3VA5325-5EC61-0AA0 - 250A Class MJAS 2-Pole Circuit Breaker

3VA5325-5EC61-0AA0 - 250A Class MJAS 2-Pole Circuit Breaker

The Siemens 3VA5325-5EC61-0AA0 is a 250 amp molded case circuit breaker from the 3VA5 line, built for straightforward, reliable protection. It’s a 2-pole unit in a 3-pole frame, which gives you a bit more flexibility depending on how your panel is set up. This model uses a thermal magnetic trip unit, so it covers both overloads and short circuits without any complicated setup. The overload protection is fixed at 250A, and the instantaneous trip range (5–10x) gives you some room to handle fault conditions properly. It’s the kind of breaker you install and don’t have to worry about. With a 35 kA interrupting rating at 480V AC, it’s suited for commercial and light industrial applications where you need something dependable that can handle real fault conditions.
