Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5HL32-0KA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 250 A continuous current (Iu) at 40 °C, with the ETU320 electronic trip unit configured for line protection.

Full 250 A holds through 50 °C ambient. At 55 °C it derates to 241 A, at 60 °C to 232 A, at 65 °C to 222 A, and at 70 °C to 213 A. The maximum power loss is 48 W, which matters for enclosure heat rise calculations when grouping several breakers.

Trip unit and auxiliary release configuration

The ETU320 overcurrent release provides electronic trip curves for line protection — no ground-fault monitoring, no phase-failure detection, no communication module. The shunt trip (STL) is built in for remote tripping; the integrated auxiliary trip is order code 3VA9688-0BL33. No auxiliary contact version is fitted, and there is no undervoltage release. The supplied basic switch is 3VA2225-5HL32-0AA0.

Environmental limits and endurance

The latching endurance is rated at 20 000 operations — adequate for distribution duty where the breaker is not cycled daily.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of this MCCB at different voltages?

187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 121 kA at 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 5.1 kA at 690 V. The 690 V figure is low enough that coordination studies should verify it for that voltage level.

Where can I buy 3VA2225-5HL32-0KA0?

Sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or lead-time figure is published here.

Will 3VA2225-5HL32-0KA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0 without rewiring?

No — the 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0 is a different frame size with lower current and different dimensions. The 3VA2225 is physically larger (105 mm wide vs the smaller frame) and requires its own mounting footprint and busbar connections.
