Product details

Its breaking capacity reaches 440 kA at 240 V AC and 330 kA at 415 V AC, tapering to 52.5 kA at 690 V AC — a curve that tells you this breaker is built for high-fault industrial distribution, not light commercial panels. The thermal derating is mild: it holds 250 A up to 50 °C, then drops to 241 A at 55 °C and 213 A at 70 °C, so you can size it for a warm enclosure without oversizing the frame.

The basic switch core is order code 3VA2225-8HL32-0AA0.

The 86 mm depth is the overall body, not counting handle throw; verify front clearance for the operating mechanism in a shallow enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies 3VA2225-8HL32-0JL0 and how is it quoted for volume purchases?

This part is sourced through independent industrial-automation distribution. Volume pricing and lead time are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ — no public price list applies to this channel.

What is 3VA2225-8HL32-0JL0's listed depth on this component line?

The overall body depth is 86 mm (3.39 inches), with a width of 105 mm and height of 181 mm.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2225-8HL32-0JL0?

As a SENTRON MCCB from Siemens, this part typically carries UL, CSA, and IEC certifications appropriate for its breaking capacity ratings. Specific RoHS and REACH declarations are available from the manufacturer's documentation portal using the order code.

Will 3VA2225-8HL32-0JL0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 without rewiring?

The 3VA2225-8HL32-0JL0 is a different frame size — 250 A continuous versus the 3VA2163's lower rating — so it will not physically interchange without buswork changes. The 3VA2163-8HM32-0AA0 is a smaller-frame MCCB; this 3VA2225 variant requires the larger 3VA2 frame footprint and terminal spacing.
