The 250 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C, then derates linearly to 200 A at 70 °C — critical overhead for panels packed near heat sources. Short-circuit interrupting capacity reaches 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415/440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. Power loss at full rated current is 48 W maximum. In a sealed enclosure with multiple breakers ganged, account for that dissipation in the thermal budget — 250 A continuous through the poles generates measurable heat. Communication function is built in — the ETU550 supports optional communication modules for remote monitoring and trip-event logging. ## Environmental & Compliance Insulation voltage rated at 800 V. The 3VA2 series carries UL, CSA, and IEC certifications typical for SENTRON — compliance documentation including RoHS and REACH declarations is available through Siemens support channels.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-6JP42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 4-pole, 250 A, ETU5","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2225-6JP42-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 4-pole, 250 A continuous, ETU550 electronic trip, 242 kA at 240 V.

The sharp drop at 690 V is normal for MCCBs — arc extinction in air is less efficient at higher voltages."},{"question":"Will 3VA2225-6JP42-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 5SQ2670-2YA63?","answer":"Not directly. The 5SQ2670 series is a different Siemens product family with different mounting footprint and busbar interface. The 3VA2 uses a 140 mm wide body versus the 5SQ's narrower frame. Panel cutouts and busbar drilling would need rework."},{"question":"How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2225-6JP42-0AA0?","answer":"Submit an RFQ through this listing.
