It carries an ETU560 electronic trip unit — that's a microprocessor-based release with adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection curves, so you can coordinate selectivity downstream without nuisance trips. At 55 °C it's 238 A, at 60 °C it's 225 A, at 65 °C it's 213 A, and at 70 °C it's 200 A. That derating curve matters if you're packing this breaker into a warm enclosure — the 250 A frame is good for a 200 A continuous load in a 70 °C ambient, no need to oversize the frame. Breaking capacity drops with voltage: 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 5.1 kA at 690 V. ## Integration and panel fit Dimensions: 181 mm height, 105 mm width, 86 mm depth. The ETU560 trip unit supports communication (Communication Function: Yes), so you can integrate it with a BMS or SCADA system for remote monitoring and trip-event logging — useful for condition-based maintenance in critical feeders.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-5JQ32-0BC0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 187 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2225-5JQ32-0BC0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated, 187 kA breaking at 240 V, ETU560 release, active production.
