The 250 A rating holds flat through 50 °C, then derates to 238 A at 55 °C and 200 A at 70 °C (–). For a panel that runs warm — say, a packed enclosure near a furnace line — plan the continuous load against the 55 °C or 60 °C column, not the 40 °C nameplate. The 140 mm width on a 4-pole frame means it occupies about 35 mm per pole — typical for this class, so panel cutout layouts for a 3VA2 frame transfer directly. ## Trip unit, auxiliaries, and communication The ETU550 electronic trip unit supports LSIG protection (long-time, short-time, instantaneous, ground-fault) with adjustable curves. A voltage trigger and shunt trip (STL) release are built in, so the breaker can be remotely tripped by a safety PLC or emergency-stop circuit without an add-on module. That gives four discrete signals for status feedback — enough to report open/closed, trip cause, and a separate alarm to a DCS or SCADA without a separate I/O block. Communication function is present, meaning the ETU550 can interface with a communication module for remote monitoring and parameterization over PROFIBUS or PROFINET — useful for a facility that wants breaker-level energy data without a separate power meter per feeder.","metaTitle":"3VA2225-5JP42-0KL0 SENTRON MCCB, 250A, 4-Pole, 187kA at 240V","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5JP42-0KL0 molded case circuit breaker, 250A, 4-pole, breaking capacity 187kA at 240V.
