Breaking capacity is voltage-dependent: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 6 kA at 690 V. On a 480 V distribution bus that 187 kA figure gives substantial SCCR headroom for coordination studies — it interrupts fault currents without cascading upstream. Communication function is present on this variant, which means it can report status and accept remote commands over the plant network, though the specific protocol is not detailed in this listing. This is a 3-pole device with no auxiliary contact version fitted and no ground-fault monitoring. ## Physical fit — dimensions and panel integration The 105 mm width for a 3-pole 250 A frame is consistent with SENTRON 3VA2 family panel cutouts — verify the existing busbar spacing if retrofitting into an older panel. ## Electrical and environmental limits Mechanical endurance is 20,000 operations.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-6JP32-0CA0 SENTRON MCCB, 250A, 3-Pole, ETU55","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2225-6JP32-0CA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 250A continuous, 3-pole, ETU550 electronic trip unit, 242kA at 240V.
