Above 50 °C it starts to taper: 238 A at 55 °C, 225 A at 60 °C, 213 A at 65 °C, 200 A at 70 °C (–). ## Built-in communication and auxiliary contacts This variant ships with communication function onboard and a 2-auxiliary-switch plus 1-trip-alarm-switch HQ configuration. That means you get remote status feedback (open/closed/tripped) without adding an external accessory module — handy for a PLC input card or a SCADA digital point. The trip indicator gives a local mechanical flag so the tech on the floor can see what happened before they grab a meter.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-6KP32-0AH0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2225-6KP32-0AH0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated at 40°C, 3-pole, 242 kA at 240 V.
