Product details

It's configured for line protection — no undervoltage release, no phase-failure detection, but it does carry a communication function for remote monitoring and a ground-fault summation-current scheme on L+N. The interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V, so it's sized for high-fault industrial panels where selectivity matters.

At 55 °C it drops to 240.625 A, at 60 °C to 231.25 A, at 65 °C to 221.875 A, and at 70 °C to 212.5 A. That thermal curve means a panel running at 50 °C ambient still gets full 250 A; push past that and the ETU560 adjusts the trip threshold accordingly. The auxiliary contact block ships as 2 auxiliary switches plus 1 trip-alarm switch (HQ version).

Panel integration

The 4-pole footprint fits standard Siemens SENTRON mounting patterns; the ETU560 interface and communication port are accessible from the front.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2225-5JQ42-0GH0 and how do I get a price?

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

What is 3VA2225-5JQ42-0GH0's listed depth?

The depth is 107 mm.

What is 3VA2225-5JQ42-0GH0's listed width?

The width is 140 mm.

Will 3VA2225-5JQ42-0GH0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AK0 without rewiring?

Both are 4-pole SENTRON MCCBs with the same 250 A frame and ETU560 trip unit, so the mounting footprint and bus-bar pattern are identical. The auxiliary contact configuration differs — this one carries 2 aux + 1 trip alarm (HQ), while the -5JQ32-0AK0 may have a different aux count. Check the aux wiring map before drop-in, but the mechanical fit is the same.
