Design Of The ProductFor transformer protection

Product details

Rated operating voltage spans 20 to 690 V. That tells you where the arc extinction is comfortable and where you need upstream current-limiting fuses.

Any mounting position is allowed. Minimum clearances to adjacent metal parts: 50 mm upwards and downwards, 30 mm at the sides, zero forwards and backwards. That zero-clearance rear face means it can sit flush against a backplate — useful when packing a panel tight.

Ratings & Coordination

For transformer primary protection, the fuse coordination values are given: at 400 V, a gL/gG fuse up to 63 A; at 500 V and 690 V, up to 50 A. Motor horsepower equivalents are listed for reference: 15 hp at 460/480 V, 7.5 hp at 220/230 V, 5 hp at 200/208 V, 3 hp at 230 V, 2 hp at 110/120 V. Maximum switching frequency in AC-3 duty is 15 operations per hour.

Terminals & Wiring

Main current circuit connections use spring-loaded terminals. Accepts solid or stranded copper: 2 x 1 to 10 mm² per terminal. Strip length and torque values follow the standard SIRIUS spring-clamp spec — no special tooling needed beyond a screwdriver.

Environmental

That's a standard industrial envelope — no special climate control required for warehousing.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RV2421-4DA20 and how do I get a price?

The part is sourced 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 3RV2421-4DA20's listed depth (97 mm) on this component line?

The listed depth is 97 mm. Width is 45 mm, height is 119 mm.

Will 3RV2421-4DA20 drop into a panel that was specified around 3RV2023-4DA10 without rewiring?

The 3RV2421-4DA20 is a SIRIUS circuit breaker for transformer protection, while the 3RV2023-4DA10 is a different variant in the same family. Both share the same 45 mm width and DIN-rail mounting, so the footprint is the same. However, the trip characteristics and breaking capacities differ — verify the coordination study before swapping.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3RV2421-4DA20 (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC)?

As a Siemens SIRIUS product, standard compliance documentation includes CE marking, UL/CSA recognition, and RoHS/REACH declarations. Specific certificates are available from Siemens on request.
