Breaking capacity lands at 440 kA at 240 V, 330 kA at 415/440 V, 242 kA at 500 V, and 50.4 kA at 690 V — numbers that tell you this breaker is built for high-fault utility infeed or large motor control center main service, not branch protection. ## Trip unit and release setup The ETU320 electronic trip unit provides LI (long-time and instantaneous) protection — no ground-fault or voltage-trip function on this variant. An undervoltage release (UVR) is integrated as standard, part number 3VA9608-0BB11 for the release coil itself. No auxiliary contacts, no communication module, no phase-failure detection on this build — it's a clean line-protection breaker for applications where those extras aren't wired into the control scheme. ## Thermal derating and endurance ## Production status and sourcing posture This part carries a current production lifecycle stage.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-8HL32-0BA0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 440 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-8HL32-0BA0 molded case circuit breaker. 250 A rated continuous current, 440 kA breaking at 240 V.
