Its interrupting ratings tell the real story: 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V. The ETU560 provides LSIG (long-time, short-time, instantaneous, ground-fault) protection; ground-fault sensing uses summation current on L+N conductors. The UVR coil must be energized for the breaker to close — a standard safety interlock for emergency-stop circuits. IP40 protection on the front means the breaker is touch-safe against tools and wires but not sealed against dust ingress — suitable for indoor panel mounting only. Current derating is needed above 55 °C: 240.625 A at 55 °C, 231.25 A at 60 °C, 221.875 A at 65 °C, and 212.5 A at 70 °C.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-7JQ42-0DC0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 4-Pole, 330","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-7JQ42-0DC0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated, 4-pole, ETU560 release, 330 kA at 240 V.
