Undervoltage release (UVR) is included; auxiliary contacts are 2 NO/NC plus a separate trip-alarm switch (HQ). Panel-mount footprint: 140 mm wide, 158 mm tall, 70 mm deep. ## Current rating holds to 50 °C; derate above At 55 °C it drops to 243.3 A, at 60 °C to 236.5 A, at 65 °C to 229 A, and at 70 °C to 223 A. ## Panel fit and aux contact layout Mounts in a standard switchboard or enclosure cutout. The 140 mm width and 158 mm height match typical SENTRON 3VA frame spacing. Front face carries a trip indicator and is rated IP40 — suitable for indoor panel environments, not washdown zones.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1225-6EF42-0BH0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 4-Pole, Line","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1225-6EF42-0BH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated continuous current, 4-pole, line protection version, 220 kA at 240 V.
