Product details

It's a line-protection device — meaning it's configured for feeder and main breaker duty rather than motor branch-circuit protection.

This breaker carries 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. At 690 V the rating drops to 5.1 kA, so if you're on a 600 V or 690 V system, verify your available fault current is under that threshold.

Thermal derating — don't size by the 250 A label alone

At 55 °C it derates to 238 A, at 60 °C to 225 A, at 65 °C to 213 A, and at 70 °C to 200 A.

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, and 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint that fits SENTRON 3VA2 mounting plates and busbar systems. The mechanical endurance is 20,000 operations — typical for a main breaker that cycles infrequently.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2225-5KP32-0BA0 at 480 V?

The published interrupting ratings are 121 kA at 440 V and 79 kA at 500 V. For a 480 V system, use the 440 V rating (121 kA) as the conservative figure — it's the nearest published test voltage below 480 V.

What trip unit does this MCCB use?

It uses the ETU850 electronic trip unit, which provides adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection settings, plus communication capability.

Where can I buy 3VA2225-5KP32-0BA0 and get current pricing?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

Will 3VA2225-5KP32-0BA0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0?

The 3VA2225 is a larger-frame breaker (250 A vs the 3VA1112's lower rating) with different dimensions and busbar spacing. It will not physically interchange without panel modifications. Verify the mounting footprint and busbar centers before ordering.
