ABB MS116-16A Manual Motor Starter 10-16A

ABB MS116 Manual Motor Starter — 10-16A for Motor Protection Without PLC in Saudi Small Applications

The ABB MS116 manual motor starter provides combined motor protection (thermal overload + disconnect) in a single device — eliminating the need for separate circuit breaker and overload relay on small motor applications in Saudi HVAC, water treatment, and packaging equipment where PLC control is not required.

Saudi small industrial users increasingly specify MS116 instead of individual breaker + overload combination — the MS116 dial-set overload and integrated disconnect function reduce panel wiring and cost for simple motor-driven equipment.

Key Features

Dial-Set Overload: Rotary dial sets overload current (10-16A) without tools — quick setup on site.

Integrated Disconnect: Motor isolation switch in one device — satisfies Saudi electrical code requirement for visible motor disconnect.

Through-Trip Contacts: Undervoltage trip mechanism — motor cannot restart after power outage until MS116 is manually reset.

Side-Mount Auxiliary: Auxiliary contact block mounts on side — add start/stop status signaling without replacing starter.

Applications in Saudi Arabia

Jeddah Workshop Air Compressors: MS116-16A protects 4kW piston compressor motors.

Riyadh Irrigation Pump Stations: MS116 protects 5.5kW irrigation pump motors.
