Circuit Breaker Up To 100A

SIRIUS Circuit-Breakers up to 100 A
General data
Overview In order to prevent premature tripping due to the integrated

phase failure sensitivity, circuit-breakers should always be con-
nected to ensure current flows through all three main conducting
paths.
Short-circuit protection
If a short-circuit occurs, the short-circuit releases of 3RV1 circuit-
breakers isolate the faulty load feeder from the mains supply and
thus prevent further damage.
4 Circuit-breakers with a short-circuit breaking capacity of 50 kA
or 100 kA are virtually short-circuit proof at a voltage of
AC 400 V, since higher short-circuit currents are not to be ex-
pected in practice.
Motor protection
The tripping characteristics of 3RV10/3RV11 circuit-breakers are
designed mainly to protect three-phase induction motors.
The circuit-breakers are therefore also referred to as motor
circuit-breakers.
The rated current In of the motor to be protected is set on the set-

3RV1 circuit-breakers are suitable for use in IT systems (IT net-
works). In this case, the different short-circuit breaking capacity
in the IT system must be taken into account.
Since operational currents, starting currents and current peaks
are different even for motors with identical power ratings due to
the inrush current, the motor ratings in the selection tables are
only guide values. The specific rated and start-up data of the
motor to be protected is always paramount to the choice of the
most suitable circuit-breaker. This also applies to circuit-break-
ers for transformer protection.

General data
Short-circuit protection for starter combinations
The 3RV13 circuit-breakers for starter combinations in sizes S0,
S2 and S3 provide short-circuit protection with the help of a con-
tactor and overload relay combination.
Like the circuit-breakers for motor protection, they are equipped
with short-circuit releases which are permanently set to a value
equivalent to 13 times the rated current of the circuit-breakers.
They are not equipped with overload releases.
On overload, the overload relay triggers the contactor, the 4
circuit-breaker remains closed.
Only when a short-circuit occurs in the feeder does the circuit-
breaker trip as well.
The circuit-breaker for starter combinations must always be
used in combination with an overload relay because the circuit-
breaker alone cannot protect the motor and itself against over-
load.
Transformer protection Circuit-breaker for fuse monitoring
