Product details

It carries a rated insulation voltage of 800 V, with interrupting ratings that step down from 187 kA at 240 V to 17 kA at 690 V — meaning it can clear high fault currents at lower voltages while still handling substantial faults at 690 V.

Above that, it derates linearly: 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 57 W at rated current.

The interrupting ratings span the common industrial voltage bands: 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. For a 480 V panel, the 75.6 kA at 440 V figure is the closest reference — expect the actual 480 V rating to fall between the 440 V and 500 V values. This gives headroom for most North American and European distribution systems without needing a current-limiting upstream breaker.

The 4-pole width of 140 mm (about 5.5 inches) is standard for this frame size — it occupies four 35 mm DIN spaces if using a DIN-rail adapter, or bolts directly into the panel backplate.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1225-5FF42-0JH0?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What are the interrupting ratings for 3VA1225-5FF42-0JH0 at different voltages?

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.

What is the depth of 3VA1225-5FF42-0JH0?

70 mm.

Will 3VA1225-5FF42-0JH0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2225-5HN42-0BB0?

The 3VA1225-5FF42-0JH0 is a 4-pole 125 A line-protection breaker with shunt trip and auxiliary switches, while the 3VA2225-5HN42-0BB0 is a different frame variant. Panel fit depends on the specific mounting provisions and bus connections — verify the physical dimensions and terminal arrangements before substituting.
