Product details

What this 250 A MCCB carries — and where the rating matters

Breaking capacity is 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 25 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V — so the available fault current at the panelboard determines which voltage column governs the install.

Above that, derating is linear: 243.3 A at 55 °C, 236.5 A at 60 °C, 229 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C.

The UVR coil drops the breaker on loss of control voltage — standard for emergency-stop or undervoltage protection schemes.

Dimensions: 158 mm height, 140 mm width, 70 mm depth. The 4-pole footprint matches standard SENTRON 3VA frame spacing; verify busbar or lug kit compatibility with the existing distribution board.

N-conductor protection and mechanical endurance

N-conductor protection is rated at 100% — full-rated neutral pole, not reduced. Mechanical endurance is 15 000 operations, which suits frequent switching applications like capacitor bank or lighting control, not just infrequent fault protection.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1225-4GF42-0DH0 and what is the lead time?

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 lead-time figure is published here.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1225-4GF42-0DH0 at different voltages?

Breaking capacity is 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 25 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V. The applicable rating depends on the system voltage where the breaker is installed.

What auxiliary contacts does 3VA1225-4GF42-0DH0 include?

It comes with 2 auxiliary switches plus 1 trip alarm switch (HQ configuration), plus an undervoltage release (UVR). The integrated auxiliary trip order code is 3VA9608-0BB25.
