Overview

The ABB S803S-K16 is a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for precise protection in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems. Rated at 16A with a K-characteristic tripping curve, this device is optimized for sensitive inductive loads such as motors, transformers, and welding equipment, where rapid response to overloads and short circuits is critical. The S803S-K16 delivers a maximum breaking capacity of 50kA at 240/415V AC, ensuring reliable fault interruption even in high-fault current scenarios. It supports AC voltages up to 400/690V and DC voltages up to 125V (with 2 poles in series), making it suitable for a wide range of power distribution applications. The device features a cage terminal design for secure, tool-free wiring, reducing installation time and minimizing human error. Dual tripping mechanisms—thermal for overload protection and electromechanical for short-circuit protection—provide fast response times to minimize equipment damage during fault conditions. Compliance with IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2 standards ensures global applicability, with numerous international approvals for use in diverse markets. Built for durability, the S803S-K16 operates efficiently at a reference temperature of 40°C and offers an electrical endurance of 6,000 operations (1s ON, 9s OFF cycle) and mechanical endurance of 20,000 operations. Its IP20 protection degree (IP40 in enclosure with cover) and shock resistance up to 25g make it suitable for harsh operating environments. The real contact position indicator (green OFF/red ON) and trip position indicator (gray NO TRIP/orange TRIP) provide clear visual status feedback. Fast arc extinction enhances safety by reducing fault clearing time. The S803S-K16 is part of ABB’s global product line, designed for integration into existing systems with an extensive range of accessories for enhanced versatility. Its compact design and compliance with international standards make it a reliable choice for modern electrical protection needs.
