Product details

It carries a fixed 250 A rating across all four poles, so there's no adjustment range; what you order is what you get for the continuous current. Breaking capacity is the headline here: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. Thermal derating is published across the full operating range: full 250 A up to 50 °C, then 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. Rated insulation voltage is 800 V, and the operating temperature range is -25 °C to 70 °C, with storage from -40 °C to 80 °C.

Physical fit and integration

Dimensions: 70 mm deep, 140 mm wide, 158 mm tall. Width of 140 mm for a 4-pole unit is typical for the frame size; check your DIN-rail or mounting-plate spacing before committing the panel layout. That means you get two form-C aux contacts for status feedback plus a dedicated trip alarm contact — enough for a basic motor control center or transfer scheme without adding an external accessory module. Maximum power loss is 59.5 W at rated current.

Lifecycle stage is current — Siemens actively manufactures and supports this order code. No phase-out notice or last-time-buy window is indicated.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1225-5GF42-0BH0 and how do I get a price?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request for quote (RFQ) to confirm current availability and pricing — no stock count or lead-time figure is carried on this page.

What is 3VA1225-5GF42-0BH0's listed depth (70 mm) on this component line?

The listed depth is 70 mm (2.76 in). That's the front-to-back dimension of the breaker body, not including any protruding handle or accessory cover.

Will 3VA1225-5GF42-0BH0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 without rewiring?

No — the 3VA1225-5GF42-0BH0 is a 250 A, 4-pole MCCB, while the 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 is a different frame size and rating. The physical dimensions (70 mm deep, 140 mm wide, 158 mm tall) and terminal layout differ; a panel designed for the smaller breaker would require re-termination and possibly a larger enclosure to accommodate the 250 A conductor size and heat dissipation.
