The 3VA1225-4GF42-0KH0: The 250 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C — no derating needed in a typical 40 °C panel ambient. At 55 °C it drops to 243 A, at 60 °C to 237 A, and at 70 °C to 223 A. The 121 kA interrupting rating at 240 V is the headline number, but the real-world SCCR for a 480 V panel is 75.6 kA at 415 V, and at 690 V it's 11.9 kA.
Auxiliaries and integration
The shunt trip lets a safety PLC or E-stop circuit kill power remotely — useful for emergency-off chains or interlocked machine feeds. The supplied basic switch is order code 3VA12254GF420AA0, which is the internal switching mechanism.
