The Siemens 3RV6411-1DA10 is a SIRIUS circuit breaker specifically designed for transformer protection — meaning its thermal-magnetic trip curve is shaped to handle the inrush and overload profile of a transformer, not a motor. Rated at 3.2 A operational current (AC-3 at 400 V) and Trip Class 10, it clears short circuits fast while allowing the transformer's magnetizing inrush to pass.
Sizing and fit — what the ratings mean
Trip Class 10 means it will trip within 10 seconds at 7.2× rated current, which is standard for transformer primary protection where a slower trip (Class 20 or 30) would risk winding damage on a sustained overload. Screw-type terminals accept 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) solid/stranded or 2x 4 mm², torque 0.8 to 1.2 N·m.
This breaker is sized for transformer primary protection in control panels.
