Design
Screw terminals
3RV1 motor starter protectors of sizes S00 and S0 are fitted with
terminals with captive screws and clamping pieces, allowing the
connection of 2 conductors with different cross-sections.
The box terminals of the S2 and S3 motor starter protectors also
enable 2 conductors with different cross-sections to be connec-
ted. With the exception of S3 motor starter protectors which are
equipped with 4 mm Allen screws, all terminal screws are tighte-
ned with a Pozidriv screwdriver size 2.
The box terminals of the S3 motor starter protectors can be re-
moved in order to connect conductors with cable lugs or con-
necting bars. A terminal cover is available as touch protection
and to ensure that the required clearances and creepage distan-
ces are maintained if the box terminals are removed.
Cage Clamp terminals
As an alternative to screw terminals, S00 motor starter protectors
are also available with Cage Clamp terminals.
Motor starter protector size S00 with Cage Clamp terminals
This screwless connection method, already familiar from termi-
nal blocks, clamps the conductors using a spring-type terminal
and is shock-proof and vibration-proof.
Motor starter protectors with Cage Clamp terminals allow inde-
pendent connection of two conductors per terminal.
Mounting
The motor starter protectors are snap-fitted on a 35 mm standard
mounting rail to EN 60715.
Push-in lugs for screwing the motor starter protector onto mounting pla-
tes.
A standard mounting rail with a height of 15 mm is required for
size S3 motor starter protectors. A 75 mm standard mounting rail
can be used as an alternative for size S3.
S2 and S3 motor starter protectors can also be screwed directly
onto a base plate.
The 3RB19 00-0B push-in lugs are available for screw mounting
of S00 and S0 motor starter protectors.

3RV16 voltage transformer circuit breakers up to 3 A
The voltage transformer circuit breaker widely corresponds with
the SIRIUS 3RV1 motor starter protector, size S00. Two special
features are taken into account for safe prevention of false trip-
ping of the distance protection device.
Auxiliary switch for blocking the distance protection
The main contacts of the circuit breaker are opened if the vol-
tage transformer circuit breaker is tripped or switched off. The
distance protection would falsely interpret low impedance as a
fault, which results in immediate power disconnection within only
a few milliseconds.
To prevent this false tripping, special auxiliary contacts with a
time-dependent assignment to the circuit breaker's main con-
tacts (see timing diagram) must be provided. The distance pro-
tection is blocked with the help of these auxiliary contacts and
thus prevents false tripping.
An auxiliary switch for blocking the distance protection device is
available as 1 changeover contact fitted permanently in the
voltage transformer circuit breaker. This changeover contact
can be used as 1 NO (11-14) or 1 NC (11-12). Thanks to the
high contact stability of these auxiliary contacts at the lowest
possible rated operational currents, they are also suitable for
modern solid-state distance protection devices.
The laterally mounted auxiliary switches of the SIRIUS range can
be used for signaling purposes. They cannot be used for blo-
cking the distance protection device.
Impedance across the main contacts
There is only minor current flow across the main contacts of the
voltage transformer circuit breaker.
To ensure reliable functioning of the distance protection, transfer
resistance of the main contacts must be minimal and nearly con-
stant throughout the endurance of the circuit breaker.
This is implemented with suitable contacts and contact materials
for the 3RV16 voltage transformer circuit breaker.
Timing diagram of auxiliary switches for blocking distance protection
Installation guidelines for motor starter protectors/circuit breakers
When mounting the motor starter protectors, the following clea-
rances must be maintained to grounded or live parts and to
cable ducts made of molded plastic.

