Product details

What this breaker delivers

Interrupting capacity runs 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 25 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V — the 240 V figure covers most North American panelboard fault-current scenarios, while the 415 V rating suits European 400 V distribution. Thermal derating is published per degree from 45 °C (250 A) through 70 °C (223 A); at 55 °C the continuous rating drops to 243.3 A, and at 60 °C to 236.5 A. Plan your load margin against the actual enclosure ambient, not the 40 °C reference. The N-conductor protection is rated at 100 %.

Dimensions are 158 mm high × 140 mm wide × 70 mm deep — the 140 mm width is the 4-pole footprint; a panel cut out for a 3-pole 3VA frame leaves roughly 35 mm short per pole. Verify the gland-plate knockout pattern before drilling. The front-face trip indicator is present, so fault isolation doesn't require pulling the cover.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1225-4GF42-0AH0 at 415 V?

The interrupting capacity is 75.6 kA at 415 V, with higher ratings at lower voltages (121 kA at 240 V) and lower ratings at higher voltages (25 kA at 440 V, 11.9 kA at 690 V).
