Its headline current rating is 250 A at 40 °C, holding flat through 50 °C before it begins to derate — at 55 °C it carries 238 A, at 60 °C it carries 225 A, and at 70 °C it carries 200 A. That derating curve is what matters for a panel sitting near a motor drive or transformer: you size the breaker for the actual ambient inside the enclosure, not the nameplate 250 A. Interrupting capacity is where this frame earns its place. At 240 V it clears 242 kA; at 415 V and 440 V it clears 187 kA; at 500 V it clears 121 kA. The 3-pole construction and undervoltage release (UVR) trip the breaker on loss of control voltage — standard for safety circuits that must fail to a de-energized state.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy 3VA2225-6JQ32-0CL0 and how do I get a price?
This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent industrial-automation distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead-time estimate.
What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2225-6JQ32-0CL0 at 415 V?
At 415 V the interrupting capacity is 187 kA. It also clears 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V.
What is the depth of 3VA2225-6JQ32-0CL0?
The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in). Width is 105 mm (4.13 in) and height is 181 mm (7.13 in).
Does 3VA2225-6JQ32-0CL0 include an undervoltage release?
Yes. The breaker is equipped with an undervoltage release (UVR) that trips the breaker when control voltage drops below the dropout threshold.
