High-Quality MS116 Low Voltage Motor Protection Circuit Breaker Supplier, Manufacturers

The ABB MS116-16 is a compact motor protection circuit breaker designed for reliable motor control and protection in industrial applications. It provides comprehensive protection against overload, short-circuit, and phase loss for three-phase motors up to 7.5kW at 400V. With a 16A adjustable current range and Class 10A tripping characteristic, it ensures safe motor starting without nuisance tripping. The unit features a 50kA breaking capacity at 400V, temperature compensation from -25°C to +60°C, and a lockable handle for safety isolation. Its compact 45mm width saves panel space, while modular design allows easy integration with contactors and auxiliary contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between MS and MO series motor starters?
The MS series features thermal-magnetic trip protection, providing both overload and short-circuit protection. The MO series features magnetic-only trip, primarily for short-circuit protection.
What is the ambient air temperature range for the MS116?
The MS116 is designed to operate within an ambient air temperature range of -25°C to +55°C.
Does the MS116 include phase failure protection?
Yes, the MS116 model is equipped with phase failure protection as a standard feature.
What is the maximum rated current for the MS116 series?
The MS116 series covers a rated operational current range from 0.16A up to 32A.
Is the handle of the MS116 lockable?
While the MS132 and MS165 models feature a lockable handle without requiring extra accessories, the standard MS116 handle is not lockable by default.
What are the breaking capacities (Icu) of MS116 for small motors?
For motors up to 4.0 kW, the MS116 typically offers a short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu) of 50 kA at 400/415V.
