is a compact and reliable 3P+N residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to protect three-phase electrical circuits against overloads, short circuits and residual earth-fault currents. As part of the advanced ABB DS203NC RCBO series, it combines residual-current and overcurrent protection within a single four-module device for efficient electrical distribution installations.
This RCBO has a rated current of 16 A, a Type B tripping characteristic and a rated residual operating current of 300 mA. Its Type AC residual-current characteristic provides detection of sinusoidal alternating residual currents, making the device suitable for appropriate AC circuits where this form of residual-current protection is specified.
With a rated voltage of 415 V AC and a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA, the DS203NC B16 AC300 provides coordinated protection for three-phase plus neutral circuits. Its compact DIN-rail format occupies four modules and integrates multiple protection functions into one device, helping simplify distribution-board and control-panel installations.
Key Advantages
- Combined residual-current, overload and short-circuit protection in one device.
- 16 A rated current with Type B tripping characteristic.
- 300 mA rated residual operating current.
- Type AC residual-current detection for sinusoidal alternating residual currents.
- 3P+N configuration for three-phase circuits with neutral.
- 6 kA rated short-circuit breaking capacity.

- 16 A rated current.
- Type B tripping curve.
- 300 mA residual-current sensitivity.
- Type AC residual-current characteristic.
- 3P+N four-pole configuration with three protected poles.
- 415 V AC rated voltage.
- 6 kA rated short-circuit breaking capacity.
- 50 / 60 Hz rated frequency.
- Compact four-module DIN-rail design.
Reliable Protection for Three-Phase Circuits
RCBOs such as the ABB DS203NCB16AC300 combine the functions of an overcurrent protective device and a residual-current protective device in a single unit. This allows the circuit breaker to respond to overload and short-circuit conditions while its residual-current function detects earth-fault currents, providing coordinated protection for suitable three-phase electrical circuits.
The DS203NC series is designed for compact three-phase distribution systems. Its 3P+N arrangement and four-module construction help conserve panel space compared with separate protective devices, while the Type B overcurrent characteristic is suited to circuits where low levels of inrush current are expected during normal operation.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase electrical distribution circuits.
- Commercial and industrial distribution boards.
- Electrical control panels and switchboards.
- Three-phase circuits requiring 3P+N protection.
- Circuits requiring combined overcurrent and residual-current protection.
- Building services and infrastructure electrical systems.
