At 415 V and 440 V it holds 330 kA; at 500 V it's 220 kA. That's serious fault-current headroom for a 250 A frame — the kind of rating that lets you avoid cascading upstream breakers in a high-SCCR panel. ## Integration and physical fit That 86 mm depth (3.4 in) is the critical number for gland-plate clearance in a shallow backpanel — verify your enclosure depth before committing the cutout. Three-pole block, no auxiliary contact version fitted as standard. ## Auxiliary release and communication Maximum power loss is 48 W.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-8KP32-0BA0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-8KP32-0BA0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, line protection.

While both are 3-pole 250 A MCCBs, the physical footprint and accessory compatibility differ — the 3VA2 frame is deeper (86 mm vs the 5SQ's typical 70 mm range).
