ABB MS116-0.63 Manual Motor Starter

ABB MS116-0.63 Manual Motor Starter is a compact, 3‑pole, 45 mm wide motor protection device designed for panel mounting in small to mid-size control circuits. It provides manual start/stop operation with integrated overload protection for motors and is rated for Ie 0.63 A, with a power rating around 0.12 kW (0.16 hp) at 230 V. The unit supports 220–240 V and higher voltage classes (440–480 V and up to 690 V line voltages) while maintaining the same current rating, enabling use across a wide range of industrial motor systems. Variants such as MS116-0.63-HKF1-11 include a pre‑assembled front‑mounted auxiliary contact for signaling or interlock purposes. The MS116 family can function as a motor disconnect when used with appropriate padlocks (SA1 or SA3) for basic lockout/tagout requirements. This model is cataloged under ABB’s 1SAM25 family (for example 1SAM250000R1004), aligning with small‑motor installations around 0.12 kW and 0.63 A. With thermal and magnetic protection and a standardized 45 mm footprint, the MS116-0.63 is commonly paired with contactors in panel layouts to provide both protection and manual control for compact motors in industrial equipment and machine controls.