Function
Trip units
3RV1 motor starter protectors are equipped with inverse-time
delayed overload release based on the bimetal principle and
with instantaneous electronic trip units (electromagnetic short-
circuit releases).
The overload releases can be adjusted in accordance with the
load current. The electronic trip units are permanently set to a
value 13 times the rated current and thus enable trouble-free st-
arting of motors.
Motor starter protectors for line-side transformer protection are
set to 20 times the rated current to prevent tripping as a result of
high transformer inrush current.
The scale cover can be sealed to prevent unauthorized adjust-
ments to the set current.
Trip classes
The trip classes of thermally delayed trip units are based on the
tripping time (tA) at 7.2 times the set current in cold state (ex-
cerpt from IEC 60947-4):
• CLASS 10A: 2 s < tA<10s
• CLASS 10: 4 s < tA<10s
• CLASS 20: 6 s < tA<20s
• CLASS 30: 9 s < tA<30s
The motor starter protector must trip within this time!
Operating mechanisms
S00 motor starter protectors are actuated by a rocker operating
mechanism and S0, S2 and S3 motor starter protectors by a ro-
tary operating mechanism. If the motor starter protector trips, the
rotary operating mechanism switches to the tripped position to
indicate this. Before the motor starter protector is reclosed, the
rotary operating mechanism must be reset manually to the 0 po-
sition. Only then can the motor starter protector be set again to
the I position.
In the case of motor starter protectors with rotary operating me-
chanisms, an electrical signal can be output by a signal switch
to indicate that the motor starter protector has tripped.
All operating mechanisms can be locked in the 0 position with a
padlock (shackle diameter 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm).
The motor starter protector isolating function complies with
IEC 60947-2.
■
Configuration
Prevention of unintended tripping
In order to prevent premature tripping due to the integrated
phase failure sensitivity, motor starter protectors should always
be connected to ensure current flows through all three main cur-
rent paths.
Short-circuit protection
If a short-circuit occurs, the short-circuit releases of 3RV1 motor
starter protectors isolate the faulty load feeder from the network
and thus prevent further damage.
Motor starter protectors with a short-circuit breaking capacity of
50 kA or 100 kA are virtually short-circuit resistant at a voltage of
400 V AC, since higher short-circuit currents are not to be ex-
pected in practice.
Motor protection
The tripping characteristics of 3RV10/3RV11 motor starter pro-
tectors are designed mainly to protect induction motors.
The motor starter protectors are therefore also referred to as
motor-protective circuit breakers.
The rated current In of the motor to be protected is set on the set-
ting scale. Factory setting of the short-circuit release is 13 times
the rated current of the motor starter protector. This permits trou-
ble-free starting and ensures that the motor is properly
protected.
The phase failure sensitivity of the motor starter protector ensu-
res that it is tripped in time in the event of a phase failure and
overcurrents that occur as a result in the other phases.
Motor starter protectors with thermal overload releases are nor-
mally designed in accordance with trip class 10 (CLASS 10).
Motor starter protectors of sizes S2 and S3 are also available in
trip class 20 (CLASS 20) and therefore allow motors to be star-
ted up under arduous conditions.
Motor protection with overload relay function
(automatic RESET)
The 3RV11 motor starter protectors for motor protection with
overload relay function are designed for the protection of induc-
tion motors.
They are equipped with the same short-circuit release and over-
load release as motor starter protectors for motor protection wit-
hout overload relay function.
The motor starter protector always remains closed in the event
of an overload. The overload release activates only two auxiliary
contacts (1 NO + 1 NC). The overload trip can be signaled to a
higher-level control with the help of these auxiliary contacts. Ge-
nerally, it is also possible to open a downstream contactor
directly.
The overload signal is reset automatically. The motor starter pro-
tector itself only trips if a short-circuit occurs downstream.

