The Siemens 3RV1021-4AA10 is a SIRIUS motor protection circuit breaker rated for 16 A continuous current with a Class 10 trip characteristic, making it a direct fit for protecting standard 7.5 kW motors at 400 V AC. It includes phase failure detection as standard, which is critical for preventing single-phasing damage on three-phase motor loads in conveyor, pump, and fan applications.
Breaking capacity and fault clearance
The 3RV1021-4AA10 delivers 100 kA breaking capacity at 240 V AC, 50 kA at 400 V AC, 10 kA at 500 V AC, and 4 kA at 690 V AC.
Any mounting position is permitted.
Screw-type terminals on both main and auxiliary circuits accept solid or stranded conductors: 2x (1... 2.5 mm²) and 2x (2.5... 6 mm²), or AWG 14–10. The dual-terminal design per pole allows daisy-chaining power through without extra junction blocks — saves a terminal row in the gland plate layout.
