Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-8HL32-0AH0 — 250 A MCCB for Line Protection
It carries a 440 kA interrupting capacity at 240 VAC, dropping to 330 kA at 415/440 VAC, 220 kA at 500 VAC, and 52.5 kA at 690 VAC — so the available fault current at your service voltage is the number that governs whether this breaker clears a bolted fault without cascading upstream.
Thermal Derating and Continuous Current
Above that it derates: 241 A at 55 °C, 232 A at 60 °C, 222 A at 65 °C, and 213 A at 70 °C.
Physical Fit and Auxiliary Configuration
Environmental and Electrical Margins
Maximum power dissipation is 48 W at rated load — a factor to include in enclosure thermal calculations if you're packing multiple breakers in a small cabinet.
