The continuous rating holds at 250 A from 40 °C up to 50 °C; above that it derates linearly to 200 A at 70 °C. A panel that runs hot near the breaker needs to account for that curve.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-6JP32-0AJ0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole, 242","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-6JP32-0AJ0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA breaking at 240 V.
