The breaking capacity is what decides the fit: 121 kA at 240 V AC, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, 17 kA at 500 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V. Thermal derating kicks in above 50 °C: 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. It does not have an undervoltage release, ground-fault monitoring, or communication function — it is a straightforward line-protection device for distribution panels.
The 3VA1225-4EF42-0JC0 measures 70 mm deep, 140 mm wide, and 158 mm high. The 4-pole footprint and 250 A frame size mean it occupies a standard slot in a SENTRON distribution board; verify gland-plate cutout and phase-separation clearances per the manufacturer's mounting instructions.
