Motor protection circuit breaker for panel integration
The Siemens 3RV2021-1DA20 is a SIRIUS motor protection circuit breaker designed for Class 10 trip response, meaning it disconnects within 10 seconds at 7.2× the thermal setting — fast enough to protect standard induction motors during locked-rotor conditions without nuisance tripping on normal starts.
Short-circuit withstand and coordination
Rated short-circuit breaking capacity reaches 100 kA at 240 V AC and 400 V AC, and 100 kA at 500 V AC, dropping to 10 kA at 690 V AC — sufficient for most industrial distribution systems where fault levels are coordinated upstream. The 3RV2021-1DA20 carries hp ratings from 0.1 hp at 110/120 V up to 2 hp at 460/480 V and 575/600 V, covering fractional to small integral-horsepower motors on common North American and IEC voltage systems.
