Overview

The ABB KUBE Male (One Load) Copper Motor Pigtail Disconnect (SKU: MD10M-3) is a precision-engineered disconnect designed for industrial motor control applications. Constructed from high-conductivity copper, this disconnect ensures minimal power loss and optimal thermal performance in high-current motor circuits. The 1/0 AWG wire size supports continuous current ratings up to 150A (per UL standards), making it suitable for medium-duty motors and control panels. The Body Size 3 housing provides robust mechanical protection and compatibility with standard DIN rail mounting systems, while the pink die color code (per ABB’s KUBE series color system) enables quick visual identification in complex electrical installations. This disconnect features a pigtail design with a male tab terminal, allowing for secure, vibration-resistant connections to mating female terminals. Compliance with UL 508 and CSA C22.2 No. 14 standards ensures safe operation in industrial environments. Ideal for motor starters, HVAC systems, and conveyor applications, the MD10M-3 delivers reliable performance with a compact footprint. Installation requires no special tools—just a screwdriver for terminal tightening—and fits standard 35mm DIN rails. The copper construction resists corrosion and maintains conductivity over time, reducing maintenance costs in harsh operating conditions.

How to Install the MD10M-3 Controller

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and wiring the MD10M-3 Controller safely and effectively.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Ty-Rap cable ties

  1. Disconnect power

    Ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected before starting the installation to avoid any risk of electric shock.

  2. Mount the controller

    Secure the MD10M-3 Controller to the DIN rail using the integrated clips. Ensure the controller is level and firmly attached.

  3. Strip and connect wires

    Strip the ends of the wires to the appropriate length and attach them to the male and female motor disconnects as specified in the installation instructions.

  4. Crimp connectors

    Use the appropriate crimping tool to crimp the connectors securely onto the wires, ensuring a solid electrical connection.

  5. Insert male pin

    Push the male pin into the female barrel until fully inserted, creating a secure connection.

  6. Install boot/insulator

    Slide the boot or insulator onto the pigtail connectors until it stops, ensuring proper insulation.

  7. Secure the boot

    Fasten the first Ty-Rap cable tie at the middle of the boot/insulator and tighten it snugly. Fasten the second tie 1/4 inch from the end and cut any excess tie flush.

  8. Dress lead assemblies

    Carefully dress the lead assemblies into the junction box, ensuring that all connections are secure and properly insulated.
