Product details

What this MCCB delivers

The interrupting ratings are substantial: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and still 4.5 kA at 690 V. That covers most industrial distribution panels where high fault current is a concern — think large motor control centers or transformer secondaries.

Above that, it derates linearly: 238 A at 55 °C, 225 A at 60 °C, 213 A at 65 °C, and 200 A at 70 °C. The IP40 front protection means it's suited for clean indoor environments; no washdown rating here. Maximum power loss is 48 W at rated current. For a densely packed panel, that's a non-trivial heat source — ensure adequate ventilation or forced cooling if you're grouping several of these breakers together.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3VA2225-5KP42-0AA0's listed depth (86 mm) on this component line?

The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in). That's the dimension from the mounting surface to the front of the breaker, not counting any handle projection.

Will 3VA2225-5KP42-0AA0 drop into a panel that was specified around 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 without rewiring?

Not without verifying the frame size and bus connection pattern. The 3VA2225-5KP42-0AA0 is a 250 A frame with an ETU850 trip unit; the 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 is a lower-rated variant. Physical dimensions and lug spacing may differ — pull both datasheets and compare the mounting footprint before assuming a drop-in replacement.
