The 3VA1225-6EF32-0AG0: The 250 A rating holds flat from 40 °C to 50 °C; above that it derates smoothly to 223 A at 70 °C. That matters when the breaker lives in a crowded enclosure — if ambient inside the panel hits 60 °C, you lose 13 A of headroom. The auxiliary switch configuration is 1 auxiliary + 1 trip alarm (HP type), which gives a separate signal for fault vs. manual open.
