Product details

The Siemens 3VA1225-5EF42-0CC0 is a SENTRON molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 250 A continuous current across a 40 °C to 50 °C ambient range, with a TM240 thermal-magnetic release and an undervoltage release (UVR) integrated. It's a 4-pole unit configured for line protection — meaning it sits on the incoming feeder, not on a motor branch or a downstream subfeed. The 250 A rating holds flat through 50 °C — no derating needed in a typical 40 °C panel ambient — then drops to 243.3 A at 55 °C and 223 A at 70 °C.

The integrated auxiliary contacts (2 auxiliary switches HQ) and the undervoltage release are wired separately — the UVR coil needs its own control voltage to keep the breaker closed. If the control voltage drops, the breaker trips. That's a common scheme for emergency-stop circuits or undervoltage protection on a feeder.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1225-5EF42-0CC0 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.

Does 3VA1225-5EF42-0CC0 have an undervoltage release?

Yes, it includes an integrated undervoltage release (UVR) that trips the breaker when control voltage drops below the dropout threshold.
