ABB MS132-10K Manual Motor Starter

ABB (Allen‑Bradley) MS132-10K Manual Motor Starter is a compact, 45 mm‑wide device that provides manual control of small motors while delivering built‑in protection. The unit is designed for three‑ and single‑phase applications and uses push‑in spring terminals for quick, secure wiring. It features an Ie rated operational current of 10.0 A and a service short‑circuit breaking capacity Ics of 100 kA at 400 VAC, with a trip class of 10 for reliable overload and short‑circuit protection. The MS132‑10K also includes a built‑in disconnect function, temperature compensation, and a trip‑free mechanism, with a rotary handle that offers a clear switch‑position indication; the handle is lockable to prevent unauthorized changes in the field. Optional accessories such as auxiliary contacts, signaling contacts, undervoltage releases, shunt trips, and terminal spacers extend its functionality without altering core protection. As part of ABB’s MS132 family, this manual motor starter is commonly used to protect and control motors in motor control centers, control panels, and machine‑tool applications, either as a standalone device or as part of a motor protection circuit that does not require separate fusing.
