Product details

Phase-failure detection is built in. No ground-fault detection on this variant.

Width is 45 mm, height 97 mm, depth 96 mm. Clearance: zero mm backwards, zero mm at the sides — meaning you can butt them tight against the backplane and against adjacent devices without derating. That's unusual for a breaker with 100 kA interrupting capacity; most need side gaps for arc-chamber venting. This one vents forward through the IP20 finger-safe front.

Interrupting capacity and coordination

At 690 V it drops to 6 kA — that's still adequate for most 690 V distribution, but if your transformer secondary is at 690 V and the available fault current exceeds 6 kA, you need an upstream current-limiting device. The surge voltage withstand is 6 kV, which covers typical IEC 60947-2 impulse coordination for 400 V systems. Rated operational voltage for AC-3 switching duty is 690 V maximum. Operating frequency at AC-3 is 15 operations per hour max — that's a protection device, not a contactor; it's meant to stay closed except during fault or maintenance isolation.

Main circuit and auxiliary/control terminals are screw-type. Solid wire: 2x 1 to 2.5 mm² or 2x 2.5 to 6 mm². Stranded: same ranges. Finely stranded with ferrule: same again. AWG equivalent: 2x 14 to 10 AWG.

RoHS compliance date is 01.05.2012, meaning it meets the EU RoHS directive since that date. Shock resistance rated at 25g for 11 ms — that's marine and rail-grade, not just panel-stationary.

Frequently asked questions

Will 3RV1421-1FA10 drop into a panel specified for 3RV2021-1FA15?

Both mount on 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 50022 with the same 45 mm width, so the footprint is identical. Terminal capacity and wiring ranges are the same. The 3RV1421-1FA10 has a slightly different trip curve tuned for transformer protection; verify the coordination study before substituting.
