That means at 415 V it clears a 154 kA fault without cascading upstream — a high-fault rating for a 250 A frame. The breaker carries 250 A continuously up to 50 °C ambient. Above that it derates: 243 A at 55 °C, 237 A at 60 °C, 230 A at 65 °C, and 223 A at 70 °C. If the panel ambient runs 60 °C, plan for 237 A max — the full 250 A is not available. Maximum power loss is 59.5 W at rated current. Factor that into the enclosure thermal budget — at 250 A the breaker dissipates nearly 60 W, which adds to the internal temperature rise. If your BOM requires a communicating breaker or GF protection, this is not the variant.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1225-6GF42-0BA0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 4-Pole, TM24","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1225-6GF42-0BA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 250 A, 4-pole, TM240 release, 220 kA at 240 V.
