The 250 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 238 A at 55 °C, 225 A at 60 °C, 213 A at 65 °C, and 200 A at 70 °C. In a sealed enclosure with a 55 °C ambient, you lose 12 A off the nameplate — plan the load margin accordingly. ## Built-in communication and auxiliary contacts This variant includes a communication function and ships with two HQ auxiliary switches — that's a factory-fitted signaling package for remote status or PLC feedback without adding a separate module. The basic switch core is order code 3VA2225-5JP32-0AA0.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-5JP32-0AC0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2225-5JP32-0AC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 V.
