The Siemens 3VA2325-6HL32-0CA0 is a 3-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated for 250 A continuous current at ambient temperatures from 40 °C to 70 °C with no derating needed — the full 250 A holds across that entire thermal band, so you don't have to oversize for a hot enclosure. Breaking capacity is 242 kA at 240 V AC, dropping to 187 kA at 415 V and 440 V, then 121 kA at 500 V, and 7.5 kA at 690 V — the high interrupt rating at the lower voltages means it handles utility-level fault currents on 240 V services without cascading upstream. Rated current range spans 375 A minimum to 3 000 A maximum, making this a high-current frame suitable for main feeders or large motor branch circuits in industrial distribution.
Fit and integration notes
Maximum power loss is 40 W — relevant for enclosure thermal calculations when multiple breakers are ganged.
