2.2 Device description
3RV1 circuit breakers are used to switch and protect three-phase induction
motors of up to 45 kW at 400 VAC and for loads with rated currents of up to
100 A.
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).
Figure 2-1: 3RV1 circuit breakers (frame sizes S00 to S3)
The following table shows you the frame sizes and the corresponding maxi-
mum rated operational current at a voltage of 400 VAC. The last column in
the table tells you which three-phase induction motor is suitable for which
particular size.
