The continuous current derates with ambient temperature: 250 A holds through 50 °C, then steps down to 238 A at 55 °C, 225 A at 60 °C, 213 A at 65 °C, and 200 A at 70 °C — meaning a panel running at 60 °C ambient loses 10 % of the breaker's ampacity, and you'd size the upstream feed accordingly. The 3-pole body occupies roughly 4 inches of rail width; plan for the 86 mm depth when routing busbars or cable ladders behind the panel gland plate. Maximum power loss is 50.5 W, which contributes to the enclosure's thermal budget — in a sealed cabinet, that loss plus the other breakers in the same row may push the internal temperature above 50 °C, triggering the derating curve noted above. The trip indicator gives a local mechanical flag for fault events. No ground-fault monitoring version is fitted — that function is external if required.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-6KP32-0CH0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole, 242","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-6KP32-0CH0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A continuous, 3-pole, 242 kA at 240 V.
