Product details

The SENTRON 3VA2225-5JQ32-0CC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 250 A continuous current and delivering a 187 kA interrupting rating at 240 V AC. At 415 V it still holds 121 kA, and at 690 V it derates to 5.1 kA, so the application voltage governs which fault level you design to. It carries the ETU560 electronic trip unit — that is a microprocessor-based release with adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection curves. The undervoltage release (UVR) is built in, so if the control voltage drops the breaker opens automatically, which is standard practice for safety circuits on lift-station pumps or chemical-feed skids that need a fail-safe drop. Above 50 °C it steps down: 238 A at 55 °C, 225 A at 60 °C, 213 A at 65 °C, 200 A at 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 50.5 W, which matters for heat rise in a multi-breaker lineup.

Panel fit and footprint

That 105 mm width is the standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for the 3VA2 frame — it drops into the same mounting slots as other 3VA2 breakers in the 250 A class, so a panel laid out for a 3VA2116 variant will accept this unit without drilling new holes or shifting the bus. The 86 mm depth leaves room for rear-connected bus bars or a cable-entry gland plate in a 400 mm deep enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2225-5JQ32-0CC0 at 240 V?

The interrupting rating is 187 kA at 240 V AC. At 415 V and 440 V it is 121 kA, at 500 V it is 79 kA, and at 690 V it is 5.1 kA.

Will 3VA2225-5JQ32-0CC0 drop into a panel designed for 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0?

Yes, the 105 mm width and 181 mm height are the same 3VA2 frame dimensions, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar positions are identical. The difference is the trip rating and release type, not the physical fit.

Where can I buy 3VA2225-5JQ32-0CC0?

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

What trip unit does 3VA2225-5JQ32-0CC0 use?

It uses the ETU560 electronic trip unit, which provides adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection curves. The breaker also includes an undervoltage release and two HQ auxiliary switches.
