Product details

Four poles, TM240 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release, and an integrated undervoltage release — this is the variant you spec when the panel needs UVR trip on loss of control voltage and the load is a feeder or distribution bus, not a single motor.

The interrupting ratings climb with the voltage drop: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. The 690 V rating at 17 kA still covers most industrial distribution boards.

Above 55 °C it steps down: 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, 223 A at 70 °C. The maximum power loss is 59.5 W, so panel ventilation matters if you're stacking breakers in a sealed enclosure.

Dimensions: 70 mm depth, 140 mm width, 158 mm height. Four-pole frame, so it occupies the full width of a standard MCCB mounting footprint. The 3VA series uses the same panel cutout and bus-bar spacing as earlier SENTRON frames, so it drops into an existing 3VA panel without re-drilling.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1225-5FF42-0BA0 and get a price?

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 price and lead time.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1225-5FF42-0BA0 at 240 V?

The interrupting rating is 187 kA at 240 V, which allows it to clear high-fault-current faults on a transformer secondary or main bus without cascading upstream.

Does 3VA1225-5FF42-0BA0 include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it is equipped with an undervoltage release (UVR) as standard — the auxiliary release design is listed as undervoltage release (UVR).

What is the thermal derating for 3VA1225-5FF42-0BA0 above 50 °C?

The breaker carries 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. For panel sizing, account for the 59.5 W maximum power loss.
