Introduction
Siemens is one of the leading manufacturers of switchgear. The product
range extends from devices that switch a few mA to circuit breakers used in
power distribution.
Throughout the continuing development of these products we have always
striven to ensure that requirements in terms of fundamental performance
features, electrical and mechanical service life, dimensions, and ease of
installation and maintenance are met or exceeded.
We have been able to meet the demands resulting from increased environ-
mental awareness, particularly in the last ten years or so, by developing and
using environment-friendly and recyclable materials. As a result, we have
developed modern industrial switching devices, particularly in the field of
low-voltage switchgear, that meet all the relevant demands in terms of envi-
ronment-friendliness.
Building on decades of experience, we have created a completely new gen-
eration of circuit breakers, contactors, auxiliary contactors, overload relays,
contactor relays, time relays, and 3RW3 semiconductor motor control
devices (referred to below as soft starters) under the name SIRIUS for the
large and continuously growing number of motor drives in the range up to
45 kW.
These new SIRIUS devices fulfill all the demands placed on them in practice
and can be used as stand-alone devices or modular components of com-
plete load feeders, or integrated in low-voltage distribution cabinets or low-
voltage switching stations.

1.1 Specifications/regulations/approvals
Explosion protection
Motor protection devices that protect a motor from overload in a hazardous
area must meet certain requirements. These requirements are defined in
the following standards:
DIN VDE 0660, DIN VDE 0165, EN 60947-1:1991..+A11:1994, EN 60947-4-1,
EN 50014:1994, EN 50019:1978+A1 to A5
Compliance with these standards has up until now been established by
means of a test. Compliance could be documented in two ways:
1. By a test certificate from the manufacturer
2. By a test certificate from an independent test laboratory (e.g. PTB, DMT,
KEMA, etc.).
EU directive
Testing of explosion protection has been defined more precisely as a result
of the harmonization of the European Union. In addition to the above stan-
dards, tests will also carried out in acc. with the EU directive 94/9/EC or
ATEX 100a.
Two procedures are in operation during the transition period up until 2003:
Procedure 1
Test certificate from an independent test laboratory as usual (e.g. PTB, DMT,
KEMA, etc.).
Procedure 2
Special test certificate from certified test laboratories (in acc. with extended
European rules). The statutory basis for this is the Official Journal of the
European Union (no. 95/C2 15/02 of 19.08.1995).
Siemens SIRIUS switching devices are tested and certified twice:
Certificate 1
Test certificate from KEMA in the same way as before (valid until 2003) in
acc. with:
• DIN VDE 0660, DIN VDE 0165
• EN 60947-1:1991/A11
• EN 60947-4-1:1992, EN 50019:1978+A1 to A5
Certificate 2
Special test certificate from the DMT-BVS in acc. with:
• DIN VDE 0660, DIN VDE 0165
• EN 60947-1:1991..+A11:1994, EN 60947-4-1
• EN 50014:1994, EN 50019:1978 + A1 to A5
• EU directive 94/9/EC (ATEX 100a - EU directive)
SIRIUS System Manual

GWA 4NEB 430 0999-02b
DMT-BVS
The DMT-BVS is, like the PTB, a certified German testing organization in
compliance with the EU directive 76/117/EEC and EIExV. Like the PTB and
other testing institutes in Europe, the DMT-BVS tests and awards certifi-
cates in acc. with the explosion protection directive 94/9/EC and is accred-
ited accordingly.
Over 100 years ago, the DMT-BVS became the first testing station for explo-
sion protection in Germany, and it has been a testing station for electrical
equipment as well since 1912. DMT-BVS certificates are recognized through-
out the world. For support in export matters, the DMT-BVS works with the
chemical industry and is of course recognized by it.
KEMA
KEMA, which is a testing institute that enjoys worldwide recognition, is a
certified European institute with many years of experience of testing for
explosion protection.
For support in export matters, KEMA also works with testing stations
throughout the world.

1.2 Overview: Range of devices
SIRIUS system
The SIRIUS product range consists of 3RV circuit breakers, 3RT contactors,
3RH/3RT auxiliary contactors and contactor relays, 3RU thermal overload
relays, 3RB10/3RB12 electronic overload relays, 3RP time relays, 3RW3
semiconductor motor control devices (referred to below as soft starters),
and combinations of these devices, which form the 3RA load feeders.
The individual devices are developed and built in such a way that it is very
easy to put them together to make load feeders. This is possible because
the devices are all built to work together on both an electrical and a mechan-
ical level.

