3VA5325-7EC61-0AA0 - 250A Class CJAS 2-Pole Circuit Breaker

3VA5325-7EC61-0AA0 - 250A Class CJAS 2-Pole Circuit Breaker

If you’re dealing with high-demand electrical systems, you don’t have room for weak links—and that’s exactly where the Siemens 3VA5325-7EC61-0AA0 circuit breaker comes in. Built on the dependable 3VA5 platform, this 250-amp molded-case circuit breaker is designed to protect your system when it matters most—during overloads, short circuits, and unexpected faults. What makes this breaker stand out is its combination of simplicity and performance. You get fixed overload protection set at 250A (no guesswork, no constant adjustments), along with adjustable instantaneous trip settings (5–10x), so you can fine-tune how your system responds to fault conditions. Add in a high interrupting capacity of up to 100 kA at 480V AC, and you’ve got serious protection for demanding commercial and industrial environments. And let’s talk about flexibility. This 2-pole breaker is housed in a 3-pole frame, giving you more installation options—especially useful in retrofit or upgrade scenarios where space and compatibility matter.
