The 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 V (187 kA at 415 V, 121 kA at 500 V, 6 kA at 690 V) tells you this breaker can safely interrupt faults up to those levels without cascading upstream — critical for high-fault-current installations like transformer secondaries or large motor control centers. ## Integration into a 3-phase panel This is a 3-pole breaker in the SENTRON 3VA platform, sized at 105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, and 86 mm deep — a standard footprint that fits most Siemens switchboard and panelboard mounting patterns.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-6JP32-0CH0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole, ETU5","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-6JP32-0CH0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, ETU550 electronic trip unit, 242 kA at 240 V.
