The Siemens 3RV2711-0AD10 is a SIRIUS circuit breaker in the S00 frame, designed for system protection per UL 489 and CSA C22.2 No. 5. Rated breaking capacity hits 100 kA at 240 V, 400 V, 500 V, and 690 V AC — that is the same 100 kA figure across the board, so it handles high-fault utility feeds without needing an upstream current-limiting fuse for most installations.
No official successor has been assigned, and no PCN has been issued. The part is still the standard catalog offering in the SIRIUS range for this frame size and breaking capacity.
Panel integration — dimensions and wiring
Dimensions are 97 mm deep, 45 mm wide, 144 mm tall. Clearance requirements: 70 mm upward and downward, 30 mm at the sides, zero forward or backward — that matters when you are packing multiple breakers into a gland-plate-limited panel. Screw-type terminals with M4 screws; use a Pozidriv size 2 tip or a 5-6 mm diameter screwdriver shaft. Strip length and torque are standard for this class — no special tooling needed.
Rated operational voltage spans 20 to 690 V, covering most low-voltage industrial systems. At 230 V the motor power rating is 0 kW — this breaker is not sized for motor starting at that voltage; its strength is system protection at higher fault currents. Mechanical endurance is 100,000 operating cycles typical for the main contacts. The maximum switching rate under AC-3 or AC-3e duty is 15 operations per hour — adequate for infrequent motor starts, not for rapid cycling applications like indexing conveyors. Power dissipation at AC in hot operating state is 5.5 W — negligible for thermal panel calculations but worth noting if you are packing many units in a sealed enclosure. No ground fault or phase failure detection built in — this is a straight thermal-magnetic or electronic overcurrent protector, not a multifunction motor protection relay. For phase-loss-sensitive loads, you would add an external phase monitoring relay upstream.
