Full Accessory List for 지멘스 3RV1 (Legacy SIRIUS Motor Protection CB)

Compatible bodies: 3RV10 / 3RV11 / 3RV13 / 3RV14 / 3RV16; frame S00, S0, S2, S3; entire series obsolete. Accessories fit only 3RV1 bodies and cannot be installed on 3RV2

Terminal distinction: -1xxx = screw terminals; -2xxx = spring-cage terminals

1. 보조 연락처 (Status feedback, reflects CB ON/OFF position)

한정: Maximum one lateral auxiliary contact per 3RV1 breaker; 전면 장착 + lateral can be used together.

2. Fault Signal Switch (Trip signal, distinguishes overload / 단락, not equal to standard auxiliary contact)

3. 저전압 해제 (UVT, trip on loss of supply)

4. 션트 릴리스 (SHT, 원격 트리핑)

Release rule: Undervoltage release and shunt release are mutually exclusive, cannot be fitted on the same breaker.

5. Door-coupled Rotary Operating Mechanism (External cabinet operation, IP65, 자물쇠로 잠글 수 있는)

기능: Cabinet door cannot be opened when CB is closed; lockable in OFF position to prevent accidental closing.

6. Busbar Modules (Main circuit interconnection for side-by-side mounting)

S00 / S0 Frame

S2 Frame

7. Contactor Link Module (Direct assembly for 3RV1+3RT1 starter group, no extra busbar)

8. 물개, 커버 & Other Mechanical Accessories

Cross Reference for Migration to 3RV2 Platform

주요 선택 참고 사항

1. 표준 보조 접점 (3RV1901): Only indicate handle position, cannot distinguish fault trip. Fault alarm requires 3RV1921-1M.
2. 저전압 릴리스: The breaker must be closed before supply is restored; it trips automatically when supply fails. 션트 릴리스: Trips when energised.
3. Busbars have two versions: standard and accessory-space type. If auxiliary contacts are fitted on the side, select suffix 3AB/3BB/3CB.
4. Only stock items are available for purchase; manufacturer no longer accepts new production orders.

Operating Principle of 3RV1901-1A (Mechanically Synchronised Position Auxiliary Switch)

Core summary: Pure mechanical linkage, contact state follows the mechanical position of the 3RV1 handle synchronously. It only reflects ON / OFF status and cannot detect overload or short-circuit faults.

It is a passive snap-on auxiliary contact module clipped to the side of the 3RV1 motor protection circuit breaker. No electromagnetic components or trip detection mechanism inside.

1. Mechanical Linkage Structure

The operating mechanism of the breaker handle and main contacts has a drive cam. Once 3RV1901-1A is fully engaged, its internal lever bears against this cam:

Handle movement → cam displacement → actuates internal rocker mechanism of auxiliary contact

Internal double-break silver bridge contact, 전환 접점 1개 (콜로라도:1아니요+1NC) with snap-action spring to ensure clean switching without chatter.

작동 상태

1. Circuit Breaker ON

Handle switched to ON position, cam fully advanced: NO closed, NC open

→ ON signal to PLC, run indicator lamp energised

2. Circuit Breaker OFF (Manual opening)

Handle switched to OFF position, cam retracts: NO open, NC closed

→ Stop status feedback

3. Circuit Breaker Tripped by Overload / Short-Circuit

⚠️ 중요: 넘어진 후, the handle rests in the intermediate trip position. The handle mechanism also drives the cam, so 3RV1901-1A switches to OFF state (NO open, NC closed).

✅ Limitation: This contact alone cannot tell whether opening is manual or fault-induced.

👉 Separate fault alarm requires 3RV1921-1M (fault signal switch). It has an independent trip plunger and only switches state on overload/short-circuit trip; no action on manual ON/OFF.

2. 전기적 특성

패시브 건식 접촉, no internal power supply; it is simply a mechanical switch to route low-current signals for PLC digital inputs, lamps and interlock circuits.

Utilisation category AC-12: 6에이 / 240뷔와. Designed exclusively for control signal circuits, not permitted for main power circuits.

Contact timing: Switches nearly synchronously with the main breaker contacts, no advance or delayed action (slightly different from contactor auxiliary contacts).

3. Comparison with 3RV1921-1M (Common Pitfall in Selection)

4. Installation Constraints & 추가 참고사항

Lateral mounting. Maximum one lateral auxiliary contact (3RV1901-1A) per 3RV1 breaker; one front auxiliary contact (3RV1901-1E) may be added together.

Poor snap fit causes the internal lever to lose engagement with the cam: handle moves but auxiliary contact does not toggle (most frequent site fault).

Insulated housing separates high-voltage main circuit from signal contacts, meeting low-voltage isolation requirements.

Common Site Misconception

❌ 오해: 3RV1901-1A is a fault contact and triggers alarm when tripped

✅ Correction: It is only a position contact. An open signal from this contact to PLC merely means the breaker is not closed. Combine it with 3RV1921-1M using AND/OR logic to discriminate fault trip.
