Product details

It carries a TM210 thermal-magnetic overcurrent release — a fixed thermal element with magnetic short-circuit trip — and is rated for a maximum of 2 500 A interrupting capacity at the device level, with SCCR values that shift by voltage: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V AC, 76 kA at 440 V AC, and 30 kA at 500 V AC. That SCCR curve tells you this breaker handles high-fault scenarios at lower voltages but derates significantly above 440 V — plan the upstream coordination accordingly.

Ratings that drive the fit

Continuous current rating holds flat at 250 A from 40 °C through 50 °C ambient, then steps down: 243.3 A at 55 °C, 236.5 A at 60 °C, 229.8 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C.

Three-pole format, 105 mm wide by 158 mm tall by 70 mm deep — the 70 mm depth is shallower than many MCCBs in this class, so it tucks into a standard 200 mm deep enclosure with room for wiring gutters.

No official successor exists because none is needed.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VM1225-5ED32-0AA0?

Submit an RFQ against this order code. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest functional alternative to 3VM1225-5ED32-0AA0?

The 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0 is a close sibling in the same SENTRON family, but it uses a different release and frame size. The 3VM1225-5ED32-0AA0 has a TM210 release rated 250 A; the 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0 carries a different release and amp rating. Verify the release type and continuous current before substituting — they are not drop-in interchangeable without rewiring the protection settings.

Will 3VM1225-5ED32-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0 without rewiring?

Not without checking the mounting footprint and connection terminals. The 3VM1225-5ED32-0AA0 is 105 mm wide by 158 mm tall by 70 mm deep; the 3VA1112-5EE32-0AA0 may have different dimensions and terminal spacing. Compare the physical outline and lug positions before assuming a direct swap.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3VM1225-5ED32-0AA0?

As a SENTRON MCCB, this breaker carries IEC 60947-2 certification for low-voltage switchgear. Siemens provides a declaration of conformity, RoHS/REACH compliance statements, and the 3VA Molded Case Circuit Breaker Manual for DC application notes. Request the specific documentation package with your RFQ.
