Breaking capacity is the real selector here: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 5.1 kA at 690 V. At 690 V the 5.1 kA figure tells you this is a line-protection breaker, not a motor-circuit device — the application is feeder protection, not switching a load. ## Trip unit and auxiliaries — what is built in It is a straight line-protection breaker with four HQ auxiliary switches (4 auxiliary switches HQ) that give you status feedback for the PLC or annunciator panel. The supplied basic switch is order code 3VA2225-5HL32-0AA0. This version adds the four HQ switches. Maximum power loss is 48 W. Latching endurance is 20,000 operations.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-5HL32-0AE0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5HL32-0AE0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated continuous current, 187 kA breaking capacity at 240 V AC.
