MS116 manual motor starters

0.10 to 32 A with thermal and electromagnetic protection

2CDC241010F0011

Description

MS116-16

Manual motor starters (MMS) are protection devices for the main circuit. They combine motor control and
protection in a single device. MMS are used mainly to switch motors manually ON/OFF and protect them
and the installation fuse less against short-circuit, overload and phase failures. Fuse less protection with
a manual motor starter saves costs, space and ensures a quick reaction under short-circuit condition, by
switching off the motor within milliseconds.
MS116 is a compact and economic range for motor protection up to 7.5 kW (400 V) / 32 A in width of 45mm.
Further features are the build-in disconnect function, temperature compensation, trip-free mechanism and
a rotary handle with a clear switch position indication. The manual motor starter is suitable for three- and
single-phase applications. Auxiliary contacts, signalling contacts, undervoltage releases, shunt trips, threephase bus bars, power in-feed blocks and locking devices for protection against unauthorized changes
are available as accessory.
