2CDS253001R0164 ABB SH203-C16 MCB 3P 16A C Curve 6kA DIN Rail

The ABB S203-C16 (article 2CDS253001R0164) is a 3-pole, 16 A miniature circuit breaker from the S200 System pro M compact range, featuring a C tripping characteristic and a 6 kA AC breaking capacity. Designed for overload and short-circuit protection in a single compact device, it is suited to residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations.

Technical specifications:

• Series: S203-C16
• ABB article number: 2CDS253001R0164
• EAN: 4016779468008
• Rated current: 16 A
• Poles: 3P
• Tripping characteristic: C
• Breaking capacity (AC): 6 kA
• Operating voltage: 230/400 V AC

Features and benefits:

• Current limiting design reduces energy let-through during fault events, protecting downstream equipment.
• Delayed thermal tripping mechanism guards against sustained overload conditions.
• Electromechanical tripping mechanism reacts instantly to short-circuit currents, limiting fault damage.
• Bottom-fitting auxiliary contact can be mounted on the device to save 50% space, supporting compact panel layouts.
• Complies with IEC/EN 60898-1, IEC/EN 60947-2, and UL1077, supporting use across residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Applications:

• Final circuit protection in domestic and residential distribution boards.
• Commercial building switchgear, panel boards, and consumer units.
• Industrial control cabinets and machinery requiring C-curve inrush tolerance.
• Branch circuits supplying motors or other loads with moderate inrush currents.
