Product details

What this 250 A SENTRON MCCB does on the line

It carries a 187 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V AC, which drops to 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then to 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V — so the SCCR headroom is substantial on 480 V or 600 V class systems, but verify the available fault current at your specific voltage.

Sizing and thermal derating for panel builders

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.

Auxiliary configuration and what ships with the breaker

No ground-fault monitoring module is included — that would be a separate add-on. No communication function is built in; status is available only through the hardwired auxiliary contacts.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2225-5HN42-0DH0 and get a price?

This part is sourced to order through independent industrial-automation distribution. Submit an RFQ against the order code; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2225-5HN42-0DH0 at different voltages?

The breaker is rated 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 high 187 kA figure at 240 V makes it suitable for high-fault locations like substation secondaries.

Does 3VA2225-5HN42-0DH0 include auxiliary contacts?

Yes, it ships with 2 auxiliary switches and 1 trip alarm switch (HQ type), plus an undervoltage release. No ground-fault module or communication function is included.
