Maximum power loss is 50.5 W — that heat has to be dissipated through the enclosure walls or forced ventilation. ## Auxiliary and trip accessories That gives you status feedback for PLC or SCADA: one set for breaker open/closed, one for trip condition, and one for electrical alarm. The basic switch is order code 3VA2225-8HL32-0AA0; the integrated auxiliary trip is 3VA9608-0BB24 — useful if you need to order spares or replacement sub-assemblies.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-8HL32-0CL0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 440 kA at 24","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-8HL32-0CL0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated, 440 kA interrupting at 240 V.