1.3 System features
The entire SIRIUS range of devices is divided up into only four frame sizes
(S00 up to 5.5 kW, S0 up to 11 kW, S2 up to 22 kW, and S3 up to 45 kW)
with three different widths (45 mm for S00 and S0, 55 mm for S2, and
70 mm for S3) and has a uniform range of accessories for all frame sizes.
Modular system
The individual components of the SIRIUS range are building blocks in a mod-
ular system that are harmonized in terms of both their frame size and their
technical specifications. This ensures that individual requirements can be
met quickly and cost-effectively.
Uniformity
The devices are harmonized with regard to their ratings and their technical
specifications:
• The same width ensures rapid installation.
• The terminal systems are standardized, and devices with the same rated
current have the same terminals.
Performance capability
All SIRIUS devices can be mounted side by side without derating in an ambi-
ent air temperature of up to 60 °C.
Accessories
All accessories, such as the auxiliary switches and surge suppressors, can
be mounted and removed without tools.
You can use link modules that connect devices both mechanically and elec-
trically to put together combinations of devices and build fuseless load feed-
ers.
Communication
Direct communication with a higher-level controller is possible using:
• The AS-Interface load feeder module
• The ET 200X distributed I/O devices on the PROFIBUS-DP bus system
• The ET 200S system

1.5.2 Screw-type terminals
The terminals used do not vary within a frame size. The current switched by
the different devices of a single frame size does not vary either. This means
you can use the same tool, torque, and conductor cross-section for the cir-
cuit breakers, contactors, and overload relays of a single frame size. The
stripped lengths are also the same. This is important in the case of prefabri-
cated wiring.
Screw-type terminals
All the devices have screw-type terminals, either a terminal with a top
washer or a box terminal, depending on the frame size.
Devices with frame sizes S00 and S0 have terminals with captive screws
and terminal washers that enable you to connect 2 conductors, even if they
have different cross-sections.
The box terminals of frame size S2 and S3 can also take 2 conductors with
different cross-sections.
Connection tools
Use the following tools to make the connection:
• Frame sizes S00 to S2: Screws are available for rated currents of up to
50 A for Pozidriv2 screwdrivers.
• Frame size S3: To obtain the required torques for the frame size for up to
100 A, the screws have a 4 mm hexagon socket.
The screwdriver guides allow screwdriving machines to be used.
Lugs and connecting
bars
You can remove the box terminals from the devices with a frame size of S3
to connect conductors with lugs or connecting bars. A terminal cover is
available as shock protection and to ensure that you comply with the
required creepages and clearances when the box terminals are removed.
You can find a detailed description in section n.4 on accessories.

1.5.3 Cage Clamp terminals
The Cage Clamp terminal system is now available for circuit breakers, con-
tactors, overload relays, and time relays.
Cage-type clamping units, known as Cage Clamp terminals in the case of
SIRIUS products, facilitate quick and maintenance-free wiring.
Design
The Cage Clamp terminal consists of two parts:
• A power rail for conducting current
• A sprung cage-type clamp for clamping strength
Figure 1-8: Cage Clamp terminal
Conductors
The Cage Clamp terminal on the switching devices clamps all copper wires
(single-core, stranded and finely stranded) from 0.25 mm2 to 2.5 mm2. The
conductors can be clamped directly or with some protection for splicing. To
this end, wire end ferrules or pin-end connectors can be placed on the con-
ductor ends. The best solution is an ultrasonically condensed conductor.

Safety
The devices are equipped with a two-wire connection. In other words, there
are two independent connections for each conducting path.
Only one conductor is connected to each clamping unit.
The clamp presses the conductor against the power rail, which is curved at
this point. The high specific compressive load thus achieved is gas-tight.
The clamp presses its flat surface against the conductor, thus avoiding dam-
age to it. The spring force of the clamp is designed so that it automatically
adjusts to the radius of the conductor. This allows any deformation of the
conductor to be dealt with. It is not possible for the clamping unit to loosen
by itself.
This connection is vibration- and shock-proof. These types of stress do not
damage the conductor or cause any loss in contact.
Machines and systems in which this type of stress occurs, such as vibrators
and elevators, are particularly suitable applications for this connection.
Transfer
accuracy
The contact pressure between the conductor and power rail is optimal, mak-
ing this clamp terminal suitable for high-voltage installations and also for the
transfer of voltages and currents in the mV and mA ranges in measuring
technology and electronics.
Tool
Screwdrivers can be obtained from the NSK (low-voltage switchgear) cata-
log for opening the Cage Clamp terminals.
Procedure
The following table shows you how to use the Cage Clamp:

