Product details

The undervoltage release (UVR) is built in — part 3VA9608-0BB11 for the auxiliary trip — and the auxiliary contact block ships with 2 HQ-form switches. This is the breaker you specify when the panel needs a coordinated 250 A feed with a UVR for safety isolation and the interrupting rating has to cover high-fault utility feeds.

Breaking capacity — the number that decides the fit

This breaker's interrupting rating changes sharply with system voltage. At 240 V it clears 220 kA — that is utility-transformer-level fault current, enough for service-entrance or large sub-feed applications. At 415 V the rating drops to 154 kA, still well above typical industrial secondary-side fault levels. The so-what: if your panel is on a 480 V or 400 V system, the 36 kA or 154 kA figure governs the SCCR coordination study, not the headline 220 kA number. The TM240 release and 250 A continuous rating hold flat through 50 °C; above that the current derates to 243.3 A at 55 °C, 236.5 A at 60 °C, 229 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. If the ambient inside the enclosure runs above 50 °C, the load must be downsized or the breaker upsized.

The 3VA1225-6GF42-0BC0 measures 70 mm deep, 140 mm wide, and 158 mm high. The 4-pole construction covers three-phase plus neutral (100 % N-conductor protection). No trip indicator on the front face, so remote signaling relies on the 2 HQ auxiliary switches.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3VA1225-6GF42-0BC0 and get a price?

This part is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ against this order code; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of the 3VA1225-6GF42-0BC0 at 415 V?

At 415 V the breaker clears 154 kA. At 240 V it clears 220 kA, at 440 V it clears 36 kA, and at 690 V it clears 17 kA.

Does the 3VA1225-6GF42-0BC0 include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it is built with an undervoltage release (UVR). The integrated auxiliary trip is part 3VA9608-0BB11. This provides positive trip on loss of control voltage, which is the standard for safety isolation schemes.

What compliance documentation is available for this SENTRON MCCB?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, the 3VA1225-6GF42-0BC0 carries the standard manufacturer documentation including RoHS and REACH declarations, and is designed to meet IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 requirements. Specific certificates are available on request at quote time.
