At 240 V it interrupts 187 kA; at 415 V and 440 V it holds 121 kA; at 500 V it drops to 79 kA; at 690 V it's 5.1 kA. For a 480 V panel in North America (common industrial distribution), the relevant figure is the 500 V column at 79 kA — that's the one your coordination study needs. Dimensions are 181 mm high, 105 mm wide, 86 mm deep — a standard 3-pole MCCB footprint for the 250 A frame class. The undervoltage release is wired separately; the two HQ auxiliary switches give you position feedback for your PLC or status lamp without needing an add-on module.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-5HL32-0DC0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5HL32-0DC0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A continuous, 3-pole, ETU320 trip unit, 187 kA at 240 V.

The difference is in the trip unit and auxiliaries — this one uses an ETU320 with undervoltage release and two HQ aux switches, while the 5HN42 variant has a different trip/auxiliary configuration. The bus bar and lug positions are the same, so it will fit the panel, but verify the protection settings match your coordination study."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2225-5HL32-0DC0 (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC)?","answer":"Siemens provides RoHS and REACH declarations, plus UL and IEC compliance documentation for the SENTRON 3VA2 series.