The screwdriver head auto-
matically keeps the clamp
open.
2

Small conductor cross-
sections
With conductor cross-sections that are ≤ 1 mm2, you have to use an insula-
ting stop to ensure the conductors remain securely clamped.
The illustration below shows the procedure:

1.5.4 Connection cross-sections
Because SIRIUS is a modular system, the connection cross-sections are the
same for all devices of a single frame size.

1.6 Communication
Figure 1-10: Communication
1.6.1 Communication-capable low-voltage switching technology
This uniform range of communication-capable Siemens switching devices
represents an innovative concept for effective cubicle automation. Commu-
nication with the higher-level control system via open, PROFIBUS-DP, and
AS-Interface connections.
Actuator-sensor inter-
face (AS-Interface)
AS-Interface is a standardized, non-proprietary networking system
(IEC 62026-2) for simple and usually binary actuators and sensors. It is pos-
sible to connect it to SIMATIC programmable logic controllers via different
master modules. A DP/AS-Interface link also ensures direct integration in a
PROFIBUS-DP system or connection to other field buses via couplers. Up to
248 sensors and 186 actuators can be connected to an AS-Interface network
over a maximum of 500 m. Safety-related signals can now also be net-
worked with AS-Interface, thus dispensing with the wiring of emergency
stop signals that was needed previously.
PROFIBUS
PROFIBUS is a standardized, non-proprietary field bus system (IEC 61158)
to which most PLCs of leading manufacturers can be connected. Up to 125
nodes can be incorporated in one bus segment. Distances of up to 9.6 km
can be bridged with copper cables and up to 100 km with fiber-optic cables.

