New Dimension in Motor Protection
Manual Motor Starter MS116

Economic fuseless protection for motors up to 7.5 kW MS116: a new asset among manual motor starters

Know-how you can trust

As a manufacturer of electrical motors ABB has
gathered quite some knowledge in the design
of these rather valuable production assets. At
ABB, however, motor know-how exceeds mere
questions of design, and therefore ABB has
made it its business to not only ensure that your
motors work properly, but that their special
protection needs are also taken care of.
Depending on the application, electrical drives
are exposed to strong load variations.
Moreover there is always a possibility for fault
within the motor or the installation, so your
drives must be protected against:

• Overload

• Short Circuit

• Faults in cable or wiring

• Phase fault
All of the above can destroy the motor, the

wiring and in a worst case scenario even your
whole installation. Therefore, in cases of faults
or damage, every motor needs a reliable pro­tection.

ABB is experienced in the production of circiut
breakers and electrical protection devices. Now
ABB has rounded up its manual motor starter
family for the protection of motors in a wattage
range up to 7.5 kW: presenting the MS116,
your gateway to a more economical motor
protection.

The MS116 is ideal for the protection of smaller
motors up to 7.5 kW, for example in general
applications like:

• packing machines

• wood-industry

• saws and chopping machines

• agricultural machines

• for pumps

• conveyor-systems

• air-conditionings.
