ABB MS132-0.4 Manual Motor Starter

ABB MS132-0.4 Manual Motor Starter is a compact, three-pole motor protection and switching device designed for panel-mount control of small AC motors. This 45 mm wide unit provides manual ON/OFF operation with thermal overload protection and is rated for Ie = 0.40 A, with an adjustable thermal setting range from 0.40 to 0.63 A and a trip class of 10 to match motor protection needs. Each PCE weighs about 0.231 kg and carries a short-circuit current rating of 3 kA, with the standard order code 1SAM350000R1003. The IP20-enclosed starter is part of ABB's MS132 family and is intended for light- to medium-load motor circuits in industrial panels, with common applications including conveyors, fans, pumps, and machine tools where reliable start/stop control and overload protection are required. By combining manual switching with calibrated protection in a single 45 mm module, the MS132-0.4 simplifies panel wiring and helps prevent motor damage from overload events.
