Product details

The 100 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, 400 V, 500 V, and 690 V AC means this breaker handles high prospective fault currents common in industrial distribution — it's rated for installation at the motor branch, not just downstream of a current-limiting fuse. The Trip Class 10 means the thermal trip element will open within 10 seconds at 7.2× the thermal setting current, matching standard IEC 60947-4-1 requirements for motor starting duty. No ground fault detection, so that function must come from a separate device or upstream GFCI.

The screw and snap-on mechanism onto 35 mm DIN rail means it clips on without tools and can be screw-fastened for vibration resistance. Clearance requirements: 50 mm upward and downward, 30 mm to the side, 0 mm forward and backward (–,) — so it can be stacked tight front-to-back but needs breathing space above and below for thermal dissipation. Terminal capacity on the main contacts accepts 2× (1 to 2.5 mm²) or 2× (2.5 to 10 mm²) solid or stranded, with M4 screw terminals.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3RV2021-1AA10-ZW96?

The 3RV2021-1AA10-ZW96 has a 100 kA breaking capacity at 240 V, 400 V, 500 V, and 690 V AC, covering the full range of common industrial supply voltages.

Will 3RV2021-1AA10-ZW96 drop into a panel designed for 3RV2011-0AA10?

The 3RV2021-1AA10-ZW96 shares the same 45 mm width and DIN rail mounting as the 3RV2011-0AA10, so it will physically fit the same rail position. However, verify the terminal arrangement and the thermal setting range — the 3RV2021 series has different overload characteristics and breaking capacity. No rewiring is guaranteed only if the existing wire sizes and terminal types match the M4 screw terminals accepting 2× (1 to 2.5 mm²) or 2× (2.5 to 10 mm²).

What compliance documentation is available for 3RV2021-1AA10-ZW96?

As a Siemens SIRIUS product, the 3RV2021-1AA10-ZW96 is designed to meet IEC 60947-4-1 for motor protection circuit breakers. Standard documentation includes a CE declaration of conformity and RoHS/REACH compliance statements. UL/CSA listings are typical for this series but should be confirmed against the specific variant suffix (ZW96) at order time.

Where can I buy 3RV2021-1AA10-ZW96 and how is it quoted?

The 3RV2021-1AA10-ZW96 is sourced through independent industrial distribution channels. It is quoted to order against an RFQ — submit your target quantity and delivery window, and availability with current pricing will be confirmed at quote time.