System protection
The 3RV10 and 3RV11 motor starter protectors for motor
protection are also suitable for plant protection.
In order to prevent premature tripping due to phase failure sen-
sitivity, the three conducting paths must always be uniformly loa-
ded. The conducting paths must be connected in series in the
case of single-phase loads.
The 3RV17 and 3RV18 circuit breakers are suitable for system
protection and at the same time they are approved as circuit
breakers according to UL 489 and CSA C22.2 No. 5-02 for
100 % rated current (100 % rated breaker).
Short-circuit protection for starter combinations
The 3RV13 motor starter protectors for starter combinations in si-
zes S0, S2 and S3 provide short-circuit protection with the help
of a contactor and overload relay combination.
Like the motor starter protectors 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 motor
starter protectors. They are not equipped with overload
releases.
On overload, the overload relay triggers the contactor, the motor
starter protector remains closed.
Only when a short-circuit occurs in the feeder does the motor
starter protector trip as well.
The motor starter protector for starter combinations must always
be used in combination with an overload relay because the
motor starter protector alone cannot protect the motor and itself
against overload.
Transformer protection
When control transformers are protected on the line side, the
high inrush currents generated at the time the transformers are
switched on often cause spurious tripping in the protection me-
chanisms.
3RV14 motor starter protectors in sizes S0 and S2 and 3RV18
circuit breakers in size S0 for protecting transformers are there-
fore fitted with electronic trip units which are permanently set in
the factory to a value equivalent to 20 times the rated current. For
the 3RV17 circuit breakers in sizes S0 and S3 these electronic
trip units are set in the factory to approximately 13 times the ra-
ted current.
Motor starter protectors can thus be used to provide line-side
protection for transformers, the inrush peak currents of which are
up to 30 times the rated current.
The 3RV17 and 3RV18 are approved as circuit breakers accor-
ding to UL 489 and CSA 22.2 No. 5-02 for the protection of
transformers, the 3RV18 circuit breakers size S0 are designed
specially for the protection of transformers with high inrush cur-
rent.
This version of motor starter protector is not necessary in the
case of control-power transformers with low inrush currents,
such as control transformers from Siemens. 3RV1 motor starter
protectors for motor protection can be used in this case.
Main and EMERGENCY-STOP switches
The 3RV10, 3RV11, 3RV13, 3RV14 and 3RV16 motor starter
protectors comply with the isolating function to IEC 60947-2,
therefore they can be used – taking IEC 60204-1 into account –
as main and EMERGENCY-STOP switches.
3RV19 .6-2. door-coupling rotary operating mechanisms for
heavy duty also comply with the requirements for the isolating
function.
Fuse monitoring
The 3RV16 11-0BD10 motor starter protector size S00 is used for
fuse monitoring.
A fuse is connected in parallel with each conducting path of the
motor starter protector. When a fuse blows, the current flows
through the parallel conducting path and trips the motor starter
protector.
The 3RV16 11-0BD10 motor starter protector for fuse monitoring
must be equipped with a transverse or lateral auxiliary switch
(see "Accessories") that signals a tripping operation of the motor
starter protector and thus the tripping of the fuse, or switches off
all poles of the disrupted electric circuit with the help of an ap-
propriate switching device.
Motor starter protector for fuse monitoring
Notes on safety
When monitoring fuses with safety isolating functions, a warning
sign must be affixed near the fuses indicating that voltage may
still be present through the parallel circuit of the monitoring
equipment assumed to be isolated after the fuse has been remo-
ved and if the monitoring equipment is not switched off.
We recommend the following text for this warning:
Caution!
For safety isolation, also switch off fuse monitoring equipment
with the item code ......
The 3RV16 11-0BD10 motor starter protector for fuse monitoring
is suitable for the following voltages: AC 50 Hz/60 Hz from 24 V
to 690 V and up to 450 V DC. Fuse monitoring with
3RV16 11-0BD10 motor starter protector is not permissible in
feeders with power controllers that can induce DC feedback of
higher values when an error occurs.
With parallel cables and meshed systems, the motor starter
protector will only trip, and a signal will be output to indicate this,
if the voltage difference across the motor starter protector is at
least 24 V.
Use of IT systems (IT networks)
3RV1 motor starter protectors are suitable for operation in
IT systems according to IEC 60947-2. In the event of a three-
pole short-circuit, their response in this system is the same as in
others: Therefore, the same short-circuit breaking capacity Icu
and Ics applies, (see "Technical specifications").
An initial fault (ground fault) does not necessarily force immedi-
ate disconnection of the network when operating IT systems. If a
second independent error occurs (ground fault), the switching
capacity of the motor starter protector might be reduced.
This is the case if both ground faults occur in different phases
and if one of the ground faults occurs on the input side and the
other on the outgoing terminal of the motor starter protector.
In order to maintain the short-circuit function of the motor starter
protector even with two independent ground faults (double
ground faults), the reduced short-circuit breaking capacity with
double ground faults must be taken into account in IT systems
IcuIT (see "Technical specifications"). If a ground fault is instanta-
neously recognized and remedied (ground-fault monitoring), the
risk of double ground fault and thus reduced short-circuit brea-
king capacity IcuIT can be minimized.

