Product details

At 240 V it interrupts 121 kA; at 415 V that drops to 75.6 kA, and at 690 V it still clears 11.9 kA — so this breaker is sized for high-fault industrial distribution, not light commercial subfeeds. It's a 3-pole unit, line protection version (no voltage trigger, no ground-fault monitoring), with an undervoltage release built in and a 2-auxiliary-switch-plus-1-trip-alarm contact block onboard.

Thermal derating — the real-world current

At 55 °C it starts to taper: 243.3 A. By 70 °C you're down to 223 A.

Footprint and integration

The can measures 105 mm wide by 158 mm tall by 70 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for a 250 A frame. Bolts onto a mounting plate or into a fixed chassis; no DIN-rail clip on this frame class. The undervoltage release coil draws its signal from a separate control circuit, so plan for an extra pair of wires back to the control transformer or UPS.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at 415 V?

75.6 kA at 415 V AC, per the spec table.

Where can I buy 3VA1225-4EF32-0CH0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What does the TM240 release mean?

TM240 is a thermal-magnetic release rated for 250 A continuous; the '240' refers to the frame size / trip unit rating, not the amp setting. It provides inverse-time overload protection plus instantaneous magnetic short-circuit protection.
