Part of the SENTRON 3VA5 frame family, this 225-amp molded case circuit breaker delivers reliable LI protection for commercial and industrial switchboards. The unit integrates a TM230 thermal-magnetic trip system, offering fixed long-time and adjustable instantaneous functions. Designed to mount into Siemens P3, P4, and P5 panelboards, it provides a 65kA interrupting capacity at 480V. This model acts as an updated substitute for older HJD63B225 breakers and ships without lugs.
