Product details

That's unusual for an MCCB and means you don't have to oversize the frame or add forced cooling when the panel runs hot. The 4-pole configuration covers three-phase plus neutral, with the N-conductor protection adjustable from OFF to 20–160% of the phase rating. That's handy for panels where the neutral load isn't symmetrical — common in VFD-fed lines or lighting distribution.

This breaker's interrupting ratings span the voltage range you'll see in most industrial switchgear: 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. For typical 480 V North American panels, the 220 kA at 500 V rating gives comfortable headroom even on high-capacity transformers.

Trip unit and adjustability

The ETU860 electronic trip unit is the brains here — it's adjustable for I-trip, giving you selectivity tuning without swapping trip packs. The ground-fault monitoring uses summation current formation on L+N, which is the standard approach for 4-pole breakers protecting solidly-grounded systems. Communication function is built in, so this breaker can talk to a BMS or PLC for power monitoring and remote trip indication — no separate module needed.

Dimensions: 248 mm tall, 184 mm wide, 110 mm deep (–). That's a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint — it'll drop into most SENTRON or competitor panel-mounting bases without re-drilling. Power loss maxes at 37.5 W — negligible for cabinet heat load.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2325-8KQ42-0AA0 and how do I get a price?

This breaker is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit a request with your quantity and delivery window, and we'll come back with a firm number.

What is the 250 A rating good for at elevated cabinet temperatures?

The 250 A continuous rating holds flat from 40 °C to 70 °C (–) — no derating needed. That means you can run this breaker at full nameplate current even in a warm enclosure without oversizing the frame or adding forced ventilation.

Will 3VA2325-8KQ42-0AA0 drop into a panel that was specified around 5SQ2670-2YA16 without rewiring?

The 3VA2325-8KQ42-0AA0 is a 4-pole MCCB with a 248 mm height, 184 mm width, and 110 mm depth (–). Without the mounting footprint and bus-bar spacing of the 5SQ2670-2YA16 on hand, a direct mechanical fit can't be confirmed from this data alone — verify the cutout dimensions and lug centers before committing.
