Product details

What this 250 A MCCB does on the line

Breaking capacity is 121 kA at 240 V, dropping to 75.6 kA at 415 V and 52.5 kA at 440 V, so it can interrupt high fault currents on the secondary side of a step-down transformer or at a main distribution board. An undervoltage release (UVR) is built in — if the supply voltage drops below the release threshold, the breaker trips. That's useful for motor circuits where you want the breaker to drop out on a brownout rather than let the motor stall and draw locked-rotor current. The UVR is factory-fitted; no separate module to wire in.

At 40 °C the breaker carries its full 250 A. It holds 250 A up 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. The 59.5 W maximum power loss also adds heat inside the enclosure; factor it into the thermal budget. Dimensions are 140 mm wide, 158 mm high, 70 mm deep. The 4-pole width is wider than a 3-pole unit; check the enclosure gland plate and busbar spacing before committing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1225-4GF42-0DA0 at different voltages?

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. The high 240 V figure suits it for North American 240/120 V split-phase or 480Y/277 V wye secondaries where the available fault current is high.

Does 3VA1225-4GF42-0DA0 include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it comes with a factory-fitted undervoltage release (UVR). If the supply voltage drops below the release threshold, the breaker trips automatically — useful for motor protection or process interlock circuits.

What is the thermal derating curve for 3VA1225-4GF42-0DA0?

Rated 250 A from 40 °C to 50 °C. Derates to 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. The operating temperature range is -25 °C to +70 °C.

Where can I buy 3VA1225-4GF42-0DA0 and how is it quoted?

Sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time, not a stock promise. Volume and blanket orders handled the same way.
