ABB Motor Starter, Manual - MS116 Series (4.0-6.3A)

Manual motor starters, also known as motor protection circuit breakers (MPCBs) or manual motor protectors (MMPs), are electromechanical protection devices for the main circuit. The MS116 range consists of 45mm wide compact motor starters for protection up to 15.5kW/32A. Features and Benefits: -Fuseless protection saves costs, space and ensures a quick reaction under short-circuit condition by switching the motor off within milliseconds -Built-in disconnect function, temperature compensation, trip-free mechanism and a rotary handle with a clear switch position indication -Simple connecting links ensure electrical and mechanical connection to build direct-on-line starters -Less machine downtime by protecting motors and reduced trouble shooting and reduced maintenance expenditures by protecting motors -Manual control/short-circuit current and overload protection -Remote control via under-voltage release or shunt trip Typical Applications: -Used to switch motors ON/OFF manually and to provide fuseless protection against short-circuit, overload and phase failures -Suitable for single-phase and three-phase applications
