Product details

SENTRON 3VA2225-5HN42-0DL0 — 250 A, 4-Pole MCCB with ETU350 Trip Unit

The ETU350 electronic trip unit manages overcurrent and short-circuit response, with a maximum power loss of 50.5 W at rated load. Breaking capacity is voltage-dependent: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 5.1 kA at 690 V. Thermal derating begins above 50 °C ambient: the breaker carries 250 A continuously up to 50 °C, then drops to 241 A at 55 °C, 232 A at 60 °C, 222 A at 65 °C, and 213 A at 70 °C. For a panel running near its upper temperature limit, this curve governs whether the breaker can hold the load without nuisance tripping.

Physical Fit and Auxiliary Configuration

The width is the critical panel-space dimension for multi-breaker lineups — confirm the mounting footprint against the existing switchboard cutout or DIN-rail adapter plate.

Frequently asked questions

When sourcing 3VA2225-5HN42-0DL0, what's the closest functional second-source — 3VA2225-5HN42-0BB0?

The 3VA2225-5HN42-0BB0 is a peer variant within the same SENTRON 3VA2 frame. The key difference is the auxiliary contact configuration: the -0DL0 carries a 2+1+1 auxiliary block (two auxiliary switches, one trip alarm, one electrical alarm HQ), while the -0BB0 uses a different auxiliary contact arrangement. Verify the auxiliary contact count and type against your control circuit requirements before substituting.

What is 3VA2225-5HN42-0DL0's listed depth (86 mm) on this component line?

The depth is 86 mm. This dimension, combined with the 140 mm width and 181 mm height, defines the breaker's physical envelope for panel layout.

What is 3VA2225-5HN42-0DL0's listed width (140 mm) on this component line?

The width is 140 mm. This is the primary dimension for multi-unit spacing in switchboard or panelboard installations.

Will 3VA2225-5HN42-0DL0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2225-5HN42-0BB0 without rewiring?

Both variants share the same SENTRON 3VA2 frame dimensions (181 mm × 140 mm × 86 mm) and the same 250 A, 4-pole, line protection, ETU350 trip unit. The physical mounting and power connections are identical. The difference is in the auxiliary contact block — the -0DL0 has a 2+1+1 configuration versus the -0BB0's arrangement. If the control wiring relies on a specific auxiliary contact count or type, verify compatibility before substitution.
