Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between MO132 and MS132 series?
The MO132 is a magnetic-only motor protection circuit-breaker providing short-circuit protection only. The MS132 includes a built-in thermal overload function. Use MO132-1.6 when a separate overload relay is already present in the circuit.
What is the breaking capacity of the MO132-1.6?
The MO132-1.6 offers an industry-leading breaking capacity of 100 kA at 400 V AC, making it suitable for high fault-current industrial environments.
What DIN rail width does the MO132-1.6 require?
The MO132-1.6 occupies 45 mm of DIN rail width and is compatible with standard IEC 60715 35 mm DIN rails.
