The Siemens 3RV1021-1GA10 is a SIRIUS motor protection circuit breaker rated for 6.3 A continuous current, designed to protect three-phase motors up to 2.2 kW at 400 V.
Breaking capacity — what the ratings mean
This breaker delivers 100 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, 400 V, and 500 V AC — meaning it can safely interrupt a fault current up to 100,000 A at those voltages without welding contacts or cascading failure upstream. The 100 kA rating at 400 V covers most industrial panel bus conditions, so downstream coordination is straightforward.
Any mounting position is allowed, with 0 mm clearance required at the rear and sides.
Key protection features
Ground fault detection is not included, so a separate ground-fault relay is needed for that function. The auxiliary switch option is available for remote status indication. Finger-safe touch protection is standard on the front terminals.
Shock rated at 25 g for 11 ms. The RoHS compliance date is May 1, 2012, covering substance prohibitions under EU Directive 2011/65/EU.
