The interrupting capacity hits 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V, so it's sized for high-fault industrial panels where selectivity matters. At 55 °C it drops to 240.625 A, at 60 °C to 231.25 A, at 65 °C to 221.875 A, and at 70 °C to 212.5 A. That thermal curve means a panel running at 50 °C ambient still gets full 250 A; push past that and the ETU560 adjusts the trip threshold accordingly. The auxiliary contact block ships as 2 auxiliary switches plus 1 trip-alarm switch (HQ version). ## Panel integration The 4-pole footprint fits standard Siemens SENTRON mounting patterns; the ETU560 interface and communication port are accessible from the front.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-5JQ42-0GH0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 4-pole, ETU5","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5JQ42-0GH0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A continuous, 4-pole, ETU560 release, 187 kA at 240 V.
