Product details

This MCCB delivers 187 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V AC, dropping to 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. These are high-interrupting ratings for a 125 A frame — useful where fault current is high (close to a transformer) and you need selectivity without stepping up to a larger breaker. The 690 V figure (17 kA) is the weakest point: if your system runs at 690 V and available fault current exceeds that, this breaker won't hold. Check the point-of-common-coupling SCCR before specifying.

Thermal derating

Rated 250 A at 40, 45, and 50 °C ambient — that's the continuous current the breaker's thermal-magnetic trip can carry without nuisance tripping. At 55 °C it derates to 243 A, at 60 °C to 237 A, at 65 °C to 230 A, and at 70 °C to 223 A.

The UVR means the breaker drops out if control voltage is lost — typical for emergency-stop or undervoltage protection schemes.

Dimensions: 70 mm deep, 140 mm wide, 158 mm high. The 140 mm width is the key fit dimension: if your panel was laid out for a narrower 3-pole breaker, this 4-pole won't fit without a wider slot. The trip indicator (mechanical flag) is visible through the front cover, so you can see a trip at a glance without opening the door.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1225-5FF42-0BH0 at 415 V?

The breaking capacity is 121 kA at 415 V AC. At 240 V it is 187 kA, at 440 V it is 75.6 kA, at 500 V it is 30 kA, and at 690 V it is 17 kA.

Does this MCCB include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it is factory-fitted with an undervoltage release (UVR), plus two auxiliary switches and one trip alarm switch (HQ).