PROFIBUS-DP
PROFIBUS-DP (DP being a German abbreviation for distributed I/O) is used
for switching devices with higher communication requirements (e.g. the
transmission of analog actual values with extremely fast response times). It
is also used to link individual AS-Interface segments.
1.6.2 Parameterization of PROFIBUS-DP and bus-capable low-voltage switching devices
Before commissioning, PROFIBUS-DP must be configured, and the individ-
ual bus nodes must be parameterized. There are user-friendly tools available
to the user for configuration and parameter assignment.
Parameter assignment
tools
• For SIMATIC S7 masters, all the functions are integrated in the STEP 7
programming language.
• For SIMATIC S5 masters and various non-Siemens masters, the COM
PROFIBUS parameter assignment software is required.
• Manufacturers of non-Siemens masters offer other configuration and
parameter assignment programs.
Applications
The above program packages make it easy to carry out the following for
PROFIBUS-DP and its nodes:
• Configuration
• Parameter assignment
• Documentation
• Commissioning
• Testing
• Diagnostics
For additional information on communication-capable low-voltage switching
devices, as well as system components and accessories, see the following
catalogs:
• ST 70 "S7, M7 and C7 Programmable Logic Controllers"
• IK PI "Industrial Communication and Field Devices"
1.6.3 Actuator-sensor interface (AS-Interface)
The actuator-sensor interface (AS-Interface) is a modular networking system
for sensors and actuators in the lowest field range.
It makes no difference to the program in the programmable controller
whether parallel wiring with input/output modules or AS-Interface is used. It
is therefore possible for existing systems to change to AS-Interface because
you can continue to use the same programs. The entire system can be oper-
ated without additional software. It is not necessary to be familiar with the
internal workings of AS-Interface.
SIRIUS System Manual
1-24
GWA 4NEB 430 0999-02b
Replacement for the
cable harness
Process signals that occur in situ, are normally transferred to the open loop
control using extensive parallel wiring and input/output modules. This
means that each sensor or actuator in the field is connected to the input/
output modules with its own cable. AS-Interface makes it possible to
replace this cable harness with a simple two-wire cable for all sensors or
actuators.
Data and power on a
two-wire cable
The master communicates with the nodes via the AS-Interface cable. As
well as data, this cable also transfers the supply voltage for the electronic
components and sensors. The voltage is supplied to the AS-Interface cable
from a special AS-Interface power supply unit with a data link.
Setting up different
structures
The AS-Interface cable is laid in the same way as for an electrical installa-
tion. A new feeder can be inserted at any point. This makes it possible to set
up network structures (e.g. tree, star or line structures). No shielding or ter-
minating resistors are required. The wiring can be adapted individually to the
system or machine.
Detailed configuration and installation guidelines can be found in the instal-
lation guideline "Montage des Vernetzungssystems AS-Interface" (on mount-
ing the AS-Interface networking system).
Maximum system con-
figuration
Up to 62 nodes can be connected to the AS-Interface cable. A node is, for
example, an AS-Interface module (digital or analog) or a BERO (proximity
switch) with an integrated AS-Interface chip. A maximum of 4 binary stan-
dard sensors and/or 4 actuators can be connected to an AS-Interface mod-
ule.
This produces a maximum configuration of 248 sensors and 186 actuators
(62 nodes x 4 inputs and 3 outputs).
IP 67 degree of
protection
AS-Interface is a networking system for direct use on the machine. The AS-
Interface user compact modules have IP 67 protection. They can be used in
situ without being enclosed.
There are also AS-Interface modules for use with IP 20 protection in the
cubicles or distributed switchboxes.
SIRIUS System Manual
GWA 4NEB 430 0999-02b
1-25
New installation
system
All compact modules are placed on a mounting plate. The mounting plate
takes the AS-Interface cable and keeps it in place. Polarity reversal is not
possible due to the profile of the cable. The compact modules are simply
hooked on at the top of the mounting plate and secured with just one screw.
When you secure the modules, contact is made with the AS-Interface cable.
You do not have to strip or screw on the cable.
Coding prevents errors
All the modules are mechanically and electrically coded.
The coding system prevents errors occurring in the event of replacement. At
replacement, only one module of the same type can ever be mounted. This
stops digital or analog modules (or even inputs or outputs) getting mixed up.
Addressing
To participate in data transfer with the master, each node must be assigned
an address before commissioning of the AS-Interface network. Addressing
devices are available for this.
Addressing an installed
module
There is an additional feature which makes new Siemens modules even
more user-friendly: the addressing socket.
Using this socket you can address a module after it has been installed. It is
not necessary to unscrew the module. Installation can be carried out in the
system by personnel who are not familiar with the AS-Interface. The com-
missioning engineer can address the modules easily when they are already
installed. For the first time, this type of addressing is also possible with
IP 67 protection.
Diagnostics at a glance
The new generation of AS-Interface modules (compact modules, analog
modules, and SlimLine modules) has the new display system developed by
Siemens.
The status of a module is displayed by two LEDs lighting up continuously or
flashing.
This simple diagnostic feature directly on the module makes it possible for
the user to find the error quickly and efficiently. This in turn reduces down-
times.
Certificates of the AS-
Interface association
All Siemens AS-Interface products are tested in acc. with the relevant
testing regulations in an accredited test laboratory and certified by the AS-
Interface association.
SIRIUS System Manual
1-26
GWA 4NEB 430 0999-02b
Digital compact mod-
ules with IP 67
protection
The AS-Interface modules in the compact range are characterized by opti-
mized operating features and improved user-friendliness.
This can reduce mounting and commissioning times for AS-Interface by up
to 40%. Additional LEDs provide information on the most important operat-
ing modes of the module, resulting in a considerable increase in system
availability.
The modules of the compact range consist of two components:
Mounting plate and compact module
The mounting plate mechanically fixes the AS-Interface profile cables, takes
the compact module, and serves as a template with drill holes.
The compact module contains the electronic components for communica-
tion and the M12 standard connections for inputs/outputs. Up to four sen-
sors and four actuators can be easily and reliably connected to the compact
module using the M12 standard connection.
The mounting plate and compact module are only connected to each other
by means of a single screw. Contact is established with the AS-Interface
cable by means of the proven insulation displacement method.
AS-Interface modules in the compact range that have an M12 connection
can have a protective conductor (PE) connected to them.
Using an addressing socket integrated in the compact module, you can also
allocate addresses when the module is in place.
Analog compact mod-
ules with IP 67
protection
The design of the analog modules has been adapted for the compact mod-
ules. The analog input and output modules each have two channels. You can
connect measuring sensors and analog actuators using standard M12 con-
nectors. The following groups of analog modules exist:
• Input module for two current sensors
• Input module for two voltage sensors
• Input module for two thermal resistors
• Output module for two current actuators
• Output module for two voltage actuators
All the measured values - except for the thermal resistance value of Pt 100
(not linear) - are available in linear form. In other words, the non-linear trans-
mission curve of the thermal resistor sensor is automatically linearized in
the analog module, and measured values can be processed directly in the
programmable controller.
The input and output channels are isolated. Two-wire and four-wire sensors
can be connected. Differential inputs produce considerable suppression of
common-mode interference. The integrating sigma-delta converter ensures
high measurement accuracy.
SIRIUS System Manual
GWA 4NEB 430 0999-02b
1-27
Pneumatic compact
modules with IP 65 and
IP 67 protection
The pneumatic compact module is a highly integrated AS-Interface slave. As
an input/output module that is entirely suitable for field deployment, it has
four electrical inputs and two pneumatic outputs. The electrical inputs
behave in the same way as the inputs of the digital input/output compact
modules.
Both integrated pneumatic outputs are implemented by means of two pre-
set 4/2-way valves (2 to 8 bar; 550 Nl/min) with a shared compressed-air
supply and separate exhaust air collection and can be operated manually
using separate slide valves. Two cylinders that work in tandem, for example,
can be connected to a module in this range.
Connections to AS-Interface are made via the standard mounting plate. The
AS-Interface cable is inserted into the corresponding cable guides, and the
upper part is secured to the mounting plate by means of a screw. The mod-
ule is ready for use.
Safety first -
emergency stop via
AS-i
AS-Interface is the first system on the market that can transmit both stan-
dard signals and safety-related input signals (e.g. emergency stop) via the
same cable.
Only an additional safety monitor and safe modules are required to use AS-
Interface as a safety bus. This enables category 4 in acc. with EN 954-1 to
be achieved. A failsafe programmable controller or special master is not nec-
essary.
The concept and implementation of AS-Interface Safety at Work (AS-Inter-
face SaW) have been tested and certified by TÜV (technical testing associa-
tion).
This means that the system can be converted to the considerably more flex-
ible AS-Interface network, which is already available, thus obviating the
need for the complex, separately implemented emergency stop wiring that
has been necessary up to now.

