Product details

That continuous rating holds flat all the way to 50 °C — no derate needed until you push past 55 °C, where it steps down to 238 A at 55 °C and 200 A at 70 °C. The interrupting capacity climbs with the voltage curve: 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.

It carries a communication function onboard, so you get remote monitoring or trip indication without an add-on module taking up extra DIN space. No undervoltage release fitted, so if the application needs UVR for motor-start interlocking, that's a separate accessory.

The 250 A full-scale value and the 375 A minimum define the adjustable thermal-magnetic or electronic trip range — you set the long-time pickup somewhere between those numbers to match the cable or load. The 48 W maximum power loss matters for enclosure heat rise: in a sealed panel at 70 °C ambient, that's 48 W the ventilation or air conditioning has to pull out.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AH0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AH0?

The 3VA2163-8JQ32-0AA0 is a lower-current sibling in the same SENTRON 3VA family, but it will not drop into a panel specified for the 250 A frame without rewiring the bus bars and trip unit — the frame rating and trip curve differ.

What are the key specifications for 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AH0?

It is a 3-pole MCCB rated 250 A continuous at 40 °C, with interrupting capacity of 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and 75.6 kA at 500 V. Dimensions are 105 mm wide by 181 mm tall by 86 mm deep.
