Product details

SENTRON 3VA1225-6GF42-0DC0 — 250 A 4-Pole MCCB, Line Protection

Interrupting ratings span 220 kA at 240 V AC, 154 kA at 415 V, 36 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — so it handles high-fault utility feeds at lower voltages while maintaining selectivity on 690 V industrial networks. The 250 A frame is thermally stable up to 50 °C (full rating), then derates to 223 A at 70 °C; plan your enclosure ventilation if ambient exceeds 50 °C.

Footprint & Panel Fit

Front protection is IP40, so it suits indoor panel environments; no washdown rating on this variant.

Release & Accessory Configuration

The TM240 overcurrent release is a thermal-magnetic type, fixed at 250 A, with no voltage-trigger or phase-failure detection on this variant. The undervoltage release (UVR) drops the breaker on loss of control voltage — common for emergency-stop circuits and safety disconnects. Two HQ auxiliary switches (form C) provide status feedback to the PLC or SCADA.

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies 3VA1225-6GF42-0DC0 and how is it quoted for volume purchases?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent industrial-automation distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time; volume pricing is negotiated per quantity requested.

What is 3VA1225-6GF42-0DC0's interrupting rating at 240 V?

It interrupts 220 kA at 240 V AC, which covers high-fault utility service entrances and large transformer secondaries.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA1225-6GF42-0DC0?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs carry UL, CSA, CE, and IEC certifications per the standard 3VA series documentation. RoHS and REACH declarations are available through the manufacturer's compliance portal.

Will 3VA1225-6GF42-0DC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 without rewiring?

The 3VA1225-6GF42-0DC0 is a 250 A 4-pole MCCB with a 70x140x158 mm footprint — the same frame size as the 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 (which is a 125 A 3-pole unit). The 4-pole variant requires a wider panel cutout and different bus connections; verify the mounting plate and busbar layout before substitution.
