Unit Overall Dimensions (Ancho × Alto × Fondo)

Ancho W: 55 milímetros (55mm cabinet space per unit)

Altura H: 140 milímetros

Profundidad D: 149 milímetros (from rail mounting surface to front of operating handle)

Método de montaje

Carril: DIN 35mm standard rail (TU ÚNICO 60715), montaje con clip; optional screw locking

Orientación de montaje: any orientation (vertical, horizontal installation allowed)

Cabinet Clearances (Disipación de calor / Electrical clearance)

Side-by-side mounting: 0mm gap allowed for adjacent units

Vertical clearance top & abajo: ≥50mm at upper/lower terminal zones

Clearance to earthed cabinet metalwork: ≥10mm lateral clearance

Cabinet cutout (if door extension handle is used)

The 3RV2 unit is DIN-rail mounted inside the cabinet. If an extended door operating handle (se vende por separado) se requiere:

Cutout width: aprox. 48milímetros, cutout height: aprox. 130milímetros

Nota: No cabinet cutout required without extension handle; unit is fully installed inside enclosure on DIN rail.

Notas complementarias

With 3RV2901 side-mounted auxiliary contact: overall width unchanged, slight increase in depth

When back-to-back assembled with 3RT contactor as starter: total depth equals sum of both components

Siemens 3RV2031-4KA10 Weight

✅ Net weight (unit only, no packaging): 1.17 kilos (manufacturer nominal 1.172 kilos; use 1.17kg on engineering drawings)

All S2 frame 3RV2031 models have similar weight, range 1.07~1.18 kg. Variations come from internal trip components; standard value for 3RV2031-4KA10 is 1.17 kilos.

Notas complementarias

1. Sin accesorios: No 3RV2901 auxiliary contacts, door extension handles or other attachments. Weight increases slightly when accessories are fitted.
2. Gross weight with factory carton: aprox. 1.30 kilos (for logistics estimation)
3. Unit conversion: 1.17 kg ≈ 2.58 libras

5. Risks for Replacement Selection (Critical for Engineering)
6. Different instantaneous short-circuit trip (N factor): 3RV2031-4KA10 fixed at 949A. Schneider GV3 and ABB MS165 have different electromagnetic trip thresholds. Short-circuit protection coordination changes. Direct replacement may cause loss of selectivity.
7. Capacidad de rotura máxima Icu: 3RV2 is 65kA@400V. Domestic models generally have lower Icu and shall NOT be used for circuits with high prospective short-circuit current.
8. Enclavamiento mecánico & contactor assembly: 3RV2 can directly snap onto 3RT contactor to form starter. Cross-brand devices cannot mechanically clip together, separate mounting brackets required.
9. Auxiliary contact accessory systems are incompatible; mounting depth, terminal torque and maximum cable cross-section differ.
10. UL/CE certification: No arbitrary brand replacement for export machines.
11. Recommended Selection Rules

Cabinet retrofit, modificación mínima: Siemens 3RV5031-4KA10 (domestic same-brand replacement)

Import brand substitution: Schneider GV3ME80 / ABB MS165-73, short-circuit protection coordination recheck required

Non-critical domestic circuit cost saving: Chint NS2-80 / Delixi CDV6-80
