Breaking capacity climbs with applied voltage: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 5.1 kA at 690 V. That 187 kA at 240 V covers high-fault utility feeds; the 5.1 kA at 690 V is still adequate for most 690 V industrial distribution but confirms this frame is optimized for the 400–500 V range where MCCBs live. The ETU320 electronic trip unit handles the overcurrent protection curve. The 3VA2225-5HL42-0HA0 measures 140 mm wide by 181 mm high by 86 mm deep. That 86 mm depth includes the case body but not the handle throw — check gland-plate clearance if the panel door closes tight. IP40 on the front means splash-protected from the front face; the rest of the breaker relies on the enclosure for ingress protection.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-5HL42-0HA0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 4-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2225-5HL42-0HA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated continuous current, 4-pole, ETU320 electronic trip unit, 187 kA at 240 V.
