Product details

Above 50 °C the thermal curve steps down: 238 A at 55 °C, 225 A at 60 °C, 213 A at 65 °C, and 200 A at 70 °C. For a panel that runs hot (say, 55 °C ambient inside the enclosure), the breaker's effective ampacity is 238 A, not the nameplate 250 A. The interrupting ratings are substantial: 242 kA at 240 V AC, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. The 3-pole design with line-protection designation means it is intended for feeder or main breaker duty, not motor-circuit protection (no motor-protective curve).

The 3VA frame mounts via screw terminals on a backplate or DIN rail (the SENTRON 3VA series uses a standard mounting footprint). The undervoltage release coil draws from the line side; the communication function typically uses a separate 24 V DC supply for the electronic trip unit's communication module. Verify the UVR coil voltage rating against your control voltage — the evidence does not state it explicitly, but the UVR is designed for undervoltage protection, not as a shunt trip.

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies 3VA2225-6JP32-0BL0 and how is it quoted?

We source this part through independent distribution channels. It is quoted to order against an RFQ; availability and current pricing are confirmed at the time of quotation.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2225-6JP32-0BL0?

Within the SENTRON 3VA family, the 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 is a lower-current sibling (160 A frame) with a similar auxiliary switch package. It will not drop into the same panel without rewiring — the 3VA2116 frame is physically smaller and the terminal layout differs. For a 250 A line, the 3VA2225-6JP32-0BL0 is the correct frame size.

What is the depth of 3VA2225-6JP32-0BL0?

The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in).

What is the width of 3VA2225-6JP32-0BL0?

The width is 105 mm (4.13 in).

Will 3VA2225-6JP32-0BL0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0?

No — the 3VA2225 frame is larger (105 mm wide vs the 3VA2116's 70 mm width). The mounting hole pattern and bus-bar spacing differ. You would need to re-drill the backplate or use a different DIN-rail adapter.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?

Siemens SENTRON MCCBs typically carry UL 489, CSA C22.2 No. 5, and IEC 60947-2 certifications. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Siemens' documentation portal. The evidence does not list specific cert numbers, but the product is designed for global markets.
