Product details

It carries a Trip Class 10 characteristic, so it trips within 10 seconds at 7.2× rated current — standard for protecting standard 4-pole motors during start-up. Rated breaking capacity hits 25 kA at 400 V AC, enough to clear a bolted fault on most industrial distribution boards without cascading upstream breakers.

Side clearance is 30 mm. Main circuit terminals are spring-loaded, accepting 2 × (0.5 … 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire. No screw torque to worry about — strip to the correct length, push in. Auxiliary contacts share the same terminal type where fitted.

Short-circuit breaking capacity at 400 V is 25 kA. At 240 V it reaches 100 kA, at 500 V it drops to 5 kA, and at 690 V it is 2 kA. For a 480 V system the continuous current rating is 20 A; at 600 V it is also 20 A. The gL/gG fuse backup ratings at 400 V are 63 A, at 500 V and 690 V are 50 A — relevant when coordinating with upstream fuses for Type 2 coordination.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RV2021-4BA25-ZW96 and get a price?

This part is sourced through independent distribution and is quoted to order against an RFQ. Submit a request for quote; availability and current pricing are confirmed at that time.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3RV2021-4BA25-ZW96?

The 3RV2021-4CA25 is a close functional peer in the same SIRIUS frame size and Trip Class 10. The key difference is the terminal type: the -4BA25 uses spring-loaded terminals, while the -4CA25 uses screw terminals. Panel footprint and breaking capacity are identical, so it drops into the same DIN-rail slot without rewiring the bus bars — only the wire terminations change.

What is the depth of 3RV2021-4BA25-ZW96?

The listed depth is 97 mm.

What is the width of 3RV2021-4BA25-ZW96?

The listed width is 45 mm.

Will 3RV2021-4BA25-ZW96 drop into a panel specified around 3RV2021-4CA25 without rewiring?

Yes — the physical footprint (45 mm width, 97 mm depth, 35 mm DIN rail) and breaking capacity (25 kA at 400 V) are shared between the two order codes. The only difference is the terminal type: spring-loaded on the -4BA25 versus screw on the -4CA25. Bus bars and DIN-rail mounting are identical.