Switching of direct current
3RV1 motor starter protectors for alternating currents are also
suitable for DC switching.
The maximum permissible DC voltage per conducting path
must, however, be adhered to. Higher voltages require a series
connection with 2 or 3 conducting paths.
The response values of the overload releases remain un-
changed, while the response values of the short-circuit releases
increase up to 40% with a DC current. The example circuits for
DC switching can be seen in the table below.
Example circuit for size S00 to S3 3RV1 motor starter protectors
1) It is assumed that this circuit always provides safe disconnection even in
the event of a double ground fault that bridges two contacts.
3RV16 voltage transformer circuit breakers up to 3 A
The voltage transformer circuit breaker protects the secondary
side of voltage transformers used to connect protection equip-
ment with voltage-dependent starting. The circuit breaker is
used for distance protection with low-impedance starting. Spe-
cial auxiliary contacts reliably prevent low-impedance starting
from triggering distance protection if only one fault has occurred
in the transformer line.
The voltage transformer circuit breaker can also be used to sa-
fely disconnect the distance protection device from the voltage
transformer. In this case, the special auxiliary contacts also pre-
vent false tripping of the distance protection.
Additional fuses are not required. A "Fuse Failure Monitor" (FFM)
is also not required.

Short-circuit breaking capacity Icu, Ics acc. to IEC 60947-2
This table shows the rated ultimate short-circuit breaking
capacity Icu and the rated service short-circuit breaking
capacity Ics of the 3RV1 motor starter protectors with different
inception voltages dependent of the rated current In of the motor
starter protectors.
Motor starter protector infeed is permissible at the upper or lo-
wer terminals without restricting the rated data. If the short-cir-
cuit current at the place of installation exceeds the rated short-
circuit breaking capacity of the motor starter protector as speci-
fied in the table, a back-up fuse is required. Alternatively, a
motor starter protector with a limiter function can be connected
upstream.
The maximum rated current for the back-up fuse is specified in
the tables. The rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity
then applies as specified on the fuse.
Fuseless construction
Motor starter protector contactor combinations for short-circuit
currents up to 50 kA can be ordered in the form of fuseless load
feeders according to Chapter 6.
1) 10 % overvoltage.
2) 5 % overvoltage.
3) Back-up fuse only required if the short-circuit current at the place of
installation > Icu.
4) Alternatively, fuseless limiter combinations for 690 V AC can also be used.
5) The values for the 3RV17 42 circuit breakers have been tested only up to
400 V/415 V AC; values > 440 V AC on request.

General data
Short-circuit breaking capacity IcuIT in the IT system
(IT network) according to IEC 60947-2
3RV1 motor starter protectors are suitable for operation in
IT systems. Values valid for triple-pole short-circuit are Icu up to
Ics. In case of double ground fault on different phases at the in-
put and output side of a motor starter protector, the special
short-circuit breaking capacity IcuIT applies. The specifications
in the table below apply to 3RV1 motor starter protectors.
In the colored areas, IcuIT is 100 kA, or in some ranges it is 50 kA.
Therefore the motor starter protectors are short-circuit resistant
in these ranges.
If the short-circuit current at the place of installation exceeds the
rated short-circuit breaking capacity of the motor starter protec-
tor as specified in the table, a back-up fuse is required. The ma-
ximum rated current for the back-up fuse is specified in the tab-
les. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity then applies as
specified on the fuse.

