The MKS1TM-16 belongs to the MKS1 series of motor protection circuit breakers designed to protect three-phase motor windings from short circuits, overload, and single-phase loss. Its thermal current is field-adjustable from 10.0A to 16.0A to correspond to the motor's rated current.

With IP40 protection, a 690V AC insulation voltage, and a short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA, it meets the demands of industrial switchgear panels. Cable cross-sections from 0.75 to 4mm² are accepted, and the device operates across a -5 to +40°C temperature range.
