Long Description:                   The MS116-0.63 manual motor starter (also known as motor protection circuit breaker or manual motor protector) is a                                                  compact 45 mm width device with a rated operational current of Ie = 0.63 A. This device is used to manually switch on                                                and off motors and to protect them reliably and without the need for a fuse from short-circuits, overload and phase                                                      failures. The manual motor starter offers a rated service short-circuit breaking capacity Ics = 50 kA at 400 VAC and trip                                                class 10A. Further features are the build-in disconnect function, temperature compensation, trip-free mechanism and a                                                rotary handle with a clear switch position indication. The manual motor starter is suitable for three- and single-phase                                                    applications. Auxiliary contacts, signaling contacts, undervoltage releases, shunt trips, 3-phase bus bars, power in-feed                                                blocks and locking devices for protection against unauthorized changes are available as accessory.

1. Standards and approvals for manual motor starters
All ABB low voltage devices are developed and manufactured according to the rules set out in the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). The IEC issues publications that act as a basis for the world market. The applicable standard is the IEC 60947 series for Europe and UL 60947 for North America. All devices are built according to this standard and in most countries, they are not subject to any other tests besides the manufacturer responsibility. In some countries, the law requires additional certification.
2.Basic function
Manual motor starters protect the motor and the installation against short-circuits and overloads. They are three
pole electro-mechanical protection devices with a release for overload protection and short-circuit protection. Furthermore, they provide a disconnect function for safe isolation of the installation and the power supply and the can
be used for switching loads ON and OFF manually.

3.General use and heaters
The harmonized utilization category AC-1 covers general and resistive type loads. This includes non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, as well as resistance furnaces and heaters. Additional ratings, such as “Resistance Air Heating” and “CSA Electrical Heating Control”, which require additional electrical cycling, can be performed to further validate control devices for use in heating applications. However, the general use of the AC-1 rating is enough for most heating applications.
ABB manual motor starters are suitable for manual control and protection of heating loads. Magnetic only (MO) types can be selected when additional overload protection is not required or realized by a separate overload protection device.
