Product details

Derating and thermal budget

The 3VA2225-6HN32-0CH0: The breaker holds its 250 A rating from 40 °C up to 50 °C ambient. Above that it derates linearly: 241 A at 55 °C, 232 A at 60 °C, 222 A at 65 °C, and 213 A at 70 °C. Maximum power loss is 50.5 W, which matters when packing multiple breakers into a closed panel — the heat load adds up. Operating range spans -25 °C to 70 °C, storage from -40 °C to 80 °C.

Physical fit and mounting

Dimensions are 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep. This is a standard SENTRON 3VA2 frame size — it mounts on a DIN rail or panel-mount baseplate. The 86 mm depth includes the arc chamber and terminals, so verify clearance behind the door if the breaker sits in a shallow enclosure. The basic switch assembly is order code 3VA2225-6HN32-0AA0.

Sourcing and lifecycle

This is a current-production part. It is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution — availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time. No official successor has been announced.
