This is a 3-pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker built for dependable protection in commercial and industrial environments. In plain terms—it watches your system for trouble and reacts fast when something’s off. Whether it’s a slow overload or a sudden short circuit, this breaker is designed to step in before damage spreads. What makes this model appealing is how straightforward it is. The overload protection is fixed at 250 amps, so there’s no guesswork during installation. And when a serious fault hits, the instantaneous trip (10x In) kicks in immediately to help limit equipment damage and downtime. With a 35kA interrupting rating at 480V, it’s capable of handling high fault currents you’d typically see in larger electrical systems. At the same time, it doesn’t take up more space than it needs to—making it a practical fit for panelboards, switchgear, and tight enclosures. Bottom line: this is the kind of breaker you install when you want reliable protection without constant adjustments or second-guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e250 Amp rating – built for heavier electrical loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35kA @ 480V interrupting capacity – handles high fault conditions with confidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermal magnetic trip unit (TM230) – protects against both overloads and short circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-pole configuration – ideal for three-phase systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed overload setting (Ir = 250A) – simple, consistent operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstantaneous trip at 10x In – fast response when it matters most\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact design – easier to install in space-limited panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSiemens engineering – trusted performance across industrial applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3VA5225-5EC31-0AA0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3VA52 \/ 3VA5 Frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoles:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterrupting Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35kA @ 480V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrip Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thermal Magnetic (TM230)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverload Protection (Ir):\u003c\/strong\u003e 250A (fixed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort-Circuit Protection (Ii):\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 × In\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 9.65 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 6.3 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth: 5.9 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Compliance and Certifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL Listed for use in North American electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to align with standard NEC requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt with durable components suited for long-term operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou’ll typically see this breaker used in:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial electrical distribution panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndustrial machinery and control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturing facilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower distribution setups requiring 250A protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement projects where reliability is critical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eUse of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) trademarks, names, and logos is for informational and identification purposes only.
