Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2125-0KQ36-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 25 A continuous current, using the ETU860 electronic trip unit. It's designed for line protection in distribution panels, with a breaking capacity of 440 kA at 415 V and 187 kA at 690 V — numbers that tell you it handles high-fault scenarios without cascading upstream.

The 25 A continuous rating is the load it carries indefinitely at 40 °C ambient — and it holds that same 25 A all the way up to 70 °C (–), so no derating curve to worry about in a warm panel. That ground-fault function is built in, not an add-on module.

At 690 V it still clears 187 kA. For selectivity studies, the ETU860's adjustable I²t curves let you coordinate with downstream breakers.

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep — standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for DIN-rail or screw-mount panels. Operating range is -25 °C to 70 °C, storage from -40 °C to 80 °C. Power loss is just 0.5 W — negligible for thermal budgeting.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for 3VA2125-0KQ36-0AA0?

25 A continuous, 3-pole, ETU860 electronic trip, 440 kA breaking capacity at 415 V, 187 kA at 690 V, insulation voltage 800 V, ground-fault monitoring via summation current.

Where can I buy 3VA2125-0KQ36-0AA0?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest functional second-source for 3VA2125-0KQ36-0AA0?

The 3VA2125-8KQ42-0AA0 is a peer within the same SENTRON 3VA platform, but it uses a different trip unit (ETU860 variant with different adjustable ranges). Verify the trip curve and accessory compatibility before substituting.

Will 3VA2125-0KQ36-0AA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2125-8KQ42-0AA0?

Both share the same 3-pole 25 A frame and the same physical footprint (105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep), so mechanical fit is identical. The difference is in the trip unit configuration — the 8KQ42 variant may have different adjustable parameters. Check the trip settings before swapping.

What compliance documentation does this breaker carry?

As a Siemens SENTRON MCCB, it carries IEC/EN 60947-2 certification. RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is available from Siemens. Specific UL/CSA listing should be verified per the exact variant — the 3VA series has UL versions with separate order codes.
