Breaking capacity is 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and still 75.6 kA at 500 V — that kind of interrupting rating means this breaker can sit at the main or a large feeder where fault currents are high, not just downstream on a light subfeed. At 690 V it still clears 7.5 kA, enough for most 690 V motor circuits in mining conveyors or mill drives. ## Line protection with a shunt trip — what that means in a panel The shunt trip lets a remote PLC or emergency-stop circuit open the breaker electrically — useful when you need to kill a feeder from a control room or a safety relay without sending a technician to the panel. Dimensions are 248 mm tall, 138 mm wide, 110 mm deep — standard footprint for a 250 A frame in the SENTRON 3VA platform. It fits the same panel cutout and bus-bar spacing as the rest of the 3VA2 family, so swapping from a lower-rated frame or replacing an older 3VF doesn't require re-drilling the mounting plate. The 250 A continuous rating at 70 °C ambient is unusual — most breakers start derating above 40 °C. Here the thermal-magnetic or electronic trip unit is sized so that at 70 °C the breaker still carries its full nameplate without nuisance tripping. For a panel that sits near a hot process or a VFD cabinet, that headroom matters more than a higher number that collapses when the panel door closes. For a multi-breaker lineup, add that per pole and check your enclosure's dissipation rating; at 250 A per breaker, three breakers side by side push over 110 W into the cabinet.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2325-5HL32-0JA0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole, 187","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2325-5HL32-0JA0 molded case circuit breaker, 250 A continuous, 3-pole, 187 kA breaking at 240 V.
