At 240 V the rating jumps to 100 kA, so on lower-voltage systems it handles virtually any utility fault. For 500 V and 690 V systems the SCCR drops to 3 kA and 2 kA respectively, which means upstream fusing or a current-limiting breaker is needed on those voltage classes. The 400 V 10 kA figure is the one most European industrial panels will care about; it matches typical transformer sizes up to 1.6 MVA. ## DIN rail fit and terminal wiring The 45 mm width occupies two standard 22.5 mm module slots, leaving room for an auxiliary contact block alongside. Main circuit terminals accept 2× (0.5 … 1.5 mm²) or 2× (0.75 … 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded copper, with M4 screw terminals. That 70 mm vertical breathing zone is enough for most enclosure layouts; keep it free for arc-flash venting and cable bend radius.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RV2021-4PA15 SIRIUS Motor Protection CB, 10 kA at 4","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RV2021-4PA15 SIRIUS motor protection circuit breaker, CLASS 10, 10 kA SCCR at 400 V, 45 mm wide, screw & snap-on DIN rail.

Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — figures are confirmed at quote time, not on a static listing."},{"question":"What is the closest functional second-source to 3RV2021-4PA15?","answer":"The 3RV2021-4NA25 is a sibling in the same SIRIUS motor-protection family with the same 45 mm width, CLASS 10 trip, and 10 kA SCCR at 400 V. The main difference is the thermal setting range — the -4PA15 covers a different motor FLA band than the -4NA25. Check the adjustment range on your motor nameplate before substituting; the footprint and wiring are identical."},{"question":"Will 3RV2021-4PA15 drop into a panel specified around 3RV2021-4NA25 without rewiring?","answer":"Yes — both share the same 45 mm width, M4 screw terminals, and 35 mm DIN rail mounting pattern. The terminal capacity and clearance zones are identical. No rewiring or panel modification is needed; only the thermal trip range differs."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RV2021-4PA15?","answer":"As a SIRIUS circuit breaker, it carries IEC/EN 60947-2 and 60947-4-1 compliance for motor protection and circuit-breaking duty. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard from Siemens.
