SIRIUSCompetitor analysis

- Only GV2-P and GV7-R have a standard short-circuit interrupting capacityof > 50 kA (high price!!!)Sirius: As standard > 50 kA

- The color demarcation for main and control circuit is not standard (GV2-P!!!)Sirius: All devices have a standard design

- For GV3, it is extremely complex to mount the auxiliary release and signaling contact (the breaker cap must be removed!!!)
