The 250 A rating holds from 40 °C through 50 °C ambient; above that it derates linearly to 200 A at 70 °C, which matters if the breaker sits in a hot enclosure or next to other heat sources. This is a line-protection design (not motor-protection), so the trip curve is set for cable and busbar protection. The 86 mm depth (3.39 in) is the dimension to check against gland-plate clearance in shallow cabinets.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2225-8KP32-0LA0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-8KP32-0LA0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A rated, 3-pole, 440 kA at 240 V.
