Abb ms116-10 Manual Motor Starter 5hp 6.3-10A 690V

Product Description

The ABB ms116-10 is a compact, 3-pole manual motor starter designed to protect three-phase motors from overload and short-circuit conditions using combined thermal and magnetic trip mechanisms. Rated for 6.3 to 10 amps with a maximum voltage rating of 690 volts, it delivers an interrupt rating of 50 kA at 400VAC, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. The open enclosure design allows for direct panel or DIN rail integration. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians install this device as a motor branch-circuit protective device in motor control applications.

The ms116-10 fits motor control applications requiring compact, self-contained protection without a separate contactor or overload relay assembly. With a horsepower rating of 5 hp at 480 volts and a power rating of 4 kW, it suits small to medium three-phase motors found in pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyor systems in light industrial and commercial settings. The MS116 Series is a widely used product family for manual motor protection in control panels and motor control centers.

Key Features

• 50 kA interrupt rating at 400VAC suits high-fault-current industrial environments
• 3-pole design provides balanced protection across all phases
• Open enclosure allows flexible panel integration and DIN rail mounting
• Compact MS116 Series form factor minimizes panel space requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style manual motor starter replacement within the ABB MS116 Series for three-phase motor branch-circuit protection applications. Alternate manufacturer part number 1SAM250000R1010.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the motor circuit before installing or servicing this device. Verify that the motor full-load amperage falls within the 6.3 to 10 amp adjustment range before commissioning. Do not exceed the published voltage or interrupt ratings for the installation.