The 3RV1 circuit breakers have 3 poles. To achieve the highest degree of
flexibility, auxiliary switches, alarm switches, auxiliary releases, and other
accessories can be easily attached to the circuit breakers without tools, as
required.
3RV1 circuit breakers and 3RT1 contactors are built to work together on
both an electrical level and physically. This enables them to be easily and
quickly put together to make load feeders.
Frame sizes
3RV1 circuit breakers are available in 4 frame sizes (S00 to S3).

2.2.1 General description
Fields of application
The 3RV1 circuit breakers are suitable for:
• Motor and plant protection
• Transformer protection
• Starter protection (short-circuit protection)
The 3RV16 11-0BD10 circuit breaker, frame size S00, is used for fuse moni-
toring.
Releases
3RV1 circuit breakers have:
• Inverse-time delay, thermal overload releases
• Instantaneous short-circuit releases
The overload releases can be set to the load current.
The short-circuit releases are set permanently to 12 times the rated current,
which allows motors to start up without problems. Circuit breakers used for
transformer protection are set to 19 times the rated current to avoid being
tripped by the high inrush current.
When the circuit breakers are tripped, in the case of frame size S00 the tog-
gle switch goes into the tripped position, and in the case of frame sizes S0
to S3 the rotary switch switches to the tripped position. Before it is
switched on again, the rotary switch must be put in the 0 position manually
to avoid switching to the fault inadvertently.
In the case of circuit breakers with a rotary switch, the tripping operation
can also be reported electrically by means of an alarm switch.
Tripping classes
In acc. with IEC 947-4-1:
• Frame sizes S00 to S3: class 10
• Frame sizes S2/S3: class 20
Auxiliary release
The circuit breakers can also be equipped with one of the following auxiliary
releases:
• Shunt release
• Undervoltage release
• Undervoltage release with leading auxiliary contacts
Auxiliary contact ele-
ments
The circuit breakers can be equipped with a transverse auxiliary switch, an
electronically optimized transverse auxiliary switch or a lateral auxiliary
switch (Section 2.4 Accessories).
Shock protection
Shock protection can be improved by covering the terminals and connec-
tions. This can be achieved with the following accessories:
• Frame size S00, S0: protective caps for transverse auxiliary switches
• Frame size S2, S3: terminal covers for box terminals
• Terminal covers for lug and bar connection

