Product details

It carries a 100 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC (and at 240 V, 500 V, and 690 V AC as well), so it can interrupt severe faults without upstream fuses needing to clear first. Mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail (DIN EN 60715) with a screw-and-snap-on mechanism — no tools needed for the snap, but the screw terminal connections for the main circuit take an M4 screw and accept 2×(1...2.5 mm²) or 2×(2.5...10 mm²) solid or stranded wire. The S0 frame size keeps the footprint tight at 97 mm deep, 45 mm wide, 97 mm tall, with 50 mm clearance needed above and below for arc venting, and 30 mm at the sides.

The 100 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC (and at 240 V, 500 V, and 690 V AC) means this breaker can safely interrupt a fault current up to 100,000 amps without the arc escaping or the device rupturing — that's high enough for most industrial transformer secondary circuits fed from a large distribution transformer. The gL/gG fuse backup rating at 690 V is 4 A, which tells you the maximum fuse size that can be used upstream for coordination.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3RV2421-0FA10?

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

What is the closest functional second-source for the 3RV2421-0FA10?

The 3RV2011-0AA10 is a smaller-frame SIRIUS circuit breaker but it is a general-purpose motor-protective breaker, not a transformer-protection design. It will not drop into the same panel without rewiring because the terminal arrangements and frame size differ. For a direct transformer-protection replacement, stay within the 3RV24 family.

Will the 3RV2421-0FA10 drop into a panel specified around the 3RV2011-0AA10?

No — the 3RV2421-0FA10 uses a Size S0 frame (45 mm wide) while the 3RV2011-0AA10 uses a smaller frame. The mounting hole pattern and terminal layout differ, so rewiring and possibly re-drilling the mounting plate would be required.
