Applications & Use Cases

The ABB MO132-20 manual motor starter is ideally suited for motor branch circuit protection in industrial control panels, machine building, process automation, and OEM equipment. Its magnetic-only trip mechanism provides short-circuit protection without thermal overload, making it the preferred choice when a separate thermal overload relay handles overload protection. The 45 mm compact footprint and DIN rail mounting capability allow efficient use of panel space. With marine certifications including DNV, LR, RINA, and RMRS, the MO132-20 is also approved for shipboard and offshore installations.
