Product details

This is the fixed-thermal, fixed-magnetic variant, sized for straightforward feeder or main-switch duty where adjustable trip curves aren't required.

Rated breaking capacity hits 220 kA at 240 V, dropping to 154 kA at 415 V, 36 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. At 415 V — the common industrial distribution voltage — 154 kA gives substantial SCCR headroom for high-fault panels. That level supports full selectivity with downstream 50 kA or 65 kA MCCBs without forcing a series-rated compromise; the upstream breaker clears before the downstream device reaches its limit. The 690 V figure (17 kA) matters for 600 V class installations in North American or marine plants.

Above that, derating begins: 243.3 A at 55 °C, 236.5 A at 60 °C, 229 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. The thermal-magnetic release (TM240) is calibrated at 40 °C; the thermal element tracks ambient, so in a hot panel the breaker trips earlier on overload, which is the intended behavior.

Dimensions: 158 mm height, 140 mm width, 70 mm depth. Four-pole frame, so width is the critical slot dimension — 140 mm matches the standard 4-pole MCCB cutout in most Siemens SENTRON and ALPHA distribution panels.

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies 3VA1225-6GF42-0AJ0 and how is it quoted for volume purchases?

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 volume pricing and lead time.

Will 3VA1225-6GF42-0AJ0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 without rewiring?

No — the 3VA1225-6GF42-0AJ0 is a 250 A, 4-pole frame with a 140 mm width, while the 3VA1010-2ED32-0JA0 is a smaller 100 A, 3-pole frame. The cutout, bus spacing, and lug sizes differ; a panel designed for the 100 A breaker cannot accept the 250 A unit without mechanical and electrical rework.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1225-6GF42-0AJ0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs carry CE marking for the European market and are designed to IEC 60947-2. UL and CSA listings vary by specific order code variant; the 3VA1225-6GF42-0AJ0 is listed with IP40 front protection. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens' documentation portal.