Characteristic curves
The time/current characteristic, the current limiting characteris-
tics and the I2t characteristic curves were determined according
to EN/IEC 60947.
The tripping characteristic of the inverse-time delayed overload
release (thermal overload releases, 'a' releases) for DC and AC
with a frequency of 0 Hz to 400 Hz applies for the time/current
characteristic.
The characteristic curves apply to the cold state; at operating
temperature, the tripping times of the thermal releases are redu-
ced to approximately 25 %.
Under normal operating conditions, all three poles of the device
must be loaded. The three main current paths must be connec-
ted in series in order to protect single-phase or DC loads.
With two-pole and three-pole loading, the maximum deviation in
the tripping time of 3 times the setting current and upwards is
±20 % and thus in accordance with EN 60079.
The tripping characteristics for the instantaneous, electromag-
netic electronic trip units (short-circuit releases, 'n' releases) are
based on the rated current In that also represents the maximum
value of the setting range for motor starter protectors with adjus-
table overload releases. If the current is set to a lower value, the
tripping current of the 'n' release is increased by a correspon-
ding factor.
The characteristic curves of the electromagnetic electronic trip
units apply to frequencies of 50 Hz/60 Hz. Appropriate correc-
tion factors must be used for lower frequencies down to
16 2/3Hz, for higher frequencies up to 400 Hz and for DC.
Schematic representation of typical time/current characteristic of 3RV10
The above characteristic curve for the motor starter protector re-
lates to a specific setting range. It is, however, also valid as a
schematic representation of motor starter protectors with other
current ranges.

The specified tripping characteristics of the thermal overload re-
lease (a) correspond to the mean value of the scatter band in the
cold state. At operating temperature, these times are reduced to
approximately 25 % of the specified values.

Overview
Mounting location and function
The 3RV1 motor starter protectors/circuit breakers have three
main contact elements. In order to achieve maximum flexibility,
auxiliary switches, signal switches, auxiliary trip units and
isolator modules can be supplied separately.
These components can be fitted as required on the circuit
breakers/motor starter protectors without using tools.
For overview graphic see "General Data" --> "Overview".
For a complete overview of which accessories can be used for
the various motor starter protectors see "Introduction"
--> "Overview" --> "Motor Starter Protectors".
Front side
Notes:
• A maximum of 4 auxiliary contacts with
auxiliary switches can be attached to each
motor starter protector.
• Transverse auxiliary switches must not be
used for the 3RV17 and 3RV18 circuit brea-
kers.
Transverse auxiliary switches
1NO+1NC
or
2NO
or
1 CO contact
An auxiliary switch block can be inserted transversely on the front. The over-
all width of the motor starter protectors remains unchanged.
Left-hand side
Notes:
• A maximum of 4 auxiliary contacts with
auxiliary switches can be attached to each
motor starter protector/circuit breaker.
• Auxiliary switches (2 contacts) and signal
switches can be mounted separately or
together.
• The signal switch cannot be used for the
3RV17 and 3RV18 circuit breakers.
Lateral auxiliary switches
(2 contacts)
1NO+1NC
or
2NO
or
2NC
One of the three auxiliary switches can be mounted laterally for each motor
starter protector/circuit breaker. The contacts of the auxiliary switch close
and open together with the main contacts of the motor starter protector.
The overall width of the lateral auxiliary switch with 2 contacts is 9 mm.
Lateral auxiliary switches
(4 contacts)
2NO+2NC
One auxiliary switch can be mounted laterally for each motor starter protec-
tor. The contacts of the auxiliary switch close and open together with the
main contacts of the motor starter protector/circuit breaker.
The overall width of the lateral auxiliary switch with 4 contacts is 18 mm.
Signal switches for
sizes S0, S2 and S3
Tripping 1NO+1NC
Short-circuit 1 NO + 1 NC
One signal switch can be mounted at the side of each motor starter protector
with a rotary operating mechanism.
The signal switch has two contact systems.
One contact system always signals tripping irrespective of whether this was
caused by a short-circuit, an overload or an auxiliary trip unit. The other con-
tact system only switches in the event of a short-circuit. There is no signaling
as a result of switching off with the handle.
In order to be able to switch on the motor starter protector again after a
short-circuit, the signal switch must be reset manually after the error cause
has been eliminated.
The overall width of the signal switch is 18 mm.
Right-hand side
Notes:
• One auxiliary trip unit can be mounted per
motor starter protector/circuit breaker.
• Accessories cannot be mounted at the
right-hand side of the 3RV11 motor starter
protectors with overload relay function.
Auxiliary trip units
Shunt trip units For remote-controlled tripping of the motor starter protector/circuit breaker.
The trip unit coil should only be energized for short periods
(see schematics).
or
Undervoltage trip units Trips the motor starter protector when the voltage is interrupted and prevents
the motor from being restarted accidentally when the voltage is restored.
Used for remote-controlled tripping of the circuit breaker/motor starter
protector.
Particularly suitable for EMERGENCY-STOP disconnection by way of the cor-
responding EMERGENCY-STOP pushbutton according to EN 60204-1.
or
Undervoltage trip unit with
leading auxiliary contacts
(2 NO)
Function and use as for the undervoltage trip unit without leading auxiliary
contacts, but with the following additional function: the auxiliary contacts will
open in switch position OFF to deenergize the coil of the undervoltage trip
unit, thus interrupting energy consumption. In the "tripped" position, these
auxiliary contacts are not guaranteed to open. The leading contacts permit
the motor starter protector/circuit breaker to reclose.
The overall width of the auxiliary trip unit is 18 mm.
Top
Notes:
• The isolator module cannot be used for the
3RV17 and 3RV18 circuit breakers.
• The isolator module covers the terminal
screws of the transverse auxiliary switch. If
the isolator module is used, we therefore re-
commend that either the lateral auxiliary
switches be fitted or that the isolator modu-
le not be mounted until the auxiliary switch
has been wired.
Isolator modules for
sizes S0 and S2
Isolator modules can be mounted to the upper terminal end of motor starter
protectors of sizes S0 and S2.
The supply cable is connected to the motor starter protector through the iso-
lator module.
The plug can only be unplugged when the motor starter protector is open
and isolates all 3 poles of the motor starter protector from the network. The
shock-protected isolation point is clearly visible and secured with a padlock
to prevent reinsertion of the plug.

