What the 100 kA rating means for your panel
The Siemens 3RV2711-0ED10 is a SIRIUS-brand circuit breaker in the size S00 frame, designed for system protection per UL 489 and CSA C22.2 No. 5. That level of SCCR (short-circuit current rating) is typical for industrial main feeders or large motor branch circuits where the available fault current from the transformer is high. The breaker mounts via screw fixing or snap-on onto a 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715, and accepts conductor sizes from 1 to 10 mm² (up to 2x 10 mm²) at the screw-type terminals.
Integration into a DIN-rail panel
Clearance requirements: 70 mm upward, 70 mm downward, 30 mm at the side, and zero forward/backward clearance needed. Mounting position is any orientation. The screwdriver shaft diameter for the main contact terminals is 5 to 6 mm, with a Pozidriv size 2 tip.
This part carries a current lifecycle stage — no end-of-life notification or phase-out has been issued. It remains an active catalog item in the SIRUS range. No official successor has been published, so the BOM line stays stable.
The rated insulation voltage spans 20 to 690 V. Power dissipation in hot operating state at AC is 5.5 W. Ground fault and phase failure detection are not built in — those functions require an external relay or a different variant.
