Product details

At 480 V it carries 75 A continuous, so it handles motor FLA up to that figure in a 480 V system.

The 90 mm width and 176 mm depth mean it occupies three standard 18 mm module slots on the rail — a common footprint for this class of SIRIUS breaker. That side clearance is tighter than some competing breakers; if you're packing multiple units side-by-side, keep that 30 mm minimum for arc venting and terminal access. Screw-type terminals on the main circuit accept solid or stranded: 2x (2.5 to 16 mm²) for the smaller wire, and 2x (2.5 to 50 mm²) or 1x (10 to 70 mm²) for the larger. That covers most motor feeder cables up to about 70 mm² — common for 75 A circuits.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting rating of the 3RV2142-4KA10 at 400 V?

The 3RV2142-4KA10 has a 50 kA interrupting rating at 400 V, which determines the maximum fault current it can safely clear at that voltage.

What trip class is the 3RV2142-4KA10?

The trip class is CLASS 10, meaning it will trip within 10 seconds at 600% of the set current, suitable for standard motor starting.

Where can I buy the 3RV2142-4KA10 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
