The ABB MS116 manual motor starter is a robust electro-mechanical protection device designed for the main circuit of motors. It serves as a manual ON/OFF switch while safeguarding motors against short-circuit, overload, and phase failures. A key advantage is its fuse-less protection, which reduces costs, saves space, and ensures a rapid response during short-circuit events by switching off the motor within milliseconds. These starters are frequently implemented in combination with contactors for comprehensive motor protection and control. The device features adjustable current settings for overload protection, suitability for both three- and single-phase applications, a trip-free mechanism, and clear switch position indication.
