The Siemens SIRIUS 3RV1042-4MA10 is a motor protection circuit breaker rated for 100 A continuous current and 45 kW at 400 V. Trip Class 10 ensures the breaker trips within 10 seconds at 7.2× rated current, matching standard motor start profiles for pumps, fans, and compressors. Screw-type box terminals for the main circuit accept solid 2x (2.5 … 16 mm²) or stranded 2x (10 … 50 mm²), covering most motor feeder sizes up to 70 mm² single. Mounts via screw and snap-on onto 35 mm DIN rail per EN 50022, with 0 mm clearance needed at the sides or rear — tight panel layouts are fine.
Integration notes
The 3RV1042-4MA10 occupies 70 mm width on the DIN rail, with 174 mm depth and 165 mm height. Any mounting position — horizontal or vertical — works, but derate the 44 W power dissipation if enclosed without airflow. The auxiliary switch slot accepts standard SIRIUS blocks for remote status.
