Product details

That rating holds at 240 V and 500 V as well, dropping to 8 kA at 690 V — still adequate for most 690 V distribution, but worth noting if you're on a high-fault 690 V bus. No ground fault detection, so that's a separate device if needed.

The 45 mm width takes one 45 mm slot in a row; 97 mm height and 96 mm depth fit a standard 200 mm deep enclosure. Any mounting position works, which helps in tight retrofit spaces. Main circuit terminals are screw-type, accepting 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²) solid or 2x (24... 14) AWG. That's fine for the 2.5 A rating — no need to oversize the lug. Auxiliary switch terminals are transverse, and the breaker ships with an auxiliary switch — one less part to order separately.

Environment and lifecycle

Shock rated at 25g / 11 ms, so it withstands shipping and moderate panel vibration.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3RV1421-1CA38-1KT0 at 400 V?

100 kA at 400 V AC, and the same at 240 V and 500 V. At 690 V it drops to 8 kA.

Will 3RV1421-1CA38-1KT0 drop into a panel wired for 3RV1011-0GA10?

The 3RV1421-1CA38-1KT0 uses the same 45 mm wide DIN-rail footprint and screw-type terminals, so it will physically fit in the same slot and accept similar wire sizes. However, the 3RV1011-0GA10 is a standard motor-protective breaker, while this is a transformer-protection variant with a different trip curve — verify the transformer inrush matches the CLASS 10 characteristic before swapping.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

As a Siemens SIRIUS product, it carries CE marking for the European market and UL/CSA listings per the standard 3RV series. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens on request.

Where can I buy 3RV1421-1CA38-1KT0?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent industrial distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.
