The IP40 front protection means it's suitable for indoor switchgear but not washdown areas; keep it in a dry, dust-controlled cabinet. Maximum power loss is 48 W — account for that heat in your enclosure's thermal budget, especially when multiple breakers are ganged. No official successor has been assigned; the 3VA2 platform remains active. For BOM freeze or long-term planning, the ETU320 trip unit and 250 A frame are standard catalog items with broad channel support.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-0HL32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 440 kA at 41","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-0HL32-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated, 440 kA breaking capacity at 415 V AC.
