Product details

Its breaking capacity scales with system voltage: 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 — so the same frame covers everything from a 240 V service entrance to a 690 V motor control center without a different breaker. The 250 A rating holds from 40 °C through 50 °C ambient; above that it derates linearly to 200 A at 70 °C, which matters if the breaker sits in a hot enclosure or next to other heat sources. This is a line-protection design (not motor-protection), so the trip curve is set for cable and busbar protection.

The 86 mm depth (3.39 in) is the dimension to check against gland-plate clearance in shallow cabinets.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2225-8KP32-0LA0 and get a price?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a quote request; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the depth of 3VA2225-8KP32-0LA0?

The depth is 86 mm (3.39 in).

What is the width of 3VA2225-8KP32-0LA0?

The width is 105 mm (4.13 in).

Will 3VA2225-8KP32-0LA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 without rewiring?

Both are 3-pole SENTRON 3VA2 frame breakers with the same physical footprint (105 mm wide, 181 mm high, 86 mm deep), so the mechanical fit is identical. However, the 250 A rating and the 440 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V are higher than the 3VA2116-5JP32-0AE0 — verify the downstream conductors and bus bracing are rated for the higher fault current before swapping.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VA2225-8KP32-0LA0?

As a SENTRON series MCCB, this part carries the standard Siemens compliance documentation including RoHS and REACH declarations, and is designed to meet IEC 60947-2 and UL 489 standards. Specific certificates are available on request.