Switches
The state of the circuit breakers can be determined by the position of the
switches:
Table 2-2: Contact position indicators of the circuit breakers
Figure 2-4: Tripped position, 3RV (frame size S0)
Locking the circuit
breakers
You can prevent the circuit breaker from being switched on by unauthorized
persons by securing the switch drive (toggle switch or rotary switch) with a
padlock (shackle diameter 3.5 to 4.5 mm).
Figure 2-5: Locking the toggle switch (frame size S00)
Reclosing after a tripping operation
After the circuit breaker has been tripped, the switch goes into the tripped
position to indicate this. You use the switch to close the circuit again.
In the case of frame sizes S0 to S3, the rotary switch must be put in the
OFF position manually before it is switched on again to avoid switching to
the fault inadvertently.
In the case of frame sizes S2 and S3, it is possible to switch on and off using
a motorized remote-control mechanism (see Section 2.4, Accessories).

The following table shows you how overload tripping of the circuit breaker is
tested:
Table 2-3: Testing overload tripping (example: frame size S00)
2.2.3 Information on configuration
Short-circuit protection
The short-circuit releases of the 3RV1 circuit breakers execute a three-phase
isolation of the faulty load feeder from the network and prevent any further
damage.
With a short-circuit breaking capacity of 50 kA or 100 kA and a voltage
of 400 VAC, the switches are considered to be short circuit-proof, since hig-
her short-circuit currents are not to be expected where the switches are
installed.
Backup fuses are only required if the short-circuit current at the point of
installation exceeds the rated short-circuit breaking capacity of the circuit
breakers.
You will find the short-circuit breaking capacity for other voltages and the
size of any required fuse listed in Section 2.6, Technical specifications.
Conditions of applica-
tion
3RV1 circuit breakers are climate-proof. They are intended for use in closed
areas where there are no harzardous operating conditions such as dust, cor-
rosive fumes or destructive gases.
Appropriate housings are available as an accessory for use in dusty and
damp areas (see Section 2.4).
Inrush current
Because the operational currents, the starting currents and the current
spikes vary on account of the inrush current, even in motors of the same
power, the motor powers listed in the tables are only guide values. Most
important when selecting the correct circuit breakers are the concrete start-
ing data and rating of the motor to be protected. This also applies to circuit
breakers used for transformer protection.

Phase loss
sensitivity
The phase loss sensitivity of the circuit breaker ensures that it is tripped in
good time in the event of the loss of a phase and the resulting overcurrents
in the other phases.
During normal operation, the device should have a three-pole load. To pro-
tect single-phase loads or direct current loads, all 3 main conducting paths
should be switched in series.
Explosion protection
Note
In the case of a three-pole load, at 5 to 8 times the set current, the release
time deviates by a maximum of ± 20% and therefore complies with the
requirement of DIN VDE 0165 and EN 50019: 1977 +A1 to A5 and
DIN VDE 0165.
Characteristics
The tripping characteristic of the inverse-time delayed overload release
(thermal overload release, a-release) is valid for direct current and alternat-
ing current with frequencies of 0 to 400 Hz.
The characteristics are valid for tripping operations from a cold state. From a
warm state, the release times of the thermal releases are reduced to
approximately 25 %.
The tripping characteristics of the instantaneous electromagnetic overcur-
rent releases (short-circuit release, n-release) is based on the rated current
In, which in circuit breakers with adjustable overload releases is also the
upper value of the adjustment range.
The following is a chart of the time-current characteristic:

Frequency sensitivity of
the short-circuit
releases
The characteristics of the short-circuit releases apply to frequencies of 50/
60 Hz. For lower frequencies, such as 16 2/3 Hz, for higher frequencies up
to 400 Hz, and for direct current, appropriate correction factors have to be
taken into account.
The following characteristic curve illustrates the frequency sensitivity of the
short-circuit releases (calibrated to 12 times Iu +20%):

The increase in tripping current is approximately 30% for DC voltage.

