ABB MS132-12 Manual Motor Starter 3 Pole 12 Amp

ABB MS132-12 Manual Motor Starter is a compact, three‑pole motor protection and disconnect device designed for reliable start/stop control of AC motors in industrial panels. It accepts either single‑ or three‑phase supply and is rated for up to 12 A of operating current with a maximum motor voltage of 690 V AC, enabling motor sizes up to about 10 hp at 690 V. The unit includes built‑in thermal overload protection with a trip class of 10 and provides clear ON/OFF/TRIP indication for quick status checks. It is UL 508 listed as a manual motor controller and can be used as a self‑protected combination motor controller (Type E) when paired with a feeder block S1‑M3‑xx, or mounted with separate feeder blocks in standard control panels. The MS132‑12 variant is specified for an 8–12 A overload setting range, aligning with its 12 A nominal rating and common medium‑duty motor applications. Typical uses include conveyors, pumps, fans, and other machinery requiring straightforward motor control with reliable overload protection in a compact footprint.
