The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5HL42-0HL0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 250 A continuous at 40 °C, with a maximum breaking capacity of 187 kA at 240 V. At 415 V it still holds 121 kA, and at 690 V it drops to 4.5 kA, so the SCCR coordination study needs to match the actual line voltage.
The 4-pole footprint matches the common 4-pole MCCB cutout; verify the busbar spacing if retrofitting into an existing panel. The auxiliary contacts are wired to the same terminal block; the shunt trip coil needs a separate control voltage — watch the polarity on the STL if using DC.
Approvals and documentation
As a SENTRON series MCCB, the 3VA2225-5HL42-0HL0 carries IEC 60947-2 certification by design. Compliance documentation (RoHS, REACH, UL listing per variant) is available from Siemens on request. The basic switch order code is 3VA2225-5HL42-0AA0; the -0HL0 suffix adds the auxiliary switch block and shunt trip.
