The Siemens 3VA1225-5FF42-0AF0 is a 4-pole IEC molded-case circuit breaker on the 250 A frame, rated Icu = 55 kA at 415 V AC — breaking capacity class M. The thermal-magnetic trip unit (TM240) gives you adjustable overload protection from 175 A to 250 A (Ir) and a short-circuit pickup (Ii) that's fixed at 5 to 10 times the rated current In = 250 A. That's a wide magnetic adjustment band — you can coordinate downstream breakers without nuisance tripping on motor inrush.
Deployment context
The auxiliary switch (HQ) and trip alarm switch (HQ) give you remote status feedback: one signals the breaker position, the other flags a trip event.
