Product details

The Siemens 3RV1042-4EA10 is a SIRIUS motor protection circuit breaker rated for 32 A continuous current with a Trip Class 10 characteristic, meaning it trips within 10 seconds at 7.2× I_set — lean enough to protect standard IEC induction motors during stall or locked-rotor conditions without nuisance tripping on normal starts.

Depth is 174 mm, which overhangs a standard 160 mm DIN-rail channel by 14 mm; check the enclosure depth before laying out the backplate. Solid conductors up to 2x 16 mm² fit the screw terminals; stranded accepts up to 1x 70 mm² or 2x 50 mm². That covers most motor feeder cables up to about 35 kW at 400 V.

Substance prohibitance date of 07/01/2006 aligns with the original RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC; the part carries RoHS compliance from that baseline.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3RV1042-4EA10's depth and does it fit standard DIN-rail enclosures?

Depth is 174 mm, which is 14 mm deeper than the standard 160 mm DIN-rail channel; verify enclosure depth before panel layout.

What wire sizes does 3RV1042-4EA10 accept?

Solid conductors: 2x (2.5 to 16 mm²). Stranded: 2x (10 to 50 mm²) or 1x (10 to 70 mm²). AWG equivalents: 2x (10 to 1 AWG) solid, 1x (10 to 2 AWG) stranded.

Where can I buy 3RV1042-4EA10 and how is it quoted?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.
