Product details

What this SIRIUS breaker does

That's fast enough to protect the transformer winding from sustained overload, but slow enough to ride through the magnetizing inrush pulse on energization.

Rated breaking capacity hits 100 kA at 240 V AC and 400 V AC, and holds that same 100 kA at 500 V AC and 690 V AC. That is a flat SCCR curve across the common industrial voltages — you get full fault-clearing ability without derating the interrupting rating at higher line voltages.

Mounting position is any orientation, so it works in horizontal or vertical DIN-rail layouts. Clearance requirements: 50 mm above and below, 30 mm to the side, zero forward or backward. Main circuit terminals accept screw-type connections, with solid or stranded wire: 2× (1 to 2.5 mm²) or 2× (2.5 to 10 mm²). Main contact screws are M4.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the 3RV2421-0KA10 at 400 V?

The 3RV2421-0KA10 is rated for 100 kA breaking capacity at 400 V AC.

Will the 3RV2421-0KA10 drop into a panel wired for the 3RV2011-0AA10?

Both are 45 mm-wide SIRIUS breakers on the same 35 mm DIN-rail footprint, so the mechanical fit is the same. Verify the trip class and transformer protection curve match your load — the 3RV2421-0KA10 is Class 10 and designed for transformer protection, which differs from the standard motor-protection characteristic of the 3RV2011-0AA10.

Where can I buy the 3RV2421-0KA10 and how is it quoted?

The 3RV2421-0KA10 is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for availability and current pricing — quotes are confirmed at quote time.
