Product details

The ETU560 is a microprocessor-based trip unit with LSIG functions. Overload protection (Ir) is adjustable from 100 A to 250 A, so you dial in the continuous current to match the cable or busbar rating — not just the breaker frame. Short-time pickup (Isd) spans 0.6 to 10 times In, and instantaneous pickup (Ii) runs 1.5 to 10 times In. Ground-fault protection (Ig) is adjustable from 0.2 to 1 times In with a time delay tg of 0.05 to 0.8 seconds, and it can be switched off entirely if the installation uses a separate GFCI. The neutral conductor protection is also adjustable (OFF, up to 100% of In). That level of adjustability means one breaker covers a wide range of feeder and main applications — you set the taps at commissioning, not at ordering.

Integrated accessories — undervoltage release and auxiliary switches

The auxiliary switches report the breaker position (open/closed) and the trip alarm signals a fault trip, not a manual open.

The 3VA2 frame 250 mounts with four screws onto a mounting plate or into a switchboard — it is not a DIN-rail snap-on breaker. The nut keeper kit mentioned in the description holds the mounting nuts captive, which saves time when you are assembling the breaker into a panel with limited rear access. Plan for the 4-pole footprint: it occupies roughly 280 mm width on the mounting plate, and the line and load lugs accept copper or aluminum conductors sized for 250 A continuous. The undervoltage release coil draws continuously when energized; factor that into the control transformer sizing if you are feeding multiple releases from one source.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2225-5JQ42-0CH0 and get a price?

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

What protection functions does the ETU560 trip unit provide?

The ETU560 provides LSIG protection: long-time (Ir 100–250 A), short-time (Isd 0.6–10x In), instantaneous (Ii 1.5–10x In), and ground-fault (Ig 0.2–1x In, tg 0.05–0.8 s). Neutral protection is adjustable from OFF to 100% of In.

What accessories are included with this order code?

It includes an undervoltage release (120–127 V AC 50/60 Hz), two auxiliary switch changeover contacts, and one trip alarm switch changeover contact.
