Motor starter switch 2-pole Z-MS-2.5/2 248395

Motor starter – reliable motor protection

The Eaton Z-MS-2.5/2 motor starter is a compact and efficient device designed to protect electric motors from overload and short circuit. It is ideal for industrial installations, workshops, and home applications requiring reliable motor protection up to 0.75 kW. The device's design ensures a quick response to failures, minimizing the risk of damage and downtime.

Functionality and application

This two-pole (2P) starter with an overload release setting range of 1.6-2.5A protects circuits powering motors with a rated continuous current of up to 2.5A. The rated operating power for AC-3 at 400V is 0.75 kW, making it a suitable choice for a wide range of applications. The starter features a thermal-magnetic release method – meaning it responds to both overloads (thermal) and short circuits (magnetic). This provides comprehensive protection for the electrical installation and connected devices. The IP20 protection degree guarantees protection against accidental contact, but does not protect against the effects of water or dust – therefore, the device should be mounted in dry and closed rooms.

Advantages in practice

• Motor protection: Protects electric motors from the effects of overloads and short circuits, extending their lifespan and minimizing repair costs.
• Fast response: The thermal-magnetic release method ensures a quick intervention in the event of a failure, preventing more serious damage.
• Compact dimensions: Small dimensions (36 mm wide, 75 mm high and 80 mm deep) make it easy to install even in tight switchgear spaces.
• Easy installation: Screw connection of the main contacts ensures secure and convenient connection of wires.
• Compliance with standards: The device meets applicable safety standards, guaranteeing reliable operation and safe use.
• Durable construction: Made of high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Rated short-circuit breaking capacity: 10 kA at 400V AC provides effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit.
• Short-circuit adjustment range: Adjustment in the range of 25-33A allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the starter to the specifics of the protected installation.

Thanks to these features, the Eaton Z-MS-2.5/2 starter is an excellent choice for both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable solution to protect their electric motors.
