Product details

Line Protection MCCB with 187 kA Interrupting Capacity

The line protection variant omits ground-fault sensing and communication, keeping it a straightforward, non-communicating breaker for standard overcurrent protection duty.

Thermal Derating and Operating Envelope

Above that, derating begins: 243.3 A at 55 °C, 236.5 A at 60 °C, 229 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C (–).

Integrated Undervoltage Release and Auxiliary Switching

The trip indicator gives local visual confirmation of a fault trip.

The 3-pole form factor fits standard SENTRON mounting bases; the 70 mm depth leaves clearance in shallow enclosures. Latching endurance is rated at 15,000 operations, which covers frequent switching in process control or machine-tool applications without early mechanical wear.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for 3VA1225-5EF32-0CH0?

Rated continuous current Iu is 250 A with a TM240 thermal-magnetic release. Interrupting capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 36 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V (–). Rated insulation voltage Ui is 800 V.

Does 3VA1225-5EF32-0CH0 include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it ships with a factory-installed undervoltage release (UVR). The auxiliary contact configuration is 2 auxiliary switches plus 1 trip alarm switch HQ.

What is the closest functional second-source for 3VA1225-5EF32-0CH0?

The 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a peer within the same SENTRON 3VA family, but it carries a lower current rating and different breaking capacities. Drop-in compatibility depends on the specific panel layout and required interrupting rating — verify the frame size and mounting footprint against your existing cutout before substituting.

Where can I buy 3VA1225-5EF32-0CH0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commercial offer.
