MS132-10 manual motor starter: motor-current setting and coordination guide
The ABB MS132-10 is a compact manual motor starter with a 6.3–10 A adjustable setting range and a 45 mm housing width. ABB lists it as a class 10 device. Set the dial to the motor nameplate current and coordinate the starter with the contactor, short-circuit protection and the applicable motor-starting duty.

The table summarizes family or catalog values for identification and initial selection. Confirm the nameplate, environmental limits, standards, revision and options for the exact device before procurement or engineering approval.
Application and system selection
This device combines manual motor switching with motor protection for suitable three-phase motor circuits. Confirm the motor’s full-load current, starting method, prospective short-circuit current and required coordination type. For a complete starter assembly, verify the paired contactor, auxiliary contacts, enclosure and any undervoltage or shunt-trip accessories separately.
Configuration and compatibility
Check that the specified MS132-10 version and order code match the panel design and available accessories. Do not infer compatibility from similar MS116 or MS165 model names. Review ABB coordination tables for the actual voltage, motor power, contactor and upstream fuse/breaker combination before approval.

Installation and commissioning
Isolate the circuit before installation, mount the device on the specified rail or assembly, and tighten conductors to the manual’s torque values. Set and document the motor-current dial, test the switching and trip response under the approved procedure, and verify downstream interlocks before returning the motor to service.
Replacement and procurement information
For a quotation or replacement review, provide the complete designation MS132-10, 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.