Overview
Door-coupling rotary operating mechanisms
Motor starter protectors with a rotary operating mechanism can
be mounted in a control cabinet and operated externally by me-
ans of a door-coupling rotary operating mechanism. When the
cabinet door with motor starter protector is closed, the operating
mechanism is coupled. When the motor starter protector closes,
the coupling is locked which prevents the door from being ope-
ned unintentionally. This interlock can be defeated by the main-
tenance personnel. In the Open position, the rotary operating
mechanism can be secured against reclosing with up to
3 padlocks. Inadvertent opening of the door is not possible in
this case either.

3RV29 26-2B door-coupling rotary operating mechanism for arduous
conditions
Remote motorized operating mechanisms
3RV1 motor starter protectors are manually operated controls.
They automatically trip in case of an overload or short-circuit. In-
tentional remote-controlled tripping is possible by means of a
shunt trip unit or an undervoltage trip unit. Reclosing is only pos-
sible directly at the motor starter protector.
The remote motorized operating mechanism allows the motor
starter protectors to be opened and closed by electrical com-
mands. This enables a load or an installation to be isolated from
the network or reconnected to it from an operator panel.
If the motor starter protector is tripped as a result of overload or
short-circuit, it will be in tripped position. For reclosing, the re-
mote motorized operating mechanism must first be set manually
or electrically to the 0 position (electrically by means of the Open
command). Then it can be reclosed.
The remote motorized operating mechanism is available for mo-
tor starter protectors of size S2 (Inmax= 50 A) and S3
(Inmax= 100 A) that are designed for control voltages of
230 V AC and 24 V DC. The motor starter protector is fitted into
the remote motorized operating mechanism as shown in the dra-
wing.
In the "MANUAL" position, the motor starter protector in the re-
mote motorized operating mechanism can continue to be swit-
ched manually on site. In the "AUTOMATIC" position, the motor
starter protector is switched by means of electrical commands.
The switching command must be applied for a minimum of
100 ms. The remote motorized operating mechanism closes the
motor starter protector after a maximum of 1 second. On voltage
failure during the switching operation it is ensured that the motor
starter protector remains in the OPEN or CLOSED position. In the
"MANUAL" and "OFF" position, the remote motorized operating
mechanism can be locked with a padlock.
RESET function
The RESET button on the motorized operating mechanism ser-
ves to reset any 3RV19 21-1M signal switch that might be
installed.

