Suitable for

• Small motor control circuits
• Industrial automation systems
• Commercial HVAC equipment
• Pump and fan control applications

This device may not be suitable for applications requiring current ratings outside the specified 0.10 to 0.16 A range. It is also not intended for use in environments where specialized explosion-proof enclosures are mandatory unless installed within a compatible housing.

Key specifications

• Adjustment range: 0.10 to 0.16 A
• Protection type: Thermal and electromagnetic
• Mounting type: DIN-rail
• Operation interface: Rotary handle
• Functionality: Motor control and short-circuit protection

To use the ABB MS116-0.16, mount the device onto a standard DIN rail within your control panel. Connect the motor supply lines to the input terminals and the motor leads to the output terminals according to the wiring diagram. Once installed, set the current adjustment dial to the rated current of the motor. The rotary handle allows for manual switching of the motor, and the device will automatically trip in the event of an overload or short circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the full-load current of your motor matches the 0.10-0.16 A range
• Ensure the installation environment is compatible with the device's protection rating
• Confirm DIN-rail space availability in your electrical cabinet

For optimal performance and safety, ensure that all electrical connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque values and that the device is protected from excessive moisture and dust.
