The Siemens 3RV1011-1CA20-ZW97 is a SIRIUS motor protection circuit breaker rated for 2.5 A continuous current, with a CLASS 10 trip characteristic, sized for a 0.75 kW motor at 400 V three-phase. The IP20 front means it's finger-safe for panel builders working live.
Trip class and motor protection
It includes phase failure detection, so if you lose a phase on a lightly loaded motor, the breaker trips rather than letting the motor single-phase and burn. Rated operating frequency is 15 operations per hour maximum at AC-3 duty, which covers most conveyor and pump starts but not frequent jogging or reversing cycles.
Backwards clearance is 0 mm, so it can sit flush against the back panel. Spring-loaded terminals accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or 2x (0.25 to 1.5 mm²) finely stranded with ferrules. AWG equivalent is 2x (24 to 14). No screw torque to worry about — strip and push.
Shock rated at 25g for 11 ms.
