The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-6HL32-0DL0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 250 A continuous current at 40 °C, and it holds that full rating through 50 °C before it begins to derate — at 55 °C it carries 241 A, at 60 °C it carries 232 A, at 65 °C it carries 222 A, and at 70 °C it carries 213 A. That means for a panel running at 50 °C ambient, you get the full 250 A without oversizing the frame; above that, the thermal curve governs the real load you can protect. The interrupting ratings are what decide whether this breaker clears a fault without cascading upstream: 242 kA at 240 V, 187 kA at 415 V and at 440 V, 121 kA at 500 V, and 4.5 kA at 690 V.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy 3VA2225-6HL32-0DL0 and how is it quoted?
This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
Will 3VA2225-6HL32-0DL0 drop into a panel specified around a 3VA1110 frame without rewiring?
No — the 3VA2225 frame is physically larger (105 mm wide, 181 mm tall, 86 mm deep) than the 3VA1110 frame, so it will not fit the same panel cutout or DIN-rail spacing without enclosure modification.
What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this MCCB?
The evidence does not list specific compliance documents (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC) for this order code; consult the basic switch datasheet or the manufacturer for the full declaration.
