The 54 A continuous rating means it directly protects a motor drawing up to that full-load current — the thermal-magnetic trip element tracks motor heating, not just fault current. ## How it compares to the MS116 family The MS165-54 is a larger-frame starter than the MS116 series. The MS116-1.0 is rated 10 A and the MS116-6.3 is rated 6.3 A — both are 3-pole manual motor protectors but in a smaller physical package.","metaTitle":"ABB MS165-54 Manual Motor Starter, 54 A, 3 Poles","metaDescription":"ABB MS165-54 manual motor starter, 54 A, 3 poles, 600 VAC.
