The steep drop to 4.5 kA at 690 V reflects the AC-1 duty limit of the 250 A frame at elevated voltage; if your system runs 690 V, verify the available fault current stays below that ceiling. Listed as current-production (active lifecycle status). The ETU550 trip unit is the current-generation electronic release for the 3VA2 platform, with communication function onboard — meaning it can integrate with higher-level monitoring systems via the SENTRON communication modules. This is the part you spec into a new BOM or use as a drop-in replacement for an existing 3VA2 installation, not a phase-out candidate. Dimensions: 181 mm height, 140 mm width, 86 mm depth. The 140 mm width on a 4-pole MCCB is standard for the 3VA2 frame — fits the same panel cutout and bus-bar spacing as other 250 A SENTRON 4-pole units. No undervoltage release fitted as standard; if you need UVR, it must be added as an accessory. The SENTRON 3VA2 series carries IEC 60947-2 certification for molded case circuit breakers. The ETU550 release is a Class 1 electronic trip unit per IEC 60947-2 Annex F. Compliance documentation (CE, UKCA, RoHS, REACH) is standard with the brand.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-7JP42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 4-Pole, ETU5","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-7JP42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A continuous, 4-pole, ETU550 release, breaking capacity 330 kA at 240 V.
