Product details

250 A fixed, 4-pole — line protection with shunt trip

Its interrupting capacity reaches 220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V, and 17 kA at 690 V — figures that define the available fault current it can safely clear without upstream coordination issues. The TM240 thermal-magnetic release provides overload and short-circuit protection, while the integrated shunt trip (STL) allows remote tripping via a control signal. At 250 A continuous, the breaker carries a maximum power loss of 57 W. The thermal derating curve is published: 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. For a panel builder, that means the breaker can be mounted in a standard enclosure without forced cooling at ambient up to 50 °C, but above that, the connected load must be reduced per the curve. The shunt trip release (STL) is factory-installed; no field retrofit required.

Interrupting capacity by voltage — selectivity planning

The interrupting ratings are specified at five voltage levels: 220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. A site electrical engineer sizing for a 415 V distribution board with a 100 kA prospective fault current has 54 kA of headroom — enough to maintain selectivity with downstream breakers without cascading.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA1225-6GF42-0KA0?

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

What are the key interrupting ratings for this MCCB?

220 kA at 240 V, 154 kA at 415 V, 75.6 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, and 17 kA at 690 V. These are the maximum fault currents the breaker can safely interrupt at each voltage level.

What is the thermal derating above 50 °C?

The breaker carries 250 A up to 50 °C. Above that: 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. No derating is needed below 50 °C.

Does this breaker include a shunt trip?

Yes. The design of the auxiliary release is a shunt trip (STL), factory-installed. It allows remote tripping via a control voltage signal.
