Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2125-5KP42-0AA0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker rated 25 A continuous, built around the ETU850 electronic trip unit. It's a line-protection design, meaning it sits at the feeder or sub-feed level in a distribution panel, not on a motor branch. The 4-pole configuration handles three-phase plus neutral switching, common in North American and some European schemes where the neutral needs to be disconnected.

187 kA at 240 V is the headline number — that's the short-circuit current this breaker can safely interrupt at 240 VAC, which covers most residential and light commercial service-entrance applications in North America. At 415 V and 440 V it still holds 121 kA, enough for industrial panel feeders. At 690 V it drops to 3.7 kA, so if you're on a 690 V system (some mining or marine plants) this breaker is not the right choice for high-fault locations — you'd need a higher-rated frame.

The 3VA2125-5KP42-0AA0 measures 86 mm deep, 140 mm wide, and 181 mm tall. That's a compact footprint for a 4-pole 25 A MCCB with an electronic trip unit and comms — it slides into the same cutout as other 3VA2 frame breakers, so if you're swapping a 3VA2125-8KQ42-0AA0 (different trip unit) the mechanical fit is identical. No re-drilling the panel.

Frequently asked questions

Will 3VA2125-5KP42-0AA0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2125-8KQ42-0AA0 without rewiring?

Yes, the mechanical footprint is identical — same 86 mm depth, 140 mm width, 181 mm height. The difference is the trip unit: the 5KP42 uses an ETU850 with communication function, while the 8KQ42 uses a different release. No panel rework needed for the swap.
