Product details

What this MCCB does on the line

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5HL42-0AB0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 250 A continuous current at 40 °C, with a maximum interrupting capacity of 187 kA at 240 V. The 250 A frame holds solid up to 70 °C ambient (derated to 213 A at that temp), so it handles a warm panel without tripping early.

Panel fit and footprint

That 86 mm depth means it clears most shallow enclosures without bumping the gland plate. Four-pole construction takes up the full width; if you're swapping from a three-pole unit, plan for an extra 35 mm or so of DIN rail space.

Frequently asked questions

What is the interrupting capacity of this MCCB at 240 V?

The 3VA2225-5HL42-0AB0 is rated to interrupt 187 kA at 240 V, which covers high-fault-current scenarios typical near large transformers.

Will 3VA2225-5HL42-0AB0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 without rewiring?

Both breakers share the same SENTRON 3VA frame dimensions (140 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep), so the mechanical fit is identical. However, the 3VA2225-5HL42-0AB0 is a 250 A, 4-pole unit while the 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 is a lower-current 3-pole design — verify busbar and lug sizing before swapping.

Where can I buy 3VA2225-5HL42-0AB0?
