It breaks up to 187 kA at 240 VAC, 121 kA at 415/440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V — so the interrupting capacity scales with system voltage. This is a line-protection design, not a motor-protection device; it is built for feeder and main distribution in switchboards and panelboards. The 86 mm depth, 105 mm width, and 181 mm height fit standard MCCB mounting footprints in enclosed distribution panels. Continuous current holds at 250 A up to 50 °C, then drops to 238 A at 55 °C, 225 A at 60 °C, 213 A at 65 °C, and 200 A at 70 °C. That derating curve matters when the breaker is inside a sealed enclosure near other heat sources — it will handle the full 250 A only if the ambient stays at or below 50 °C. ## Integrated auxiliary and shunt-trip options The basic switch variant is 3VA2225-5JP32-0AA0. It also supports a communication function for remote monitoring or trip-event signaling — useful for integration with a BMS or SCADA system.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-5JP32-0JC0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5JP32-0JC0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA at 240 VAC.
