Handling extreme fault conditions, this C-Class 225-amp breaker delivers an impressive 100kA interrupting capacity at 480VAC. The SENTRON 3VA5 frame utilizes a TM230 thermal-magnetic trip unit, providing fixed long-time and adjustable instantaneous protection. It integrates seamlessly into Siemens P3, P4, and P5 switchboards to safeguard critical infrastructure. Facilities can utilize this model to replace older HHJD63B225 breakers by adding the required strap kit.
