Product details

It carries an interrupting capacity of 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, 17 kA at 500 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V — so the available fault current at the panel bus determines which voltage column governs the install. The 250 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C; if the enclosure ambient runs above 50 °C, the continuous load must be trimmed accordingly.

The breaker measures 70 mm deep, 140 mm wide, and 158 mm high — a 4-pole frame that occupies roughly the same footprint as other SENTRON 3VA fixed-thermal units.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1225-4GF42-0BC0 and how is it quoted?

This 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.

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA1225-4GF42-0BC0 at 480 V?

The interrupting capacity is 75.6 kA at 415 V and 52.5 kA at 440 V; at 480 V the value falls between those two published points. For a 480 V panel, the 52.5 kA at 440 V is the conservative reference.

Does 3VA1225-4GF42-0BC0 include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it ships with an undervoltage release (UVR) and two HQ auxiliary switches as standard equipment.

What is the thermal derating for 3VA1225-4GF42-0BC0 above 50 °C?

The 250 A rating holds to 50 °C, then derates to 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C.
