Motor starter switch 2-pole Z-MS-16/2 248399

Motor starter – reliable protection for motors and installations

This two-pole motor starter Z-MS-16/2 from Eaton is a key element in protecting the power circuits of electric motors. It provides effective protection against overload and short circuit, minimizing the risk of damage and downtime. The device's design, based on the thermomagnetic principle, guarantees a quick response to irregularities in the circuit.

Characteristics and application

This starter is designed to protect motors with a power of up to 7.5 kW at 400V AC. Its overload release setting range (10-16A) allows for precise adjustment to the load characteristics. The rated continuous current of 16A ensures stable operation even under prolonged load. The starter finds application in a wide range of electrical installations – from workshops and production plants to commercial and industrial buildings. Thanks to its compact dimensions (36 x 75 x 80 mm) it is easy to mount even in tight spaces.

Construction and user features

The device is made in a complete housing, which facilitates mounting and provides additional protection against external factors. The degree of protection IP20 means that it is protected against touching with a finger, which increases safety. The connection of the main contacts is made using screw connections – a proven and reliable method. The lever of the actuator allows for quick and intuitive control of the starter. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 10 kA at 400V AC guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit. Lack of phase failure sensitivity and lack of an integrated auxiliary contact simplify the design and reduce costs, while maintaining basic protective functions. The applied thermal protection protects the motor against overheating, which extends its lifespan.
