Motor protection switch Etipo MPE 25-1,6 (MPN 004648006) for motor overload protection 1.6 A

Etipo MPE 25-1,6 motor protection switch is a thermal-magnetic motor circuit protector designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection for small electric motors. With a rated trip current of 1.6 A and manual reset functionality, this device is intended for integration into motor control panels, starters and protective enclosures where reliable motor protection and selective tripping are required.

Advantages

The motor protection switch combines thermal overload sensing with magnetic short-circuit trip, enabling protection against sustained overcurrent and sudden faults. It offers adjustable protection within its specified range and a manual reset feature for controlled restart after a fault. The compact design allows straightforward mounting in industrial and commercial control cabinets while maintaining clear current setting and visible operating state.

Suitable for

• Protection of small electric motors in industrial control panels
• Pump and fan motor protection in commercial installations
• Use in motor starters and simple motor control circuits
• Retrofit or replacement in existing protection assemblies with compatible ratings

Key specifications

• Type: thermal-magnetic motor protection switch
• Rated trip current: 1.6 A
• Function: overload and short-circuit protection with manual reset
• Mounting: panel/control cabinet compatible compact housing
• Application class: designed for motor protection in industrial and commercial environments

How to use

Install the motor protection switch in the motor control panel according to the electrical wiring diagram and local regulations. Connect line and load conductors to the appropriate terminals, set the current adjustment to the required protection level near the motor's full-load current, and ensure a secure mechanical fit in the enclosure. After a trip caused by overload or short-circuit, perform the necessary inspection of the motor and circuit, clear the fault, and use the manual reset to restore operation when it is safe to do so.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with the motor's rated current and starting characteristics before installation, follow applicable wiring standards and protective earth requirements, and periodically inspect connections and settings to ensure reliable operation.
