The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5JP32-0HC0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 250 A continuous at 40 °C, with a breaking capacity of 187 kA at 240 V and 121 kA at 415 V.
Thermal derating is published from 40 °C through 70 °C: it holds 250 A up to 50 °C, then drops to 238 A at 55 °C, 225 A at 60 °C, 213 A at 65 °C, and 200 A at 70 °C.
Yes, it ships with a shunt trip (STL) auxiliary release and two HQ auxiliary switches, plus an onboard communication function. The shunt trip allows remote tripping from a safety circuit or E-stop.
