Motor protection switch MS132 with thermal and electromagnetic protection represents the compact and powerful series with high short-circuit breaking capacity for motor protection up to 15 kW (400 V) with a module width of 45 mm. The temperature-compensated device has a rotary handle operation with a clear switch position indicator I/TRIP/0. In addition, MS132 has a short-circuit indicator. The rotary handle can be locked directly in the 0 position using a padlock. Auxiliary, signal and short-circuit signaling contacts as well as undervoltage and shunt current releases can be installed without tools. 3-phase rails for 65 A or 100 A and feed blocks for 25 mm² or 35 mm² allow several motor protection switches to be fed together. Protective housings and accessories for control cabinet and door installation complete the range.
