4-pole 250 A MCCB with 187 kA interrupting capacity
The breaker carries a trip indicator and comes with one auxiliary switch plus one trip alarm switch for remote status monitoring.
Above that, derate linearly: 241 A at 55 °C, 232 A at 60 °C, 222 A at 65 °C, 213 A at 70 °C (–). In a sealed enclosure with minimal airflow, that 70 °C ceiling means you lose nearly 15 % of the continuous rating — plan your bundle fill factor accordingly. Max power loss is 48 W — non-trivial in a dense lineup; account for it in the enclosure thermal budget.
Interrupting ratings across voltage levels
The 3VA2225-5HL42-0AF0 delivers 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V (–), 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. The steep drop above 500 V means this breaker is optimized for 240–480 V distribution — typical for North American and IEC 415 V panels. At 690 V the 4.5 kA limit restricts it to low-fault applications; if your line side can deliver more, step up to a higher-rated frame.
