Product details

Siemens SENTRON 3VM1225-4ED32-0AA0 — 250 A MCCB, TM210 Release

The interrupting ratings are what decide fit: 121 kA at 240 V, 76 kA at 415 V, 53 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500 V — so at 415 V it clears faults up to 76 kA without cascading upstream, which is the figure most panel builders check for IEC 60947-2 coordination.

Thermal Derating and Continuous Current

Above that it derates linearly: 243.3 A at 55 °C, 236.5 A at 60 °C, 229.8 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. If the panel ambient hits 60 °C, the available continuous current drops to 236.5 A — the so-what is that a 250 A feeder needs a panel ventilation review or a higher-frame breaker if the enclosure runs hot.

Physical Integration and Approvals

The TM210 release design means the thermal and magnetic settings are factory-fixed; no field-adjustable dials.

Frequently asked questions

What are the interrupting ratings for 3VM1225-4ED32-0AA0 at common voltages?

121 kA at 240 V, 76 kA at 415 V, 53 kA at 440 V, and 17 kA at 500 V. The 415 V figure is the one most panel builders use for IEC coordination studies.

Will 3VM1225-4ED32-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0?

Not without checking the mounting footprint and bus bar spacing. The 3VM1225-4ED32-0AA0 is a 250 A frame with 105 mm width and 70 mm depth; the 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 is a different frame size. Physical fit must be verified against the existing panel cutout and bus connection layout.

Where can I buy 3VM1225-4ED32-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced through independent distribution channels and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock figures are published here.

What is the continuous current rating at elevated ambient temperatures?

250 A from 40 °C to 50 °C, then derated to 243.3 A at 55 °C, 236.5 A at 60 °C, 229.8 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. Use the 60 °C column if the panel runs hot.
