The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2220-7MP32-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for 200 A continuous current across the full -25 °C to 70 °C operating range — no derating needed up to 70 °C. It is designed specifically for motor protection, with an adjustable trip class (10A, 10/10E, 20/20E, 30) and a minimum trip time of 3 s, maximum 15 s. The breaking capacity hits 330 kA at 240 V, 242 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 187 kA at 500 V, and 5.2 kA at 690 V. That kind of SCCR headroom means it can sit upstream of a motor starter in a high-fault panel without worrying about cascading failures.
The adjustable trip class (10A, 10/10E, 20/20E, 30) lets you match the overload curve to the motor's thermal capacity; a 10E class is tight for a high-inertia load, while 30 gives more time for starting current. Communication function is present, which means it can talk to a PLC or BMS for remote trip indication — no separate shunt trip needed for that.
The 3-pole design with no undervoltage release means it's a straight power path — no extra coil to fail.
