KRIPAL manufactures manual motor starters providing combined thermal overload and magnetic short-circuit protection in a single compact DIN rail mounted device, eliminating the need for separate contactor and overload relay combinations. The UKS-M series covers 0.1A to 80A with adjustable thermal trip settings matched to motor full-load current and fixed magnetic trip for instantaneous short-circuit interruption. Rated for up to 690V AC insulation with 50kA breaking capacity, suitable for standalone machine tool motors, small pump panels and OEM equipment control circuits.

UKS-M32 provides reliable overload protection, short-circuit protection, and manual start-stop control.
Ask a QuoteA manual motor starter functions as a consolidated electromechanical device integrating a disconnect switch, thermal overload relay, and instantaneous magnetic short circuit protection. The KRIPAL UKS-M series provides direct, operator-controlled power switching and comprehensive fault protection for standalone industrial machinery.
The UKS-M32 and UKS-M80 frame sizes accommodate a broad spectrum of small to medium asynchronous motors, covering precise low-current applications up to high-capacity drives.
Integrates precise bimetallic thermal overload sensing with instantaneous magnetic short circuit tripping mechanisms, delivering dual-layer protection in a compact footprint.
Features a tunable current setting dial designed to align directly with the specific motor nameplate Full Load Amperage (FLA), ensuring highly accurate thermal response curves.
Engineered and tested to sustain high operational voltages, making the switchgear fully suitable for integration across complex industrial motor distribution circuits.
Facilitates direct manual On/Off motor switching. This manual control logic eliminates the strict requirement for separate external contactors and secondary control wiring in localized setups.
KRIPAL UKS-M manual motor starters deliver standalone motor protection and local control without requiring a separate contactor and overload relay, serving machine tool builders, pump panel fabricators, and equipment OEMs who value compact self-contained motor branch circuit solutions.
UKS-M starters protect spindle and feed motors in machine tools where operators need local ON/OFF control at the machine. Combined thermal and magnetic trip elements handle both slow overload build-up and instantaneous short-circuit faults in a single DIN-rail device.
Compact UKS-M units serve as the primary motor protection device in small pump control panels for HVAC chilled water circulation, boiler feed pumps, and cooling tower fan motors where panel real estate is limited and a full contactor-overload pair is unnecessary complexity.
Equipment manufacturers integrate UKS-M starters into table saws, planers, carton erectors, and stretch wrappers. Adjustable thermal trip dial allows commissioning engineers to fine-tune motor protection to the exact nameplate full-load current on site rather than stocking multiple fixed-range devices.
KRIPAL produces manual motor starters alongside contactors and overload relays in a shared manufacturing facility, giving equipment OEMs a single supply chain for the full motor protection hierarchy | from simple manual starters for standalone machine tools to complete contactor-overload combinations for complex automated machinery.
The bimetal strips that determine thermal trip characteristics are calibrated in-house using the same temperature-compensated test stations used for UKH overload relays. This ensures UKS-M starters trip at the same thermal curve as UKH relays of equivalent range, simplifying your protection coordination design.
The short-circuit magnetic trip element on every production batch is verified at 10-14x the rated current to confirm instantaneous operation. Test data is archived per batch, supporting your equipment’s short-circuit protection compliance documentation.
Source manual motor starters from 0.1A to 80A alongside your contactors and overload relays on one purchase order. One quality audit covers your entire motor protection supply chain, reducing supplier qualification costs for new equipment platforms.
For equipment manufacturers building to order, KRIPAL holds agreed inventory of your standard UKS-M current ratings and ships against your machine build schedule, so motor starters arrive as each machine enters electrical assembly.
UKS-M starters accept snap-on auxiliary contact modules and undervoltage release coils manufactured by KRIPAL. Single-source accessories eliminate the compatibility guesswork of mixing brands in your equipment panel.
Documentation packages include trip characteristic curves, short-circuit breaking capacity test reports, and IEC 60947-4-1 compliance certificates | formatted for inclusion in your equipment technical file for CE marking.
Your part number and current range laser-etched on the starter face, visible to the commissioning engineer adjusting the trip dial. KRIPAL’s factory identity stays off the component.
Equipment design engineers communicate directly with KRIPAL’s motor protection team for starter selection, trip coordination with upstream circuit breakers, and DIN rail mounting guidance | bypassing the delays of distributor-mediated technical inquiries.
