Product details

Panel fit versus the MS116 family

The MS165-16: The closest functional peers in the ABB manual motor starter lineup are the MS116-1.0 and MS116-6.3. Both are 3-phase manual motor protectors, but the MS116 series covers a lower current band — the MS116-1.0 handles 6.3–10 A, and the MS116-6.3 covers 4–6.3 A.

Sourcing and compliance posture

Compliance documentation — RoHS, REACH, and the relevant IEC/UL standards for manual motor starters — is provided by ABB with the product. The type designation (Manual Motor Starter) tells you this is a coordinated motor-protective device, not a bare disconnect or a contactor.

Frequently asked questions

Will MS165-16 drop into a panel that was specified around MS116-1.0 without rewiring?

No — the MS165-16 is a higher-current manual motor starter than the MS116-1.0 (which covers 6.3–10 A) or the MS116-6.3 (4–6.3 A). The frame size and current rating differ, so a panel designed for an MS116 series unit will require rewiring and possibly a different DIN-rail footprint to accept the MS165-16.
