Cerus CMS-32S Manual Motor Starter

Cerus CMS-32S Manual Motor Starter is a compact, UL 508-oriented motor controller in the 32AF frame family that provides reliable ON/OFF control with integrated overload protection for small to mid-size motors. The CMS-32S line is offered in variants CMS-32S-.16, CMS-32S-.25, CMS-32S-.4, and CMS-32S-.63, each pairing a manual motor controller with a thermal overload element whose range is model-specific, and with optional magnetic release for short-circuit protection. These starters are designed for use in control panels and OEM equipment where dependable local motor starting and motor protection matter, and they support typical 50/60 Hz power configurations. Voltage and current ratings are model-dependent, so the exact variant you select will define the compatible voltages and motor load range; consult the specific data sheet for precise specifications. When choosing, match the Ie rating to your motor’s full-load current and consider the available thermal overload adjustment and the potential magnetic release configuration if short-circuit protection is required. Typical applications include conveyors, pumps, fans, and other equipment requiring a compact, code-compliant motor starter with integrated overload protection for straightforward control and panel integration.
