## Manual motor starter MS132 

Manual motor starters are electromechanical protection devices for the main circuit. They are used mainly to switch motors manually ON/OFF and protect them fuse less against short-circuit, overload and phase failures. Fuse less protection with a manual motor starter saves costs, space and ensures a quick reaction under short-circuit condition, by switching off the motor within milliseconds. Fuse less starter combinations are setup together with contactors.

## Application 

The manual motor starters protect the load and the installation against short-circuit and overload. They are three pole protection devices with thermal tripping elements for overload protection and electro-magnetic tripping elements for shortcircuit protection. Furthermore, they provide a disconnect function for safely isolation of the installation and the supply and can be used for the manual switching of loads. 

The manual motor starters have a setting scale in Amperes, which allows the direct adjusting of the device without any additional calculation. In compliance with international and national standards, the setting current is the rated current of the motor and not the tripping current (no tripping at 1.05 x I, tripping at 1.2 x I; I = setting current). 

## Operation mode 

## Single-phase operation 

## Three-phase operation
