The maximum power loss is 48 W, which contributes to the internal heat rise; factor that into your enclosure ventilation calcs. ## Trip unit and auxiliary configuration The ETU560 electronic trip unit provides adjustable long-time, short-time, instantaneous, and ground-fault protection. Ground-fault monitoring uses summation current formation on the L-conductor — it sums the phase currents to detect imbalance. The breaker includes a voltage trigger and a trip indicator. The integrated shunt trip (STL) allows remote tripping; the basic switch variant is 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AA0, and the auxiliary trip module is 3VA9688-0BL32. No undervoltage release or phase failure detection is fitted on this order code.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-5JQ32-0JH0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole, ETU5","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5JQ32-0JH0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated, 3-pole, ETU560 trip unit.
