Insulation voltage is rated 800 V, so the breaker is suitable for 480/277 V and 600/347 V systems with margin. Communication function is onboard, which for the 3VA2 platform typically means a modular communication-capable trip unit that can report status and measured values over a fieldbus gateway — useful for remote monitoring without adding an external power meter. ## Lifecycle and compliance posture For compliance documentation: the 3VA2 series carries CE marking under the Low Voltage Directive, UL 489 listing for the North American market, and RoHS/REACH declarations from Siemens. The ground-fault monitoring variant (summation current) meets the requirements of IEC 60947-2 Annex B for residual current protection.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA2125-6KQ42-0AA0 SENTRON MCCB, 25 A, 4-Pole, 242 k","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA2125-6KQ42-0AA0 molded case circuit breaker, 25 A continuous, 4-pole, 242 kA breaking capacity at 240 V.
