Product details

The ABB S803S-B16 is a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker from the S800S series, rated 16 A with a trip curve B characteristic. Curve B means it trips between 3 and 5 times the rated current (48–80 A magnetic trip), which is the standard choice for resistive or general-purpose loads where inrush is low — lighting, heating, control transformers. The 50 kA interrupting rating at 230 VAC tells you it can safely clear a fault up to that level without welding contacts or cascading upstream, which is high for an MCB this size; you'd typically see 10–25 kA in a residential-grade unit. That puts it in the industrial panel class where fault currents are higher.

The 3-pole format handles three-phase circuits (L1, L2, L3) in a single housing, so it fits a 3-module width on the rail. Common deployment: feeding a three-phase motor branch circuit, a distribution sub-panel, or a bank of contactors where the upstream protection needs to be coordinated.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting rating of S803S-B16?

50 kA at 230 VAC. That is the maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt without damage.

Where can I buy S803S-B16 and get current pricing?

We source this part to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What does trip curve B mean on this breaker?

Curve B trips magnetically between 3 and 5 times the rated current (48–80 A for the 16 A version). It is intended for resistive loads and general-purpose circuits with low inrush current.
