SENTRON 3VA1025-2ED32-0JH0 — integrator's terse spec recap
Breaking capacity is rated per voltage: 52.5 kA at 240 V, 32 kA at 415 V, 13.6 kA at 440 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V. That 52.5 kA at 240 V is high for a 25 A frame — it handles heavy fault current on a 240 V secondary without upstream coordination headaches. This is the workhorse choice for standard motor branch circuits and distribution panels where you don't need the selectivity tuning of an electronic ETU. The 3-pole unit is 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall, and 70 mm deep — fits a standard MCCB slot in most Siemens panelboards.
Auxiliary and trip configuration — what ships on this variant
The integrated shunt trip part number is 3VA9688-0BL32 — useful for spares ordering. If you need undervoltage release or Modbus, this is not the right variant; look at the 3VA2 family with electronic releases. Mechanical endurance is 15,000 operations (latching type).
No official successor exists because the part is current. If you need a functional cross-reference within the same SENTRON 3VA family, the closest peers are 3VA1010-2ED42-0AE0 (10 A frame, different trip and aux config) and 3VA1020-3ED36-0AA0 (20 A, 3-pole, different release) — but the 3VA1025-2ED32-0JH0 is the 25 A variant with the specific shunt trip and HQ aux switch combination. Panel footprint is the same 3-pole 70 mm depth across the 3VA1/2 series, so a drop-in replacement for a panel originally specced around a 3VA1010-2ED42-0AE0 would only work if the amp rating matches the load — you cannot simply swap a 10 A for a 25 A without checking the branch circuit protection.
Panel integration — what to know before the wire hits the lug
The TM210 release is non-interchangeable — the trip unit is integral to the breaker. If you need field-adjustable thermal or magnetic settings, you are looking at the 3VA2 electronic-trip family. For a fixed 25 A branch circuit with shunt trip and remote status (2 aux + 1 alarm), this variant is the correct pick.
