Product details

Four poles handle three-phase plus neutral or a second parallel path. The breaking capacity is the headline number that decides whether this breaker clears a fault without welding or exploding: 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 25 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V. At 55 °C it drops to 243.3 A, at 60 °C to 236.5 A, at 65 °C to 229 A, and at 70 °C to 223 A.

The auxiliary contact version is 2 auxiliary switches HQ (high-qualified), which gives you two form-C contacts for status feedback to the PLC or annunciator panel. A shunt trip (STL) is integrated, order code 3VA9688-0BL30 for the release coil itself — that's the part that lets an emergency-stop or remote trip signal open the breaker without a handle pull.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1225-4EF42-0HC0 at different voltages?

Breaking capacity is 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 25 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V. The 121 kA figure covers high-fault utility feeds; the 690 V rating is lower, so verify prospective fault current on 690 V systems.

What are the physical dimensions of this MCCB?

The breaker is 140 mm wide, 158 mm high, and 70 mm deep. The 70 mm depth fits standard 200 mm deep enclosures with rear cabling clearance.

Does 3VA1225-4EF42-0HC0 include a shunt trip?

Yes, it has an integrated shunt trip (STL) design. The auxiliary release order code for the coil is 3VA9688-0BL30.

Where can I buy 3VA1225-4EF42-0HC0 and how is it quoted?

The part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.
