Motor starter MS116-1.6A 1SAM250000R1006

Motor starter for protection of three-phase motors

This three-pole motor starter MS116-1.6 is a reliable solution for protecting electric motors from overload and short circuit. Designed by ABB, it combines protection and control functions, ensuring safe and efficient operation of the installation. Its compact design and DIN rail mounting simplify installation and integration with existing systems.

Characteristics and application

The MS116-1.6 starter is designed to protect motors with a power of up to 0.55 kW at 400V (AC-3). It has an adjustable thermal release, which allows you to adjust the tripping threshold to the specific needs of the application – the adjustment range is 1.0 - 1.6 A. This ensures that the device effectively protects the motor from the effects of overloads, while minimizing the risk of unnecessary shutdown during short-term current surges, e.g. during motor start-up. This starter is used in a wide range of industrial and commercial installations where protection of electric motors is required.

Key features and benefits

• Thermomagnetic protection: provides comprehensive protection against overloads and short circuits, protecting the motor and electrical installation from damage.
• Adjustable current range: allows precise adjustment of the protection to the characteristics of the load, optimizing system performance.
• High short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu 100 kA at 400 V): guarantees quick and effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit, minimizing the risk of damage and fire.
• Phase failure sensitivity: additional protective function that protects the motor from damage caused by the absence of one of the supply phases.
• Rotary control: allows easy switching on and off of the motor circuit, ensuring ease of use.
• DIN rail mounting: facilitates quick and easy installation in electrical switchboards.
• Protection degree IP20: provides basic protection against accidental contact and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.
• Power loss at 5.1 W: allows to reduce energy consumption by the device

The MS116-1.6 starter is a solid and reliable device that will meet the expectations of even the most demanding users – both installers and operators of machines and electrical equipment.
