The Siemens 3RV1011-1KA10 is a SIRIUS motor protection circuit breaker designed for Class 10 trip response, meaning it will disconnect within 10 seconds at 7.2× the thermal setting — a standard match for standard AC induction motors starting across the line. It carries a 100 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, which drops to 13 kA at 400 V and 2 kA at 690 V, so the available fault current at the panel must be checked against the voltage-specific rating. The unit includes phase failure detection, so a lost phase on a three-phase motor will trip the breaker rather than letting the motor single-phase and overheat. The screw-type terminals on the main circuit accept 2×(0.5…1.5 mm²) or 2×(0.75…2.5 mm²) solid or stranded.

Frequently asked questions
What is the breaking capacity of 3RV1011-1KA10 at 400 V?
At 400 V the breaking capacity is 13 kA. At 240 V it is 100 kA, at 500 V it is 3 kA, and at 690 V it is 2 kA.
Will 3RV1011-1KA10 drop into a panel specified for 3RV1011-1HA10?
Yes, both share the same 45 mm width, screw terminals, DIN rail mount, and Class 10 trip class. The internal thermal setting range differs, so confirm the setting matches your motor FLA before installing.
Where can I buy 3RV1011-1KA10?
This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
