For installations requiring higher fault current withstand at the higher voltages, the back-up fuse ratings are specified: gL/gG 63 A at 400 V, 50 A at 500 V, and 50 A at 690 V. The AC-3e switching frequency is rated at a maximum of 15 operations per hour — adequate for motor starting duty on pumps, fans, and compressors, but not for high-cycle jogging applications. Mounting position is any orientation. Main contact terminals accept M4 screws; the control circuit terminals accept solid or stranded wire: 2× (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2× (0.75 to 2.5 mm²).","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RV2021-4CA15 SIRIUS Motor Protection Circuit Breake","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RV2021-4CA15 SIRIUS motor protection circuit breaker, 45 mm width, Trip Class 10, 100 kA at 240 V.
