ABB MS165-10 Manual Motor Starter 10A
The ABB MS165-10 is a manual motor starter (motor protection circuit breaker) (Manual Motor Starter 10A) engineered by ABB, the global leader in electrification and automation technology and the most trusted electrical brand across Saudi Arabia's industrial sector. 3-pole MS165 manual motor starter rated for currents up to 65 A with adjustable thermal overload set to 10 A and a fixed magnetic short-circuit release, to IEC 60947-4-1. Supplied as a genuine, fully type-tested ABB product by Razz Middle East, the MS165-10 is held in local stock for fast delivery to industrial, commercial and infrastructure projects throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from the Eastern Province energy corridor to the NEOM and Red Sea giga-projects.
Technical Overview
At the core of the MS165-10 is ABB's proven manual motor starter (motor protection circuit breaker) platform, refined over decades of deployment in the world's most demanding industries. 3-pole MS165 manual motor starter rated for currents up to 65 A with adjustable thermal overload set to 10 A and a fixed magnetic short-circuit release, to IEC 60947-4-1. The design emphasizes long electrical and mechanical endurance, consistent calibration and full coordination with the wider ABB low-voltage range, so a single product family can be standardized across an entire facility. Headline parameters are: Thermal overload setting range: up to 10 A; Poles: 3; Trip class: 10; Short-circuit capacity (Icu) 400V: up to 50 kA; Standard: IEC 60947-4-1. Compared with generic alternatives, the MS165-10 offers tighter manufacturing tolerances, tropicalized internals for high-humidity and salt-laden coastal air, and a documented type-test pedigree to international standards — the difference between a component that merely fits the schematic and one that survives years of continuous duty in a Saudi plant.
Performance & Specifications
Key performance figures for the MS165-10 are drawn directly from the ABB datasheet: Thermal overload setting range: up to 10 A; Poles: 3; Trip class: 10; Short-circuit capacity (Icu) 400V: up to 50 kA; Standard: IEC 60947-4-1. These ratings are validated by type testing and hold across the wide -25 to +60 °C ambient range, high humidity and dust loading typical of Saudi Arabian industrial sites. The product carries the relevant international certifications (CE, cULus, CCC), ensuring acceptance under SASO import requirements and Saudi Aramco engineering standards (SAES). Full datasheets, type-test certificates and dimensional drawings are available from Razz Middle East on request to support engineering, approval and procurement.
Applications in Saudi Arabia
Across the Kingdom the ABB MS165-10 is specified in the most critical national assets. Pump and fan motor protection in ARAMCO and SWCC water-injection and desalination plants, where the MS165-10 provides combined overload and short-circuit protection on the 380 V supply that is prone to voltage fluctuation during peak summer demand in the Eastern Province. Compressor and conveyor motor circuits in SABIC and Sadara petrochemical complexes, where Class 10 tripping protects the motor against jamming and locked-rotor without nuisance trips during heavy starts. Combination starter assemblies in motor control centers across Jubail and Yanbu industrial cities, paired with ABB AF contactors for fully type-tested Type 2 coordinated motor feeders. HVAC and chilled-water plant motors in Riyadh and Jeddah commercial buildings, providing local manual isolation and protection for fan-coil and pump motors. From Saudi Aramco oil and gas installations and SABIC petrochemical complexes to MAADEN mining operations, SWCC desalination plants, SEC power generation and the NEOM giga-project, ABB electrical equipment forms the backbone of power distribution, motor control and process automation, where uptime, safety and energy efficiency are paramount.

Key Features & Benefits
- The MS165-10 integrates a temperature-compensated adjustable thermal overload release with a fixed instantaneous magnetic short-circuit release in a single 45 mm device, giving complete motor protection without a separate overload relay and saving panel space in Saudi motor control centers.
- Its trip-free rotary handle with a Class 10 trip characteristic protects standard squirrel-cage motors against locked-rotor and overload conditions while tolerating normal starting inrush, preventing nuisance tripping on the long cable runs common at remote Aramco well sites.
- The MPCB forms a fully type-tested combination starter when paired with ABB AF contactors, delivering coordinated Type 2 short-circuit protection that keeps the contactor and motor undamaged after a fault, reducing downtime at SABIC process plants.
- Auxiliary and signalling contact blocks, undervoltage and shunt-trip releases clip directly onto the side, allowing remote tripping, run/trip status to the DCS and emergency-stop integration without rewiring the main circuit.
- A sealable, padlockable handle supports lockout-tagout (LOTO) procedures mandated by Saudi Aramco and SABIC safety standards, enabling safe isolation for maintenance in hazardous-area motor circuits all supplied as genuine ABB product with full warranty and local stock from Razz Middle East in Dammam, Riyadh and Jeddah.
- Finger-safe IP20 terminals, tropicalized internals and a wide -25 to +60 °C operating range ensure reliable performance in the high ambient temperatures and dust of Eastern Province industrial sites backed by SASO documentation, Saudi Aramco material approvals and an in-Kingdom engineering team for sizing and after-sales support.
