Compact design more environmentally friendly
We took time out to listen to our customers needs and inte-
grated this wealth of experience into a state-of-the-art com-
pact, modular design. Our new 45 mm housings are up to a
third narrower than existing products on the market, saving
you space and enabling you to reduce the overall dimensions
of your panel without compromising on performance. This
slim-line design also utilises fewer raw materials in the manu-
facturing process and optimises heat dissipation, further
reducing your carbon footprint.
Accessories interchangeable and easy
ABBs motor control and protection range offers you a whole
host of accessories for practically any requirement. This
seamless range of snap-on accessories can be applied uni-
versally throughout the entire family of devices.
Our new contactors offer unique and groundbreaking flexibility
in terms of mounting options. Accessories can be mounted to
the left, right, top or bottom in order to fit your requirements,
providing you with greater flexibility in terms of engineering and
utilisation than ever before and that means no more wonder-
ing whether your accessories will be compatible or whether
they are going to fit your panel.
Flexibility for your application
Our engineers have taken modularity and uniformity to the
next level in terms of flexibility and practicality for your appli-
cations. This approach offers you huge benefits in the field.
Thanks to the unique contactor coil that covers both AC and
DC control voltages in compact size, it has never been easier
to interchange contactors. Forget about checking dimensions
and control supply modes now you can simply plug in a
replacement module from our range and youre ready to go.
User-friendly modular engineering
ABBs exciting new family of modular, integrated motor control
and protection devices takes you to the next level in terms of
productivity. This homogenous line of manual motor starters,
contactors, overload relays and soft starters for applications
up to 18.5 kW/400 V has been designed with your precise
needs in mind. We think youll agree that there is no better
way to maximise your productivity, increase efficiency, and
achieve greater flexibility.

Availability by design
Improved logistics and stock control
In terms of accessories, our new range couldnt be more
straightforward. This is because ABBs engineers have devel-
oped all of the components that make up the product line to
use the same standardised set of accessories. The MS132
family also facilitates the reduction of your warehousing and
logistical requirements by making use of the same accessories
for both the MS116 and the MS132, or through the assimilation
of AC and DC control supply modes into a single line of con-
tactors.
Fewer production shortages
ABBs engineers have spent a great deal of time out in the field
listening to your needs. The outcome of this research is a range
that has been especially tailored to help you avoid production
shortages. Innovative features such as our standardised 45 mm
housing take the guesswork out of maintenance and help you
keep downtimes to an absolute minimum genuine compatibility
that you can depend on, day in, day out.
Reduced inventory of parts
ABBs new range makes managing your inventory easier than
ever before. Conceived with simplicity in mind, our engineers
have made it possible to integrate the entire family into just a
few components. That not only simplifies the ordering process,
but also reduces the logistical complexity of your inventory,
making ordering your stock a snap.
Greater exchangeability
ABB has designed its innovative new range with exchangeability
in mind. For example, our range of standard-width 45 mm
contactors features just 4 coils covering nominal voltages from
24 to 500 V 50/60 Hz and 20 to 500 V DC. This facilitates
planning and enables you to be more flexible which, in turn,
reduces costs and simultaneously increases availability.
Reduced weight reduced fuel expenditure
Our new family of motor control and protection devices has
been developed right from the drawing-board stage to be up
to a third lighter than comparable devices on the market,
making the storage and transport of our products more simple
and more economical. This substantial reduction in weight is
another key component in our drive to reduce environmental
impact by helping to decrease fuel expenditure and increase
sustainability.

Safety through reliability
Maximum dependability under the toughest conditions
Our new family of motor control and protection devices has
been created with the twin pillars of application-reliability and
user-safety at the very forefront of the design.
Typical local problems such as poor network quality wont
affect our contactors at all. They are not only completely
chatter-proof and hum-free, but voltage drops and sags/dips
are now a thing of the past. Moreover, the contactors are
compatible with most PLC outputs and offer built-in coil surge
suppression.
Safer installation safer operation
Our engineers have integrated a host of new features to make
your job easier, safer and more straightforward than ever before.
For example, our new AC/DC contactors combine both control
supply modes in a single unit, eliminating the risk of errors. A
vastly reduced total number of modules improves clarity when
selecting, ordering and installing your equipment. Our innovative
touch-safe features protect you against accidental contact
during operation by means of protective covers.
Ultimate reliability in harsh environments
ABBs new line of industrial motor control and protection
devices has been developed for deployment in the toughest
of industrial scenarios where absolute reliability is a require-
ment, not an option. For example, you can use ABBs new
contactors under even the harshest of ambient conditions
ranging from -40 C up to +70 C, testimony to just how ready
for the challenge this feature-rich industrial product line is.
Lower resistance lower energy consumption
When we challenged ABBs design engineers to produce a
concept to gear the innovative new range of devices towards
lower power utilisation, they certainly didnt disappoint. The
resulting revolutionary design is a circuit that achieves less
resistance per phase, a reduction in thermal load and lower
energy consumption a combination that not only helps to
protect the environment, but also reduces your energy costs.
