The ABB S403M-C16NP is a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker from the S400 family, rated 16 A with a Trip Curve C characteristic at 240 VAC. The DIN-rail footprint means it snaps directly into a standard panel enclosure alongside other S400 or System pro M compact devices.
Curve C and the 16 A rating — what they mean for selection
Trip Curve C means the magnetic trip operates at 5 to 10 times rated current (80 to 160 A for this 16 A breaker). The 16 A rating governs the continuous load it can carry; for a 240 VAC single-phase circuit that works out to roughly 3.8 kW resistive, but the real limit is the connected load's steady-state current, not the breaker's ampacity.
