Product details

Its interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, which gives you headroom for high-fault installations where the available short-circuit current is substantial.

Above that, it derates linearly: 241 A at 55 °C, 232 A at 60 °C, 222 A at 65 °C, and 213 A at 70 °C. That's a 4-pole frame in a standard MCCB envelope — fits most DIN-rail or panel-mount layouts without surprises. Max power dissipation is 48 W, so factor that into your enclosure thermal budget.

Breaking capacity across voltage levels

This MCCB's interrupting capacity drops as system voltage rises: 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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative to 3VA2225-5HL42-0KA0?

The 3VA2225-5HN42-0BB0 is a sibling in the same 250 A, 4-pole frame but with a different accessory configuration — it includes an undervoltage release and an auxiliary switch, whereas the -5HL42-0KA0 has a shunt trip only. Both share the same interrupting ratings and physical footprint, so they can swap into the same panel without rewiring if the accessory set matches your circuit requirements.

Where can I buy 3VA2225-5HL42-0KA0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time on your quantity.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?

As a SENTRON series product, the 3VA2225-5HL42-0KA0 is designed to meet IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 standards for molded case circuit breakers. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens on request.
