Reliable Thermistor-Based Motor Temperature Protection
The ABB CM-MSS.22P provides direct thermal monitoring of electric motors by supervising the resistance of PTC thermistor sensors installed within the motor windings. As the winding temperature approaches the sensor's rated response temperature, the thermistor resistance increases sharply. The relay detects this change and switches its output contacts to indicate an overheating condition.
Unlike protection methods based solely on motor current, thermistor-based temperature monitoring measures the motor's actual thermal condition. This helps detect overheating caused by mechanical overload, insufficient ventilation, high ambient temperature, frequent starting or other operating conditions that may not be fully represented by electrical current measurements alone.
The CM-MSS.22P features one PTC sensor measuring circuit and operates according to the closed-circuit principle. When a monitored motor reaches an excessive temperature, the relay can provide a signal to a suitable motor contactor, PLC or alarm system so that corrective action can be taken. The device is intended for use with compatible PTC thermistors rather than standard resistive temperature sensors such as Pt100 probes.
A key advantage of the CM-MSS.22P is its configurable reset functionality. Automatic reset allows the relay to return to its normal state after the fault condition clears. Manual reset requires deliberate operator intervention, while remote reset supports integration with an external control circuit. The appropriate reset mode should be selected according to the machinery's safety and operating requirements, particularly where unexpected motor restarting must be prevented.
The relay also incorporates overvoltage-protected supply and measuring inputs and is designed according to IEC 60947-8, the product standard for control units used with built-in thermal protection in rotating electrical machines. The supply and measuring circuits are not electrically isolated, so installation must follow the manufacturer's wiring and insulation requirements.
ABB's Easy Connect Technology provides screwless push-in terminals for fast, reliable and maintenance-free wiring. Combined with its compact DIN rail housing, two changeover contacts and accessible reset button, the CM-MSS.22P offers a practical solution for protecting industrial motors against damaging thermal conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB CM-MSS.22P used for?
The ABB CM-MSS.22P is a thermistor motor protection relay used to monitor motor winding temperature through built-in PTC thermistor sensors. It helps protect electric motors against overheating caused by overload, insufficient cooling and abnormal operating conditions.
What supply voltage does the ABB CM-MSS.22P require?
The CM-MSS.22P, ABB order code 1SVR740700R0200, requires a rated control supply voltage of 24 V AC/DC. This is the supply voltage for this specific model and order code.
What type of temperature sensors does the CM-MSS.22P use?
The relay is designed for PTC thermistor temperature sensors installed in motor windings. It monitors changes in sensor resistance to detect excessive motor temperature and is not intended as a general-purpose Pt100 or thermocouple temperature controller.
How many sensor circuits does the CM-MSS.22P have?
The CM-MSS.22P has one PTC thermistor measuring circuit. This circuit is used to monitor compatible motor temperature sensors and provide a switching response when an overheating condition is detected.
Does the CM-MSS.22P support automatic and manual reset?
Yes. The relay supports automatic, manual and remote reset after the fault condition has cleared. A front-mounted reset button provides local operation, while remote reset allows integration with an external control circuit.
How many output contacts does the ABB CM-MSS.22P have?
The relay provides two changeover (SPDT) output contacts rated at 250 V / 4 A. These contacts can be used for motor contactor control, PLC inputs and industrial alarm signalling, subject to the applicable contact ratings.
What is the closed-circuit operating principle?
The closed-circuit principle means the relay output is energised during normal, healthy operation and changes state when a detected fault causes the output to release. This arrangement supports fault signalling for motor temperature protection circuits.
What type of terminals does the CM-MSS.22P use?
The CM-MSS.22P uses ABB Easy Connect push-in terminals, which provide screwless spring-clamp electrical connections. This technology simplifies wiring and reduces the need for routine terminal tightening.
What is the difference between the CM-MSS.22P and CM-MSS.22S?
Both models provide 24 V AC/DC control supply, one PTC sensor circuit, two changeover contacts and configurable reset functions. The main difference is the connection technology: the CM-MSS.22P uses push-in terminals, while the CM-MSS.22S uses conventional screw terminals.
Can the CM-MSS.22P prevent a motor from restarting automatically?
The relay can be configured for manual reset, requiring a deliberate reset after an overheating fault clears. However, preventing unexpected motor restart also depends on the design of the complete motor control circuit, including its contactors, interlocks and safety functions.
Does the CM-MSS.22P replace a conventional motor protection circuit breaker?
No. The CM-MSS.22P provides temperature-based motor protection using PTC thermistors. It does not replace the need for appropriately selected short-circuit protection, overload protection or other protective devices required by the electrical installation.
Where is the ABB CM-MSS.22P typically installed?
The relay is designed for DIN rail mounting inside industrial motor control panels, automation cabinets and electrical enclosures. Its compact 22.5 mm housing width and push-in terminals make it suitable for space-efficient industrial installations.
