For a critical-spare buyer, this means the breaker can sit in a warm enclosure without surprise tripping, as long as the ambient stays under 50 °C. ## Breaking capacity and trip unit Breaking capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 75.6 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. At 415 V, that 121 kA covers most industrial service-entrance and feeder applications with headroom for high-fault scenarios. A shunt trip release (STL) is built in for remote emergency switching. Two auxiliary HQ contacts report breaker position back to a PLC or status panel. Dimensions are 181 mm high, 140 mm wide, 86 mm deep — a 4-pole frame that fits standard Siemens 3VA2 mounting hardware and busbar systems. The 86 mm depth (3.39 in) is shallow enough for most 600 mm deep enclosures, leaving room for rear-connected busbars or cable lugs.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-5JP42-0HC0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 4-Pole, ETU5","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2225-5JP42-0HC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated, 4-pole, ETU550 trip unit, 187 kA at 240 V.

The difference is in the trip unit and accessories — the -5JP42-0HC0 carries an ETU550 electronic trip with communication and shunt trip, while the -5HN42-0BB0 uses a different trip configuration. If the panel wiring was designed for a 3VA2 frame with the same accessory slot layout, it drops in; verify the control wiring for the shunt trip and auxiliary contacts match the existing circuit."},{"question":"What is 3VA2225-5JP42-0HC0's listed depth?","answer":"The depth is 86 mm (3.39 inches)."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3VA2225-5JP42-0HC0?","answer":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2 breakers are typically supplied with IEC 60947-2 compliance, UL 489 listing, and CE marking.
