Rated breaking capacity hits 100 kA at 400 V, 480 V, and 500 V — sufficient for high-fault panels where upstream breakers are sized for 65 kA or less. At 690 V it derates to 4 kA, which still covers most industrial motor branch circuits.
The SIRIUS 3RV2 family is the established motor protection platform; no formal replacement or phase-out notice is on record. If you are freezing a BOM for a multi-year run, this code is a safe anchor.
Backup fuse coordination
For installations requiring backup fuse protection, the 3RV2011-1EA20-ZW96 coordinates with gL/gG fuses rated 32 A at 400 V and 500 V, and 25 A at 690 V. This matters when the available fault current exceeds the breaker's own interrupting rating — the fuse clears before the breaker fails.
