Design Of The ProductFor transformer protection

Product details

The Siemens 3RV2431-4VA10 is a SIRIUS-brand circuit breaker designed specifically for transformer protection — not a general-purpose motor protective breaker. That distinction matters when you're coordinating upstream and downstream devices on a transformer secondary. Trip Class 10 trips within 10 seconds at the thermal setting.

At 55 mm wide and 149 mm deep, it fits a standard enclosure row. Screw terminals on the main circuit accept 2× (1–35 mm²) or 1× (1–50 mm²) solid or stranded copper. The M6 terminal studs are sized for the transformer-side cable, not just the load side — common oversight when landing a 50 mm² primary feed. That 10 mm side gap is tighter than many general-purpose breakers, so check adjacent device spacing before laying out the DIN rail.

Frequently asked questions

Will 3RV2431-4VA10 drop into a panel that was specified around 3RV2023-4DA10 without rewiring?

Both are 55 mm wide SIRIUS breakers on the same DIN-rail footprint, so the mechanical fit is identical. The 3RV2431-4VA10 is designed for transformer protection while the 3RV2023-4DA10 is a motor-protective breaker — verify the trip curve and phase-loss logic match your load before swapping.
