Why they are similar
- 3VA5225-7ED31-1AA0 shares the same 3-pole, 250A, lever-operated FTFM construction and mounting type. The "-1AA0" suffix denotes a North American market variant; approval agencies differ (CCC, CE, EAC, UL489 only — CSA and VDE are not listed).
- 3VA5225-7ED32-0AA0 matches on pole count, current rating, actuator type, and packaging. The "-32" in the MPN indicates a different functional variant within the same 3VA52 series; it is cataloged under Series SENTRON.
- 3VA5225-7EC31-0AA0 aligns on 3-pole layout, 250A, lever actuator, and DIN Rail mounting. The "-EC" segment differentiates the FTAM frame type versus the FTFM frame of the primary part; the similarity score reflects a slightly lower prefix match due to this frame-family distinction.
Additional 4-pole (3VA5225-7ED41-0AA0) and 2-pole/3-pole hybrid (3VA5225-7ED61-0AA0) entries are also present in the catalog with scores of 1.0, both retaining the same 250A, lever, box-encapsulated profile.
