The ABB MS116 manual motor starter is a robust electro-mechanical protection device designed for the main circuit of motors. It serves to manually switch motors ON/OFF and protect them against short-circuit, overload, and phase failures. Fuse-less protection saves costs and space while ensuring a quick reaction under short-circuit conditions, switching off the motor within milliseconds. These starters are typically used in conjunction with contactors and offer adjustable current settings for overload protection, a disconnect function, and temperature compensation. They are ideal for industrial applications requiring reliable motor protection and control.
