For a panel that runs warm, the thermal curve is the real selection gate, not the nameplate number. Breaking capacity is where this frame earns its keep: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V. At 690 V it still interrupts 4.5 kA. That SCCR headroom means it can sit upstream of a fault-weak distribution without cascading — a common pain point on high-fault industrial services. The trip unit is adjustable between 375 A and 2500 A, so it can be tuned to protect a specific load rather than swapped for a different frame. Three-pole construction, line-protection design — it is meant for feeder or main breaker duty in a 480Y/277 V or 400 V panel. ## Auxiliaries and integration That UVR means the breaker drops on loss of control voltage — a standard safety feature for emergency-off circuits. The auxiliary switches report position back to a PLC or status lamp without extra wiring. Communication function is built in, so it can talk to a higher-level monitoring system. The basic switch variant (3VA2225-6JP32-0AA0) is the backbone — this order code adds the auxiliaries and UVR on top of that base. That is a standard 3-pole MCCB width — fits the usual DIN-rail or mounting-plate pattern without surprises.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-6JP32-0BH0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2225-6JP32-0BH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 250 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA at 240 V.
