This breaker's interrupting rating varies sharply with system voltage: 220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. For a 480 V panel (common in North America), the relevant figure is the 440 V rating at 75.6 kA — that's the closest standard voltage. At 690 V the 17 kA figure still covers most industrial fault duties, but verify your available fault current against that number. Front face carries IP40 protection — fine for a closed panel, not for washdown. The 4-pole format handles three-phase-plus-neutral or three-phase-plus-switched-neutral configurations.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1225-6GE42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 250A, 4-Pole, TM220","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1225-6GE42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A, 4-pole, TM220 release.
