- Diretrizes de seleção
✅ Select when motor rated current falls within 10~16A
⚠️ Optimally set operating current near the middle of adjustment range; avoid continuous operation at the lower limit of 10A
⚠️ For motors with frequent heavy-duty start-up, calculate starting current; upgrade to MS132 series if necessary
🔁 In-platform upgrade alternative: MS132-16 (maior capacidade de interrupção, expanded accessory compatibility); domestic alternatives: Schneider GV2ME16, CHINT NS2-25 (10~16A)
- Marcações de terminais
Top terminals: 1L1, 3L2, 5L3 (Power supply incoming)
Bottom terminals: 2T1, 4T2, 6T3 (Motor load outgoing)
Typical Applications of ABB MS116-16 (3P, 10~16A)
Adjustable current range: 10~16A; suitable for 3-phase motors ≤7.5kW @400V. Combines overload, short-circuit and phase-loss protection in one unit, replacing separate circuit breaker + relé de sobrecarga térmica. Designed for direct-on-line (DOL) circuitos motores.
- General Industrial Applications
- Fãs (3~7.5kW)
Workshop exhaust fans, dust extraction fans, centrifugal fans, oven circulating fans, ventiladores de torre de resfriamento.
Operating feature: Light-load start, operação estável. Built-in phase-loss protection prevents motor burnout from single-phasing.
- Bombas (3~7.5kW)
Circulating pumps, cooling water pumps, clean water pumps, small sewage pumps, chilled water circulation pumps for HVAC systems.
Observação: Submersible pumps require level control; confirm motor current is within 10~16A before selection.
- Equipamento de transporte
Light-duty belt conveyors, roller conveyors, slat conveyors, small elevators.
Suitable for light loads; NOT recommended for frequent forward/reverse impact loads. Upgrade to MS132 for heavy frequent start-stop duty.
- Drives for Packaging Machinery
Small carton sealers, conveyor drive motors, stretch wrapping machines, small mixing motors.
- AVAC & Building Services
- Condenser fans of central air conditioning units, AHU supply/return fans
- Underground car park ventilation fans, auxiliary smoke exhaust fans (excluding primary fire smoke exhaust fans; fire circuits require components complying with local fire codes)
- Small circulation pumps for heat exchange stations
- Plásticos, Carpintaria & Food Light Industry
- Feeder motors & stirring motors for small extruders
- Spindle motors for wood sanders and small cutting machines
- Agitator pumps and conveyor motors for food production lines (ambiente seco)
- Tratamento de Água & Proteção Ambiental
- Small chemical dosing agitator motors
- Small aeration pumps, sludge screw conveyor motors
- Drive motors for small filtration equipment
⚠️ Not Recommended Application Scenarios (Armadilhas de seleção)
- Motor rated current <10A or >16A (outside adjustment range)
- Heavy-duty high-inrush equipment (air compressor main motors, large crushers) with extreme starting current
- Motor circuits requiring star-delta starting or soft starters (MS116 only applies to direct-on-line starting)
- High-impact loads and frequent stall conditions
- Explosion hazardous areas (explosion-proof enclosure assembly required; unit itself has no Ex certification)
- Projects where specifications mandate separate circuit breaker + relé de sobrecarga térmica (integrated MMS cannot be adopted)
✅ Standard Control Configuration
MS116-16 + ABB Contactor → Direct-On-Line motor starter circuit
Acessórios opcionais:
HKF1-11 Auxiliary contact (running status feedback)
HKF1-02 Fault signalling contact (transmit overload/short-circuit trip signal to PLC)

- Imported Brand Direct Equivalents
| Fabricante | Modelo | Adjustment Range | Tipo de operação | Key Remarks |
| ABB (In-range Upgrade) | MS132-16 | 10~16A | Botão giratório | Upgraded version of MS116, higher short-circuit breaking capacity, fully interchangeable accessories; preferred OEM replacement |
| Schneider Elétrica | GV3P16 | 10~16A | Botão giratório | Identical operation style, direct counterpart; TeSys GV3 series |
| Schneider Elétrica | GV2ME20C | 13~18A | Botão | Partial overlapping range; not recommended if 10A lower limit is required. GV2ME16C covers only 9~14A (mismatched range, cannot be used as direct replacement) |
| Siemens | 3RV2021-4AA10 | 10~16A | Botão giratório | 3RV2021 series, widely used imported alternative for industrial projects |
| EATON | PKZM0-16 | 10~16A | Botão giratório | Moeller technology platform, common replacement for overseas machinery |
| Shihlin Electric | MR-32-16 | 10~16A | Botão giratório | Taiwanese brand, popular for localisation of imported equipment |
- Alternativas Domésticas (Cost-Effective Solutions)
| Fabricante | Modelo | Adjustment Range | Tipo de operação | Aplicativo |
| CHINT | NS2-25X 16 | 10~16A | Botão giratório | Standard NS2-25 = push-button; suffix X = rotary version, matches MS operation style |
| Delixi Eletrônica | CDV2s-32/16 | 10~16A | Botão giratório | New CDV2s rotary series; legacy CDP6-32 mainly push-button |
| Pessoas elétricas | RMM1S-32/3P 16 | 10~16A | Botão giratório | General domestic motor protection circuit breaker |

- Critical Risks for Cross-Brand Replacement
- Current Range Hard Limit
MS116-16 = 10~16A
❌ Forbidden substitutions: GV2ME16C (9~14A), 3RV2021-1AA10 (6~10A). Mismatched upper/lower limits lead to ineffective motor protection.
- Operating Mechanism Difference
Botão giratório: MS116, GV3P, 3RV2021, PKZM0
Botão: GV2ME, base CDP6, base NS2-25
Standardised cabinet projects & export machinery often require consistent operation form.
- Instantaneous Short-Circuit Trip Threshold
ABB MS116 fixed instantaneous trip at 80A. Instantaneous thresholds vary between brands. Verify motor starting current for heavy-start loads to avoid nuisance tripping.
- Accessory Incompatibility
Auxiliary contacts and fault signalling contacts from different brands cannot be interchanged. When retrofitting equipment, PLC feedback circuits need matching new accessories.
- Shortlist for Direct Procurement
✅ Perfect imported rotary-knob equivalents: Siemens 3RV2021-4AA10 / EATON PKZM0-16 / Schneider GV3P16
✅ ABB factory upgrade option: MS132-16
✅ Cost-effective domestic rotary-knob models: CHINT NS2-25X-16 / Delixi CDV2s-32 (10~16A)
