The Siemens 3RV2041-4MA10-0DA0 is a SIRIUS circuit breaker for system protection — meaning it's sized to protect a feeder or a large motor branch, not just a single load. Trip class 10 means it opens fast enough to protect a standard induction motor during a locked-rotor event — that's the default for most pump, fan, and conveyor drives.
S3 frame carries screw terminals that accept 2x 2.5–16 mm² solid or 1x 10–70 mm² stranded. That's a wide wire range for a 100 A breaker; you can land a single 70 mm² feed without adapters. Keep 150 mm clearance above and below, 30 mm to the sides for arc-chamber venting and heat dissipation.
