3VA5225-6EC31-0AA0 - HFAS 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

3VA5225-6EC31-0AA0 - HFAS 250 Amp Circuit Breaker

The 3VA5225-6EC31-0AA0 is a 3-pole, 250 amp thermal magnetic circuit breaker used for standard line protection in 480-volt systems. It’s built on the 3VA52 frame and comes with fixed trip settings, so there’s nothing to adjust or fine-tune. Once it’s installed, it’s ready to go. This makes it a practical option for replacements, panel work, or new installs where you just need the breaker to perform the way it’s supposed to.

With an interrupting rating of 35kA at 480V, this breaker is designed to clear faults quickly and help prevent damage to downstream equipment. The thermal magnetic trip responds to overloads over time and reacts fast during short-circuit events. For most commercial and industrial jobs, that combination covers exactly what’s needed without adding unnecessary complexity.
