This MCCB delivers 440 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V, 330 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 220 kA at 500 V, and 52.5 kA at 690 V. Those are the maximum fault currents it can safely clear at each voltage level. The 690 V rating (52.5 kA) is what you'd check for 600 V class Canadian or mining installations. ## Thermal performance — it holds 250 A across the board That's unusual for an MCCB; most frames start dropping current above 40 °C. The ETU320's thermal memory means it tracks prior heating, so repetitive overloads close to the threshold won't sneak through. The ETU320's adjustment dials are accessible through the front cover without removing the breaker. ## Environmental limits The storage limits are wider because the breaker isn't carrying current — no self-heating to worry about.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2325-8HL32-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 250 A, 3-Pole, ETU3","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA2325-8HL32-0AA0 SENTRON molded case circuit breaker, 250 A continuous, 3-pole, ETU320 release.

For a 480 V system, interpolate between those — expect roughly 275 kA, but the 330 kA at 440 V is the conservative reference for coordination studies."},{"question":"Where can I buy 3VA2325-8HL32-0AA0?","answer":"This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels.
