Product details

At 415 V and 440 V it still holds 187 kA, dropping to 121 kA at 500 V and 7.5 kA at 690 V; the steep roll-off above 500 V means you verify the available fault current at the actual service voltage, not the nameplate maximum. The ground-fault monitoring uses summation current formation on L+N, so it detects leakage without a separate GFCI module — one less device to wire into the enclosure.

The 3VA2325-6HM42-0AA0 measures 248 mm high, 184 mm wide, and 110 mm deep — a 4-pole frame that occupies roughly 7.24 inches of DIN-rail width. Mounting is standard SENTRON 3VA screw-clamp to the backplane or DIN rail adapter; verify the existing panel's busbar drilling pattern if replacing a different brand's 4-pole MCCB, since the terminal centers may differ.

Thermal performance and derating

That is unusual for a molded case breaker; most competitors start tapering above 50 °C.

Protection and release features

This is a line-protection design — no undervoltage release, no voltage trip, no communication module onboard. The trip unit is set with an initial value of 50 A and a full-scale value of 250 A, so it is field-adjustable within that range. No trip indicator is fitted; fault events are signaled only by the handle position and downstream monitoring. The insulation voltage rating is 800 V, giving margin above the 690 V interrupting rating.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2325-6HM42-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ through the storefront; the part is sourced to order and current pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What is 3VA2325-6HM42-0AA0's listed depth?

The depth is 110 mm (4.33 in), which fits standard 300 mm deep enclosures without crowding the gland plate.

Will 3VA2325-6HM42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AK0?

Both are SENTRON 3VA 4-pole MCCBs, so the mounting footprint and DIN-rail spacing are the same family. The 3VA2325-6HM42-0AA0 is a higher-current frame (250 A vs the 3VA2225's lower rating), so verify the busbar ampacity and lug size before swapping — the physical dimensions may differ between frame sizes.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?

As a SENTRON series MCCB, it carries the standard Siemens declarations — RoHS, REACH, and IEC 60947-2 compliance documentation are available through the manufacturer's support portal. UL and CSA listings are typical for the 3VA family but should be confirmed against the specific order code for the target jurisdiction.
