Product details

It carries a 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V AC, stepping down to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V — so you size it for the available fault current at your service voltage, not just the highest number on the label.

Footprint is 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA form factor that drops into the same mounting holes as the 3VA2 family. The 86 mm depth leaves room for rear-connected busbars in a typical 600 mm deep enclosure.

Current production — no phase-out notice on this order code. The base switch variant is 3VA2225-5HL32-0AA0; this -0AH0 adds the auxiliary switch package and trip alarm.

At 480 V systems (common in North America) the 121 kA at 440 V is the closest published point; for 600 V class gear the 75.6 kA at 500 V applies. Power loss is 48 W maximum at rated current — relevant for thermal coordination in a sealed enclosure, especially if multiple breakers share a compartment.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings of 3VA2225-5HL32-0AH0?

250 A continuous current, 3-pole, 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. The 250 A rating holds to 50 °C then derates to 213 A at 70 °C.

Where can I buy 3VA2225-5HL32-0AH0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock figures or firm prices on this listing.

Will 3VA2225-5HL32-0AH0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA2225-5HN42-0BB0?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 breakers sharing the same 105 x 181 x 86 mm footprint, so physical fit and busbar alignment are identical. The difference is in the internal trip unit and accessories — this -0AH0 carries 2 aux switches plus a trip alarm, while the -0HN42 variant has a different auxiliary configuration. Verify the auxiliary wiring scheme against your schematic before dropping it in.

What is the depth of 3VA2225-5HL32-0AH0?

86 mm (3.39 in) deep, 105 mm (4.13 in) wide, 181 mm (7.13 in) tall.
