Product details

The 121 kA breaking capacity at 240 V and 75.6 kA at 415 V tell you it can interrupt high fault currents without upstream fuses, which simplifies coordination in a panel. The 70 mm depth and 140 mm width are standard for this frame size — it bolts into a SENTRON 3VA switchboard or a standalone enclosure without a footprint surprise.

At 55 °C it drops to 243 A, at 60 °C to 237 A, at 65 °C to 230 A, and at 70 °C to 223 A. The 57 W maximum power loss is the heat it dumps into the enclosure; that matters for thermal rise calculations in a sealed cabinet.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1225-4GF42-0AG0 at 415 V?

75.6 kA at 415 V, which is the common rating for 400 V industrial systems. At 240 V it is 121 kA, at 440 V it is 52.5 kA, at 500 V it is 17 kA, and at 690 V it is 11.9 kA.

Where can I buy 3VA1225-4GF42-0AG0?

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

What is the rated current of 3VA1225-4GF42-0AG0?

250 A continuous, with no derating required up to 50 °C ambient. Above that, derate per the thermal curve: 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, 223 A at 70 °C.
