Product details

Rated 32 A at 480 V and 32 A at 600 V, with a breaking capacity of 25 kA at 400 V AC. At 240 V AC the interrupting rating reaches 100 kA, giving plenty of headroom for high-fault panels downstream of a large transformer. Built-in phase failure detection means the breaker trips on loss of one phase — a common failure mode that single-element overload relays can miss, and one that causes single-phasing damage on delta-connected motors.

Frequently asked questions

Will 3RV2021-4EA40 drop into a panel specified around 3RV2021-4NA25?

Both are SIRIUS 3RV2 frame breakers with the same 45 mm width and DIN-rail mounting, so the footprint and rail position are identical. The difference is in the trip setting range and breaking capacity — verify your motor FLA and available fault current before substituting.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RV2021-4EA40?

Standard Siemens SIRIUS documentation package includes CE declaration of conformity, UL/CSA recognition, and RoHS/REACH compliance declarations. Specific document numbers are available on request.
