Product details

It's the kind of breaker you spec into a panel when you need one device to handle both the load current and a hard fault without welding its contacts shut.

Interrupting capacity — what those voltage columns mean

At 240 V it's rated for 121 kA — enough for a high-capacity transformer secondary. At 415 V it handles 75.6 kA, at 440 V it's 52.5 kA, at 500 V it drops to 17 kA, and at 690 V it's 11.9 kA. Match the voltage you actually run, not the highest number on the nameplate.

Thermal derating — the current it carries when the panel gets hot

Above that it starts to derate: 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C.

Shunt trip release — what it adds to the breaker

That means you can trip the breaker remotely by applying a control voltage to the shunt trip coil — useful for emergency-stop circuits, undervoltage protection, or a PLC-driven shutdown. No undervoltage release is fitted from the factory, so if you need UVR you'll add it in the field or order a different variant.

Physical fit — panel and enclosure dimensions

Width 105 mm, height 158 mm, depth 70 mm. Maximum power loss is 57 W.

Frequently asked questions

What does the shunt trip release do on this breaker?

The shunt trip (STL) lets you trip the breaker remotely by applying a control voltage to its coil — used for emergency-stop circuits or PLC-driven shutdowns. Two auxiliary switches provide status feedback.

What is the depth of 3VA1225-4EF32-0KB0?

The depth is 70 mm (2.76 inches). That's the dimension from the mounting surface to the front of the breaker body.
