Design Of The ProductFor starter combinations

Product details

The S0 frame size — 45 mm wide, 119 mm tall, 97 mm deep — fits standard 45 mm slot spacing on a DIN rail, so it occupies one 45 mm module. Clearance: 50 mm above and below, 30 mm to the side, zero forward or backward. That means you can pack adjacent breakers tight side-to-side, but need vertical breathing room for cable entry and heat dissipation.

Breaking capacity — the number that matters

Rated breaking capacity is 100 kA at 240 V, 400 V, and 500 V AC; at 690 V it drops to 10 kA.

Thermal and environmental range

Termination and wiring

Main current circuit uses spring-loaded terminals — no screw torque to check, but you need a 3 mm diameter screwdriver shaft (3.0 x 0.5 mm tip) to release the spring. No ground-fault or phase-failure detection built in; this is a straight thermal-magnetic breaker for the motor branch.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RV2321-1BC20 and how do I get a price?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the depth of 3RV2321-1BC20?

97 mm depth, with 45 mm width and 119 mm height. The S0 frame occupies one 45 mm DIN-rail slot.

Will 3RV2321-1BC20 drop into a panel specified around 3RV2011-0BA20 without rewiring?

Both are S0 frame circuit breakers on 35 mm DIN rail, so the physical footprint and mounting are the same. However, the 3RV2321-1BC20 is designed for starter combinations and carries a different breaking capacity and accessory set — verify the terminal layout and coil voltage match your existing wiring before swapping.
