6.1.1.2 Minimum distance
The following table shows the minimum distance to other units of the same types and also to an electrically conduc-
tive wall (earthed).
Minimum distance to other
units of the same type [mm]
Minimum distance to elec-
trically conductive wall
(earthed) [mm]

6.2 Connection

The manual motor starter can be supplied either from the bottom or from the top (for non-UL applications).

6.2.1 Connection Types

The manual motor starter is available with the following types of connection:
−
Screw terminals
−
Push-in Spring terminals
Push-in Spring terminals allow conductors to be easily connected directly. The special contact spring allows easy insertion and
guarantees a good contact quality.

6.2.2 Connection cross sections

6.2.2.1 Connection cross sections for screw connection technology
The following tables show the permissible conductor cross-sections for the main connections and auxiliary conduc-
tor connections for sizes MS116, MS132, MO132, MS165 und MO165.
For MS116:
M3.5
MS116 ≤ 16 A
0.8 ... 1.2 Nm / 10 ... 12 Ib.in
M4
MS116 ≥ 16 A
2 Nm / 18 Ib.in
For MS132 and MO132:
MS132 ≤ 10 A
M3.5
MO132 ≤ 10 A
0.8 ... 1.2 Nm / 10 ... 12 Ib.in
MS132 ≥ 16 A
M4
MO132 ≥ 16 A
2 Nm / 18 Ib.in
For MS165 am MO165:
MS165 M6
MO165 4 Nm / 10 ... 12 Ib.in