2.3 Field of application/variants
The tripping characteristics of the 3RV1 circuit breakers are designed prima-
rily to protect three-phase induction motors.
The circuit breakers are therefore also referred to as motor protecting
switches.
The 3RV1 circuit breakers for motor protection are limited to the protection
of systems.
2.3.1 Motor protection
Set current
The current of the motor that is to be protected is set on the adjustment
scale. The short-circuit release is set at the factory to 12 times the value of
the rated current of the circuit breaker. This ensures problem-free startup
and reliable protection of the motor.
Phase loss
sensitivity
The phase loss sensitivity of the circuit breaker ensures that it is tripped in
good time in the event of the loss of a phase and the resulting overcurrents
in the other phases.
CLASS10/CLASS20
Circuit breakers of frame sizes S00 to S3 with thermal overload releases
comply with tripping class 10 (CLASS 10). Circuit breakers with the
CLASS 20 tripping characteristic are available for frame sizes S2 and S3 in
difficult startup conditions.
2.3.2 Transformer protection
Inrush current
In the case of primary protection of control transformers, the high inrush
currents that occur when the transformers are switched on often result in
the unwanted tripping of the protective devices.
The 3RV1 circuit breakers with frame sizes S0 and S2 therefore have over-
current releases for the protection of transformers that are set at the factory
to approximately 19 times the rated current. This makes it possible to pro-
tect transformers in which the inrush currents reach peak values of up to 30
times the rated current with circuit breakers in the primary circuit.
In the case of 4AM control transformers with low inrush current (Siemens
control transformers, for example), this is not required. 3RV1 circuit brea-
kers can be used here for motor protection.
2.3.3 Starter protection
The 3RV13 starter protection switches are circuit breakers without overload
releases. They are used together with a contactor and overload relay if the
circuit breaker is not to be triggered in the case of overload tripping.
3RV1 circuit breakers

2-14
GWA 4NEB 430 0999-02b
2.3.4 Circuit breakers with overload relay function
Circuit breakers with the 3RV11 overload relay function are available for
frame sizes S0, S2, and S3.
Description
Circuit breakers with the overload relay function contain overload releases
that do not affect the breaker mechanism of the circuit breakers. In the
event of an overload, the circuit breaker remains switched on.
To protect the following loads, 2 auxiliary contacts (1S + 1Ö) are attached on
the right side. These are operated in the event of an overload. The auxiliary
switch function can be evaluated or used to disconnect a downstream con-
tactor. After the circuit breaker has cooled down, the auxiliary contacts are
reset automatically.
Caution
In the overload range, the circuit breaker does not protect itself with the
overload relay function. You must therefore ensure that the circuit breaker is
safely disconnected by means of a downstream switching device (e.g. a
contactor).
Fixed link: auxiliary
contacts with circuit

Note:
The auxiliary contacts are connected to the circuit breaker on the right side
and cannot be removed.

2.3.5 Fuse monitoring
The 3RV16 11-0BD10 circuit breaker is used with frame size S00 for fuse
monitoring.
A conducting path of the circuit breaker is switched in parallel for each fuse.
If one fuse fails, the current flows via the parallel-switched conducting path
of the circuit breaker and trips it.

Warning
Fuse monitoring using the 3RV16 11-0DB10 circuit breaker is not permissible
in feeders with power control regulators where a DC feedback with higher
values can occur in the event of a fault.
Auxiliary switch func-
tions
The circuit breaker used for fuse monitoring can be equipped with a trans-
verse or lateral auxiliary switch (Section 2.4, Accessories). The auxiliary
switch reports the tripping of the circuit breaker and thus the failure of the
fuse and initiates an all-pole disconnection of the problem circuit by a corre-
sponding switching device.
Safety sign
Note
When fuses used for isolation purposes are monitored, a warning sign must
be put up next to them. Via the parallel-switched voltage circuit of the moni-
toring facility, voltage may get into the area that is supposed to be isolated if
the monitoring equipment has not bee disconnected.
We suggest the following text for the warning:
Voltages
The 3RV16 11-0DB10 circuit breaker is suitable for fuse monitoring in the fol-
lowing voltage ranges:
• 24 to 690 VAC, 50/60 Hz
• 24 to 250 VDC, 100 to 600 VDC

