The ABB CM‑MSE is a thermistor‑based motor protection monitoring relay used to monitor the temperature of electric motors equipped with PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) temperature sensors. It evaluates the temperature rise directly from the motor windings through the sensors and provides a switching output that can be used to protect the motor from overheating conditions. The relay is designed for DIN‑rail mounting and features screw‑terminal connections, making it suitable for integration into control panels and industrial automation assemblies.
