Product details

It carries a continuous current rating of 250 A at 40 °C and is built to interrupt fault currents up to 242 kA at 240 V, dropping to 187 kA at 415 V and 4.5 kA at 690 V — so it handles high available fault current on the low-voltage side of a transformer but needs coordination attention at higher line voltages.

Thermal derating and trip adjustment

The breaker holds its full 250 A rating from 40 °C up to 50 °C, then derates linearly to 200 A at 70 °C. That means a panel running warm — say 55 °C inside the enclosure — you lose 12 A off the headline number. The adjustable thermal-magnetic trip is set from a minimum of 375 A to a maximum of 2 500 A, with the full-scale value at 250 A. Initial trip setting is 50 A, so this unit ships set low and needs field adjustment to match the load.

No auxiliary switch is fitted from the factory, so if you need status feedback, plan for an add-on module.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2225-6JQ32-0KA0?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at the time of quote.

What is the interrupting capacity at 240 V and 690 V?

At 240 V the breaker interrupts 242 kA; at 690 V the rating drops to 4.5 kA. The high 240 V figure suits low-voltage transformer secondaries, while the 690 V limit means it is not a primary choice for 690 V distribution without coordination study.

Does this breaker include a shunt trip?

Yes, it is fitted with a shunt trip release (STL) for remote tripping. No auxiliary switch is included from the factory.
