Product details

At 400 V it's 30 kA, at 500 V it's 6 kA, and at 690 V it's 3 kA. If your panel sees a high available fault current at the lower voltage, this part covers it.

Trip Class and Duty Cycle

The maximum switching rate is 15 operations per hour in AC-3 duty (motor starting), so it's fine for normal process cycling but not for a rapid-reversing application.

Mounting and Envelope

Dimensions are 75 mm wide, 140 mm high, 149 mm deep. It mounts in any position, with clearance requirements: 50 mm above and below, 10 mm to the sides, and zero clearance forward and backward. That's a tight envelope for a 100 kA device — you can pack it into a compact panel as long as you respect the top and bottom ventilation gaps.

Main circuit terminals are screw-type, accepting 2× (1–25 mm²) or 1× (1–35 mm²) solid or stranded copper. The main contact terminal size is M6. That's a generous wire range — you can land a 35 mm² feed without a reducer, and still have room for a second conductor if you're looping through.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3RV2131-4BA10?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; availability and current price are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3RV2131-4BA10 at 400 V?

At 400 V the breaking capacity is 30 kA. At 240 V it's 100 kA, at 500 V it's 6 kA, and at 690 V it's 3 kA.

What Trip Class is 3RV2131-4BA10?

It's Trip Class 10, meaning the overload trip clears within 10 seconds at 7.2× the current setting — standard for standard induction motor starting.

Will 3RV2131-4BA10 mount on a standard DIN rail?

Yes, it mounts on 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715, with either screw or snap-on fastening.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3RV2131-4BA10?

As a Siemens SIRIUS product, it carries the standard manufacturer's declarations for the applicable directives and standards for motor protection circuit breakers in its class. Specific documentation (CE, UL, CSA) is available on request at quote time.
