Product Overview
The 3VA5222-6ED32-1AA0 is a three-pole molded case circuit breaker from Siemens' SENTRON 3VA5 family. It carries a 225 A current rating and mounts on DIN rail in standard enclosure layouts. The lever actuator provides local manual operation, and the device carries CCC, CE, and UL489 certifications covering a range of industrial markets.
The "65KA" designation in the title references the breaker's interrupting rating, a common rating class for this frame size in branch protection applications.
Integration Notes
This breaker is typically selected for motor branch protection or feeder circuits where coordination with upstream protective devices is required. Three-pole configuration provides simultaneous interruption of all three phases. DIN rail mounting suits standardized panel construction.
Auxiliary contact and shunt trip configurations are available within the 3VA5 family but are determined by specific suffix codes not covered by this listing.

3VA5222-6ED32-0AA0 shares the SENTRON series and identical ratings; it adds CSA to the approval agency list, making it suitable for North American and Canadian market entry points where CCC+CE alone may not satisfy provincial requirements.
3VA5222-6ED32-2AA0 differs by bulk packaging instead of box packaging, and carries the 3VA5 series designation rather than SENTRON branding—reflecting an internal product line designation rather than a functional difference.
3VA5222-6ED31-1AA0 shares the same ratings and package but substitutes EAC approval for CSA, and lists no series designation. It also carries a RoHS non-compliant flag, which may affect procurement in regions with environmental compliance requirements.
Additional alternates in the catalog (3VA5222-6ED36, 3VA5222-6ED41, 3VA5222-6ED61) cover variants with different pole counts or internal suffix coding; their suitability depends on the specific application requirements.
FAQ
What is the frame size of the 3VA5222-6ED32-1AA0? The part falls within the 3VA5 family (225 A frame); exact dimensions are not listed in the current catalog record.
Can this breaker be used for motor protection? The 225 A rating and three-pole configuration support motor branch selection, but coordination with overload relays and upstream devices must be verified by the specifying engineer.
Does the 3VA5222-6ED32-1AA0 include auxiliary contacts? Auxiliary contact capability is determined by suffix coding within the 3VA5 family; this listing does not include auxiliary contact configuration data.
