Product details

It carries a continuous current rating of 250 A at 40 °C and holds that rating through 50 °C — above that it derates linearly to 213 A at 70 °C, so the thermal curve governs the real-world ampacity in a warm enclosure. The auxiliary release fitted is a shunt trip (STL), which lets a remote signal (emergency stop, fire alarm, PLC output) open the breaker independently of the overcurrent mechanism. That makes this variant a fit for circuits where a controlled remote disconnect is required alongside the thermal-magnetic protection.

The interrupting rating is voltage-dependent: 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V.

Depth of 86 mm leaves clearance behind a 200 mm deep enclosure gland plate.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2225-8HL32-0KA0 and get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — stock and lead time are confirmed at quote time.

What is the continuous current rating of 3VA2225-8HL32-0KA0?

The continuous current rating is 250 A at 40 °C, 45 °C, and 50 °C. Above 50 °C it derates: 241 A at 55 °C, 232 A at 60 °C, 222 A at 65 °C, and 213 A at 70 °C.

What is the breaking capacity of 3VA2225-8HL32-0KA0 at 415 V?

At 415 V the breaking capacity is 330 kA. At 240 V it is 440 kA; at 440 V it is 330 kA; at 500 V it is 220 kA; at 690 V it is 52.5 kA.

What compliance documentation is available for 3VA2225-8HL32-0KA0?

As a SENTRON MCCB from Siemens, this part is designed to meet IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 standards. RoHS and REACH declarations are typically available from the manufacturer. Specific certification marks (CE, UKCA, EAC) should be verified against the nameplate at receipt.
