$59.07
The ABB PSR105-MS495 (Article No. 1SAM501903R1001) is a mechanical connection kit that couples ABB PSR60 through PSR105 soft starters to ABB MS495 or MS496 manual motor starters. It creates a compact, direct-coupled motor branch circuit, eliminating the need for separate panel wiring between the manual motor protector and the soft starter. The kit ships with all hardware required to mate the two devices side-by-side on a standard 35 mm DIN rail.
Key Features
- Direct mechanical coupling between PSR60-PSR105 soft starters and MS495 or MS496 manual motor starters
- Compact motor branch assembly with no inter-device wiring required between the manual motor protector and the soft starter
- Group motor / Type E assembly compatible when used per ABB application notes
- DIN rail mounting on standard 35 mm rail; no panel-mount adapters required
- Includes all hardware needed for mating the two devices
- Operating temperature: -25 °C to +60 °C
- Compact footprint: 74 mm wide x 95 mm tall x 79 mm deep
Compatibility
The PSR105-MS495 is specifically engineered for these device combinations:
| Soft Starter (PSR series) | Manual Motor Starter |
|---|---|
| PSR60-600-70 (60 A) | MS495 or MS496, 40-100 A range |
| PSR72-600-70 (72 A) | MS495 or MS496, 40-100 A range |
| PSR85-600-70 (85 A) | MS495 or MS496, 40-100 A range |
| PSR105-600-70 (105 A) | MS495 or MS496, 40-100 A range |
For smaller PSR units (PSR3 through PSR45), use the PSR16-MS116 or PSR30-MS132 connection kits instead.
Typical Applications
- Group motor installations using PSR series soft starters with upstream MS-series motor protection
- Compact OEM motor control panels where panel space is constrained
- Pump, fan, conveyor, and compressor branch circuits requiring both manual disconnect/protection and soft starting
- Type E self-protected motor combinations per UL 508 and IEC 60947-6-2
PSR-MS Connection Kit Family
The PSR105-MS495 is the largest of three ABB PSR-to-MS connection kits. Match the connection kit to your soft starter and manual motor starter pair:
- PSR16-MS116 - couples PSR3 through PSR16 with MS116 (up to 16 A)
- PSR30-MS132 - couples PSR25 through PSR45 with MS132 (up to 32 A)
- PSR105-MS495 (this product) - couples PSR60 through PSR105 with MS495 or MS496 (40-100 A)
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the PSR105-MS495 connection kit actually do?
It physically couples an ABB PSR60, PSR72, PSR85, or PSR105 soft starter directly to an ABB MS495 or MS496 manual motor starter. The kit eliminates the need for inter-device wiring between the manual motor protector and the soft starter, reducing panel space and the number of terminations in the motor branch circuit.
Will the PSR105-MS495 work with the MS496?
Yes. The PSR105-MS495 is compatible with both MS495 and MS496 manual motor starters across the 40 A to 100 A frame size range. Both MS series use the same physical interface for ABB's connection kit family.
Can I use this kit with a smaller PSR softstarter like PSR45?
No. The PSR105-MS495 is sized specifically for the PSR60 through PSR105 frame. For PSR25 through PSR45, use the PSR30-MS132 connection kit. For PSR3 through PSR16, use the PSR16-MS116 connection kit. Mixing frame sizes will not provide a proper mechanical fit.
Does this kit qualify a PSR + MS assembly as a Type E self-protected combination?
When used per ABB's published application notes for Type E motor combinations under UL 508 / IEC 60947-6-2, yes. The kit is the mechanical coupling only; full Type E compliance also depends on the specific ABB PSR + MS device pairing, branch circuit fusing, and overall installation following the ABB Group Motor Application Guide. Contact us with your application details for combination verification.
Does the connection kit include any wiring?
No. The PSR105-MS495 is a mechanical kit. The PSR and MS devices it couples have integrated busbar connections that mate through the kit, eliminating the need for separate wiring between them. Branch circuit wiring (line input to the MS, motor leads out of the PSR) is still required as part of normal installation.
Where do I order the ABB PSR105-MS495?
