Its breaking capacity reaches 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V, and 50.4 kA at 690 V — figures that govern fault-clearing capability at the panel's service voltage. The 250 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 213 A at 70 °C — a thermal curve that matters when the breaker sits in a warm enclosure alongside other heat sources. The breaker measures 105 mm wide, 181 mm high, and 86 mm deep — a standard SENTRON 3VA2 footprint that fits existing Siemens switchboard and distribution-panel cutouts. The 440 kA at 240 V and 330 kA at 415 V are the maximum prospective short-circuit currents the breaker can safely interrupt — numbers that drive coordination studies for the upstream transformer and downstream feeders. At 690 V the rating drops to 50.4 kA, which still covers most industrial 690 V distribution faults. The ETU320 release provides fixed I²t-on and I²t-off curves for selective coordination with downstream 3VA1 or 3VA2 breakers.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-8HL32-0AB0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 440 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-8HL32-0AB0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated continuous current, 440 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
