The 3VA2 frame carries a 3 000 A maximum interrupt rating; this specific unit is set at a 375 A minimum, 3 000 A maximum, so the trip unit is adjustable across that band.
Breaking capacity — the real fit number
Breaking capacity is where the 3VA2325-5HL32-0AG0 earns its place in a panel schedule. At 240 V it interrupts 187 kA — that's utility-transformer-level fault current, typical for a main service entrance or a large sub-distribution board.
Footprint is 138 mm wide by 248 mm tall by 110 mm deep — a 3-pole MCCB in a standard SENTRON 3VA2 frame.
Auxiliary switch and trip indication
The trip indicator is present, so a visual flag shows when the breaker has tripped on fault — useful for a maintenance tech walking a lineup. No communication function, no voltage trigger, no auxiliary release. This is a standalone breaker, not a smart breaker with IO-Link or PROFINET.
Thermal limits and power loss
Maximum power loss is 37.5 W at rated current — that heat has to be managed inside the enclosure, so factor it into the panel cooling calculation if the breaker is in a sealed box with other heat sources.
