1SAM250000R1009 MS116-6.3: MS116-6.3 motor starter: current setting and short-circuit coordination
The ABB MS116-6.3 is a manual motor starter with an adjustable setting range of 4.0–6.3 A. Its dial setting must match the motor nameplate current and the design’s protection method. Short-circuit performance depends on the prospective fault level and the tested upstream combination, so use ABB coordination data for the installation voltage.

Application and system selection
This product is used to manually switch and protect a motor feeder within its current range. Confirm motor full-load current, starting characteristics, conductor protection, contactor pairing and the required trip behavior. Do not use the range endpoints as a default setting; the actual adjustment must follow the motor and applicable electrical rules.
Configuration and compatibility
The MS116 range includes several current bands and accessories. Verify the exact current range, auxiliary contacts, shunt or undervoltage release and enclosure requirements. For a tested starter assembly, check the ABB combination tables for the specified contactor and short-circuit protective device rather than extrapolating from a similar MS116 size.

Installation and commissioning
Install on a suitable DIN rail, maintain required spacing and torque line/load terminals to the product instructions. Verify phase wiring and motor overload setting before applying power. Test manual switching, trip indication and any auxiliary feedback, then perform the required protection coordination and functional checks as part of the feeder commissioning.
Replacement and procurement information
For a quotation or replacement review, provide the complete designation 1SAM250000R1009 MS116-6.3, the order code where applicable, serial or hardware revision, quantity, operating environment, connected equipment and required delivery date. Include a legible nameplate image and relevant wiring, loop or switchgear drawing so the exact interface and configuration can be checked.
Ask the supplier to confirm accessories, revision compatibility and any approved successor in writing. Do not select solely from a family name or product photograph. Follow the current ABB installation and safety instructions for the exact unit.
