The 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 V (187 kA at 415 V, 121 kA at 500 V, 6 kA at 690 V) gives serious fault-current headroom for distribution panels downstream of large transformers. An integrated undervoltage release (UVR) is built in; auxiliary contacts are not included on this variant. ## Thermal derating — the real-world current limit Above that it steps down: 241 A at 55 °C, 232 A at 60 °C, 222 A at 65 °C, and 213 A at 70 °C. If your panel ambient runs 60 °C, you're sizing for 232 A continuous, not 250. ## Environmental limits","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-6HL32-0CA0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 242 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-6HL32-0CA0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated, 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
