The Siemens 3RV2411-1BA10 is a SIRIUS circuit breaker specifically designed for transformer protection — not a general-purpose motor-protective breaker. That distinction matters: the trip curve and thermal memory are tuned for inrush currents typical of transformers, so it won't nuisance-trip on magnetizing inrush while still clearing a sustained overload or short circuit. Rated breaking capacity hits 100 kA at 400 V AC and 500 V AC, dropping to 10 kA at 690 V AC. That's enough SCCR for most industrial distribution panels without needing upstream current-limiting fuses — though if you do fuse it, the spec calls for gL/gG fuses rated 25 A at 400/500 V or 20 A at 690 V.
At 45 mm wide and 97 mm deep, it occupies one standard 45 mm module slot — no extra side clearance needed (0 mm forwards/backwards clearance). Leave 50 mm above and below for airflow and wiring access.
