Electrical applications and motor installations must be protected, Protection functionalities
for example against overloading, phase failures, short circuits – – Overload
and faults in wiring. – – Short-circuit
– – Phase loss sensitivity
Manual motor starters provide fuseless protection against
short-circuits and overloading and can be used without any Other features
backup in standard applications. After tripping, the line is – – Manual control
ready to be switched on and can operate again – – Disconnect function
– – Handle can be locked in the OFF position
Customer benefit: – – Remote control via undervoltage trip or shunt release
–– Quick reaction – – Trip indication
–– High availability – – Temperature compensation
–– High safety – – Adjustable current setting

ABB offers a customer-orientated overall concept for the world Products for a complete ABB offer
market, which delivers experience and expertise in motor – – Standard manual motor starters of up to 100 A, 50 kA
protection – – High performance range of up to 100 A, 100 kA
– – Efficient standard and high performance products – – Magnetic-only devices (only short-circuit protection)
– – Worldwide approvals and services – – Manual motor starters in modular DIN rail design
– – Solutions for special technical applications – – Full range of accessories
– – Systems solutions

Features
– – Handle in the middle position after tripping (overload and
short-circuit (MS132, MO132, MS4xx, MO4xx)
– – Clear and reliable indication of fault in a separate
window in the event of short-circuit tripping (MS132, MO132)
–– Handle can be locked directly in the OFF position via
standard lock (MS132, MO132, MS4xx, MO4xx) without
accessories
–– Optimized match to the ABB contactors
