Siemens 3RV10114AA100AA4 Circuit Breaker
MPN and Family Context
The MPN prefix 3RV1011 places this device in Siemens' S00 frame size 3RV motor starter protector series. The 4AA10 variant in the full MPN encodes the 16 A thermal magnetic trip class and standard rocker actuator configuration. The Siemens 3RV1011 family covers motor branch protection in IEC control panels, typically deployed with contactors in motor feeder modules or as group protection upstream of multiple loads sharing a common feeder.

Engineering Verification Checklist
- Confirm 16 A thermal magnetic trip setting matches protected load full-load current
- Verify ATEX, UL, or VDE certification scope covers the intended hazardous or industrial installation
- Check that 3-pole configuration matches feeder bus or motor terminal arrangement
- Confirm DIN rail enclosure profile and clearance for S00 frame dimensions
- Verify rocker actuator orientation aligns with operator access requirements in panel layout
- Confirm coordination with downstream contactor or overland relay in branch protection scheme
- Validate that box packaging variant matches desired factory-sealed or field-installed requirement
- Review EAC marking applicability for target geographic installation region
- Verify no auxiliary contact or shunt trip module is required for this feeder application

Why they are similar
- All share the 3RV1011 S00 frame, rocker actuator, 3-pole thermal magnetic construction, and DIN rail mounting.
- 3RV1011-0EA10 and 3RV1011-0GA10 carry broader approval coverage (adds CCC, CSA, IECEx) compared to the primary's CE/ATEX/UL/VDE listing; they serve lower-current branch or group protection roles.
- 3RV1011-1AA15 sits at the lower end of the motor protection band (1.1–1.6 A trip range) with added auxiliary contact option indicated by the "15" suffix variant, differing from the primary's 16 A standard configuration.
FAQ
What does the "4AA10" portion of 3RV10114AA100AA4 indicate? The Siemens ordering code segment 4AA10 encodes the 16 A thermal magnetic trip class and standard rocker actuator without auxiliary elements. This follows the standard 3RV1011 family ordering conventions for S00 frame motor starter protectors.
Is 3RV10114AA100AA4 suitable for motor feeder protection? The 16 A thermal magnetic rating and 3-pole configuration are consistent with motor branch protection in the S00 frame size. The reader's own coordination study should confirm the 16 A setting suits the specific motor full-load current and applicable motor protection coordination type (Type 1 or Type 2 per IEC 60947-4-1).
Do the listed alternates require separate qualification? Yes. Catalog entries with the 3RV1011 prefix share series design, frame size, and construction but differ in current rating, approval scope, and auxiliary features. Each alternate listed requires the reader's own engineering qualification before substitution.
