Why Choose the ABB DS203NCK16A30 RCBO?
The ABB DS203NCK16A30 (DS203NC K16 A30) is a compact and reliable residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) designed to protect three-phase electrical circuits against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults. As part of the ABB System pro M compact DS203NC series, it combines residual-current and overcurrent protection in a single four-module device for commercial and industrial electrical installations.
This Type A RCBO detects sinusoidal AC residual currents as well as pulsating DC residual currents, providing effective protection for modern electrical loads. Its 30 mA rated residual operating current provides additional protection against electric shock, while the integrated K tripping characteristic is particularly suitable for circuits and equipment with higher starting currents.
With a rated current of 16 A and a 3P+N configuration, the DS203NCK16A30 is designed for three-phase final circuits requiring combined overcurrent and residual-current protection. Its compact four-module DIN-rail format helps conserve valuable distribution-board space while providing comprehensive protection in one device.

Reliable Protection for Three-Phase Electrical Circuits
RCBOs such as the ABB DS203NC combine the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and residual-current device in one unit. This enables a single protective device to respond to overloads, short circuits and potentially hazardous earth leakage currents while simplifying distribution-board design and reducing the space required for circuit protection.
The DS203NC Type A range is designed for commercial and industrial installations where protection against sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC residual currents is required. The K characteristic makes this version particularly useful for loads with elevated starting currents, while the 30 mA residual-current sensitivity provides additional protection against electric shock.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase commercial electrical circuits.
- Industrial distribution boards and control panels.
- Three-phase final circuits requiring 30 mA residual-current protection.
- Motors and equipment with elevated starting currents.
- Machinery and industrial equipment supplies.
- Building services and electrical distribution systems.
