ABB MS116-16 1SAM250000R1011 MS116 Manual Motor Starter 10-16A

The ABB MS116-16 (article 1SAM250000R1011) is a manual motor starter - also referred to as a motor protection circuit breaker or manual motor protector - with a current setting range of 10 to 16 A and a compact 45 mm wide body. It combines manual motor switching with fuse-free protection against short-circuits, overloads, and phase failures. The device offers a rated service short-circuit breaking capacity (Ics) of 16 kA at 400 VAC with trip class 10A.

Technical specifications:

• Series: MS116-16
• ABB article number: 1SAM250000R1011
• EAN: 4013614320347
• Current setting range: 10 to 16 A
• Rated operational current (Ie): 16 A
• Device width: 45 mm
• Rated service short-circuit breaking capacity (Ics): 16 kA at 400 VAC
• Trip class: 10A
• Phase compatibility: Three-phase and single-phase

Features and benefits:

• Fuse-free motor protection covers short-circuits, overloads, and phase failures in a single device
• Built-in disconnect function enables safe circuit isolation without a separate isolator
• Temperature compensation keeps trip accuracy consistent across varying ambient conditions
• Trip-free mechanism ensures the protective function cannot be defeated by holding the handle
• Rotary handle with clear switch position indication simplifies on/off operation and status checks

Applications:

• Manual switching and protection of three-phase motors in industrial control panels
• Single-phase motor branch circuit protection where compact footprint is required
• Motor starter assemblies where fuseless design simplifies wiring and reduces component count
• Installations requiring lockout capability via optional locking accessories for unauthorised-operation prevention
