Product details

The 250 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C, then derates to 243 A at 55 °C and 223 A at 70 °C (–), which matters if your panel runs hot or is in a non-climate-controlled enclosure. The TM240 thermal-magnetic release means the thermal trip follows a 240 A frame curve; the magnetic instantaneous pickup is fixed, not adjustable.

Interrupting capacity — the number that decides selectivity

This breaker's interrupting capacity changes significantly with system voltage. At 240 V it's rated 121 kA; at 415 V it drops to 75.6 kA; at 440 V to 52.5 kA; at 500 V to 17 kA; and at 690 V to 11.9 kA. For a 480 V panel (common in North America), interpolating between 440 V and 500 V gives roughly 35–40 kA available — adequate for most industrial services, but if your transformer feeds a high-fault bus (say 65 kA at 480 V), you'll need to step up to the 3VA2 high-capacity frame or add a current-limiting fuse ahead.

Integration — panel fit and wiring

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 158 mm high, 70 mm deep. The auxiliary switch configuration is listed as 2 auxiliary switches HQ, which provides two form-C contacts for remote status indication (open/closed/tripped). No trip indicator and no voltage trigger — if you need a shunt trip or undervoltage release, this variant doesn't carry them; order the appropriate -0AA0 or -0AB0 suffix.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1225-4EF32-0AC0 at 415 V?

At 415 V AC the interrupting capacity is 75.6 kA. At 240 V it is 121 kA, and at 690 V it drops to 11.9 kA.

What is the thermal rating at 60 °C for this MCCB?

At 60 °C ambient the continuous current rating derates to 237 A, down from 250 A at 40–50 °C.

Can 3VA1225-4EF32-0AC0 be used as a direct replacement for 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0?

No — the 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 is a 100 A frame (based on the 1110 series designation) while this 3VA1225 is a 250 A frame. The 105 mm width is the same 3-pole footprint, but the 3VA1110 has lower interrupting ratings and different release settings. They are not drop-in substitutes without recalculating the protection coordination.

Where can I buy 3VA1225-4EF32-0AC0 and how is it quoted?

This breaker is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or lead-time figure is published here.
