Motor starter protector for system protection
The Siemens 3RV2021-1CA10-0DA0 is a SIRIUS 3RV2 motor starter protector in size S0, configured for system protection without phase failure protection. The A-release (overload protection) is set for 1.8...2.5 A, and the short-circuit release trips at 33 A. Termination is via screw terminals, and the unit carries standard switching capacity.
The 1.8...2.5 A overload range (A-release) is the continuous current the protector will carry without tripping; set it to match the motor's full-load amperage. The 33 A short-circuit release is the instantaneous magnetic trip threshold — it clears a fault before the overload element responds, protecting downstream wiring and the contactor. Size S0 means the physical footprint fits the standard SIRIUS mounting rail and bus system, common in Siemens motor control centers.