Overview
Solder pin connections
Solder pin terminals are available for the main contacts and
transverse auxiliary switches of size S00 motor starter
protectors.
The prepared terminal parts are clamped to the upper and lower
screw terminals of the motor starter protectors which allows
them to be soldered into printed circuit boards.
3RV19 18-5A
Terminals for "Self-Protected Combination Motor Control-
lers (Type E)" acc. to UL 508
The 3RV10 motor starter protectors size S0 and higher are ap-
proved according to UL 508 as "Self-Protected Combination Mo-
tor Controllers (Type E)".
This requires increased clearance and creepage distances
(1 inch and 2 inches respectively) at the input side of the device,
which are achieved by mounting terminal blocks.
• Size S0: The 3RV19 28-1H terminal block is simply screwed
onto the basic unit.
• Size S2: The basic unit is already compliant with the new clea-
rance and creepage distance requirements.
• Size S3: The standard box terminal must be replaced by the
3RT19 46-4GA07 terminal block.
3RV19 28-1H (left), 3RT19 46-4GA07 (right)
According to CSA, these terminal blocks can be omitted when
the device is used as a "Self-Protected Combination Motor
Controller" (Type E).
Three-phase feeder terminals are required for constructing
"Type E Starters" with an insulated busbar system (see "Busbar
Accessories").

Overview
3RV10 63-7AL10 molded case motor starter protector
The 3RV10 and 3RV13 molded case motor starter protectors for
up to 800 A are compact, current-limiting motor starter protec-
tors which can be used above all in load feeders for special vol-
tages of 440 V, 480 V, 550 V and 690 V. They are used for swit-
ching and protecting induction motors and other loads with
rated currents up to 800 A.
Type of construction
The molded case motor starter protectors are available
in 4 widths:
• 3RV13 53 – width 90 mm,
max. rated current 32 A,
at 400 V AC suitable for induction motors up to 22 kW.
• 3RV1. 6. – width 105 mm,
max. rated current 250 A,
at 400 V AC suitable for induction motors up to 110 kW.
• 3RV1. 7. – width 140 mm,
max. rated current 630 A,
at 400 V AC suitable for induction motors up to 200 kW.
• 3RV1. 83 – width 210 mm,
max. rated current 800 A,
at 400 V AC suitable for induction motors up to 355 kW.
The 3RV1 molded case motor starter protectors for up to 800 A
can be mounted in horizontal, vertical or lying arrangement di-
rectly on a mounting plate or mounting rail. Their rated data are
adversely affected as the result.
The phase barriers for better insulation between the phases are
included in the scope of supply.
The motor starter protectors can be supplied through top and
bottom terminals without impairing their function, enabling them
to be installed in any type of switchgear without any further
steps.

Function
Trip units
The 3RV1 molded case motor starter protectors for up to 800 A are available with four different trip units.
1) TU = Trip unit
3RV10 molded case motor starter protectors with trip unit TU 4
Trip classes
The trip classes of thermally delayed trip units are based on the
tripping time (tA) at 7.2 times the set current in cold state (ex-
cerpt from IEC 60947-4):
•CLASS5E: 3s<tp<5s
• CLASS 10: 5 s < tp<10s
• CLASS 20: 10 s < tp<20s
• CLASS 30: 20 s < tp<30s
The molded case motor starter protector must trip within this
time!
With the 3RV1 molded case motor starter protectors (100 A to
630 A) which are equipped with the TU 4 trip unit, all four trip
classes are possible.
Safe switch position
The toggle lever indicates tripping by adopting the "Tripped" po-
sition. To prevent switching onto an existing fault, the lever must
be moved by hand to the 0 position prior to switching on again.
Only then can the molded case motor starter protector be swit-
ched on again.