Parallel cables/meshed
networks
Attention
In the case of parallel cables and meshed networks, a tripping operation and
report only occurs when the voltage difference at the circuit breaker is at
least 24 V.
2.3.6 Switching direct current
The 3RV1 circuit breakers for alternating current are suitable for switching
direct current. However, you must note the maximum permissible DC volt-
age per conducting path. In the case of higher voltages, series connection
of 2 or 3 conducting paths is required.
Response thresholds
The response thresholds of the overload releases remain unchanged. The
response thresholds of the short-circuit releases are increased with direct
current by approximately 40%.
The following table lists suggestions for switching direct current:

Note
In the case of the circuit with 2-pole switching and an ungrounded system, it

Opening the door
The following table shows you how the cubicle door can be opened using
the rotary switch extension for the door:
Table 2-10: Opening a cubicle door using the rotary switch extension
Opening the door with
great force
Note:
If the circuit breaker is in the ON position and the door is opened with a
force >150 N to 200 N, the cap of the extension shaft is separated from the
rotary switch of the circuit breaker to prevent the circuit breaker being
destroyed.
The circuit breaker remains in the ON position.

Combination of
frame sizes S00
and S0
Circuit breakers in frame sizes S00 and S0 vary in height and depth and
therefore cannot be combined on one busbar. You can combine two busbars
for circuit breakers in frame sizes S0 and S00 using an extension piece.
Extending the
bus
It is possible to extend the busbars by clamping the connecting lugs of a fur-
ther bus (turned 180°) under the terminals of the last circuit breaker (see the
section on mounting).
Attention
Note the current-carrying capacity of the busbars when you extend them.
Accessories
The following accessories are available for the isolated 3-phase busbar sys-
tem:
• Feed-in terminal from above (3RV1915-5A for S00, 3RV1925-5AB for S0,
3RV1935-5A for S2)
• Feed-in terminal from below (3RV1915-5B for S00, S0)
• Connector
A connector links two 3-phase busbars over a space of 45 mm for circuit
breakers in frame sizes S00 and S0.
• Protective cap for connecting lugs (3RV19 15-6AB)
Protective caps provide shock protection for spare slots. To extend the
bus, remove the protective caps.
• Spacer
Feed-in terminal
3-phase feed-in terminals make it possible to have greater conductor cross-
sections than on the circuit breaker itself.
Tightening torque: 2 to 4 Nm (17.6 to 35.2 LB.IN).

2.5.1 Mounting
Mounting position
You can install the 3RV1 circuit breakers anywhere.
Snap-on mounting
The circuit breakers are mounted by snapping them onto 35 mm rails that
comply with DIN EN 50 022. The circuit breakers with a frame size of S3
require a rail with an installation height of 15 mm. Alternatively, they can also
be snapped onto 75 mm rails.
Figure 2-31: Mounting the circuit breakers onto the rail
Screw-on mounting
The circuit breakers are attached to a flat surface with 2 screws. For circuit
breakers in frame sizes S00 and S0, two push-in lugs (3RB1900-0B) (pack of
10) are also required.
Circuit breakers in frame sizes S2 and S3 can be screwed directly onto a
base plate.

2.5.2 Connection
Tools
You require the following to connect the circuit breakers:
• Frame sizes S00 to S2: Pozidriv 2 screwdriver
• Frame size S3: Allen key (4 mm)
Conductor cross-sec-
tions
The typical SIRIUS conductor cross-sections apply (see Section 1.5.2 "Con-
ductor cross-sections").
Screw-type terminals
3RV1 circuit breakers with frame sizes S00 and S0 have terminals with cap-
tive screws and terminal washers that enable you to connect 2 conductors,
even if they have different cross-sections.
The box terminals of the circuit breakers of frame sizes S2 and S3 can also
take 2 conductors with different cross-sections. With the exception of circuit
breakers of frame size S3, which have terminal screws with a 4 mm Allen
screw, all the terminal screws can be tightened using a standard screwdriver
or a Pozidriv screwdriver (size 2).
You can remove the box terminals from circuit breakers with a frame size of
S3 to connect conductors with lugs or connecting bars. A terminal cover is
available as shock protection and to ensure that you comply with the
required creepages and clearances when the box terminals are removed.
Soldering pin connec-
tor
Circuit breakers in frame size S00 can be soldered onto printed circuit
boards by means of a soldering pin connector. A soldering pin connector is
available for the main contacts and the transverse auxiliary switch.
