Applications & Use Cases

The ABB MO132-16 motor protection circuit-breaker is engineered for demanding industrial environments where reliable motor protection is critical. Its magnetic-only trip mechanism provides fast short-circuit protection without thermal overload tripping, making it ideal for use in combination motor starters alongside separate overload relays. Typical applications include:

• Direct-on-line (DOL) motor starter assemblies in control panels
• Pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyor drives rated up to 16 A
• Industrial automation machinery requiring IEC/EN 60947-4 compliant motor protection
• Marine and offshore installations (DNV, LR, RINA, RMRS approved)
• International projects requiring multi-market certification (CE, UKCA, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC)
