For a 480 V plant distribution panel, the 121 kA at 440 V figure is the closest published value — that's well above typical available fault current in most industrial MCC rooms, so selectivity with downstream breakers is achievable without worrying about the main tripping on a feeder fault. ## Thermal performance — rated for the heat, not the office At 55 °C it derates to 238 A, at 60 °C to 225 A, at 65 °C to 213 A, and at 70 °C to 200 A. The 105 mm width per 3-pole unit is the standard SENTRON 3VA footprint, so it drops into existing busbar and mounting arrangements without re-drilling. Maximum power loss is 50.5 W at rated current. Plan for forced ventilation or a larger enclosure if you're grouping several of these in a confined space.","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5JP32-0CA0 MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5JP32-0CA0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A continuous, 3-pole, line protection with undervoltage release.
