The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5JQ32-0AG0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for line protection, carrying 250 A continuous current at 40 °C through 50 °C without derating — the full 250 A holds across that band, then steps down to 238 A at 55 °C and 200 A at 70 °C, so the thermal curve matters when the panel ambient runs hot. Breaking capacity is the headline: 187 kA at 240 V AC, 121 kA at 415 V and 440 V, 79 kA at 500 V, and 5.1 kA at 690 V. The ETU560 electronic trip unit provides adjustable protection curves, communication capability, and a trip indicator.