Configuration
The 3RV1 molded case motor starter protectors for up to 800 A
are optimally coordinated and tested for combinations with 3RT
contactors and, in starter combinations, with Sirius 3RU/3RB
overload relays and SIMOCODE 3UF7. Detailed assignment ta-
bles for the special voltages 440 V, 480 V, 550 V and 690 V are
included in the Configuration Manual „SIRIUS Configuration -
Selection data for Fuseless Load Feeders“,
Order No. 3ZX1012-0RA21-0AC0“
or as a PDF file on the Internet at
http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/40625241
Prevention of unintended tripping
In order to prevent unwanted tripping of the molded case motor
starter protectors, they should always be connected such that
current flows through all 3 main current paths.
Short-circuit protection
If a short-circuit occurs, the short-circuit releases of the 3RV1
molded case motor starter protectors isolate the faulty load fee-
der from the network and thus prevent further damage.
Motor starter protectors with a short-circuit breaking capacity of
50 kA or 100 kA are virtually short-circuit resistant at a voltage of
400 V AC, since higher short-circuit currents are not to be ex-
pected in practice.
Motor protection
The tripping characteristics of the 3RV10 molded case motor
starter protectors are designed mainly to protect induction
motors.
The motor starter protectors are therefore also referred to as
motor-protective circuit breakers.
Short-circuit protection for starter combinations
The 3RV13 molded case motor starter protectors for starter com-
binations provide short-circuit protection for combinations of a
contactor and overload relay.
• On overload, the overload relay triggers the contactor,
the motor starter protector remains closed.
• Only when a short-circuit occurs in the feeder does the motor
starter protector trip as well.
The molded case motor starter protectors for starter combina-
tions must always be used in combination with an overload relay
because the motor starter protector alone cannot protect the
motor and itself against overload.
Altitude
The molded case motor starter protectors can be used without
restriction at altitudes up to 2000 meters. At higher altitudes it is
important to take account of the amended characteristics of the
motor starter protector according to the following table.
Temperature characteristic
At higher temperatures it is necessary to take account of a re-
duction in the maximum permissible rated uninterrupted current
(derating).
The maximum rated operational currents for the different 3RV1
molded case motor starter protectors are listed in the following
table. These permissible loads apply for the molded case motor
starter protectors with standard terminals, with front-extended
terminals (see "Accessories") and with front-extended cable ter-
minals (see "Accessories").
If required, derating values for rear-accessible terminals (see
"Accessories")
can be obtained from "Technical Assistance":

Characteristic curves
Example characteristic of a 3RV10 molded case motor starter protector with electronic trip unit for motor protection (TU 4)
TU = trip unit
Protection from overload (L trip unit)
The L protection function protects the motor from overload and
is temperature-compensated according to IEC 60947-4-1 and
sensitive to phase failure and phase unbalance. With the DIP
switches on the trip unit the function can be set by hand to bet-
ween 0.4 and 1 times the rated current. The trip class can also
be set here.
The LED of the protective function L displays a pre-alarm
(0.9 x I1 < I < 1.2 x I1) with red steady light and an alarm
(I > 1.2 x I1 ) with red flashing LED.
Protection from short-circuits (I trip unit)
This function protects the motor from short-circuits. It always re-
sponds when a phase exceeds the set tripping value (6 to 12
times the rated current). Safe start-up is guaranteed.
Protection in the event of rotor blockage (R trip unit), can be
switched off
With this function the motor is protected in the event of rotor blo-
ckage during operation. During motor start-up, this function is
blocked for the time defined by the trip class. After an adjustable
time of 1s or 4s the R-release then trips upon 3, 6 or 9 times the
tripping current I1. (Time and current can be adjusted using se-
parate DIP switches).
Protection in the event of phase failure or phase unbalance
(U trip unit), can be switched off
This function protects the motor when it is important to check in
particular for phase failure and phase unbalance. The function
responds when the rms value of the current in one or two phases
remains 4 seconds long below the limit threshold of 0.4 times the
tripping current for the overload.
Time/current characteristic curves, current limiting characteristic
curves and I2t curves can be ordered from
