The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2225-5JP42-0KH0 is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated for continuous 250 A at 40 °C, with a breaking capacity of 187 kA at 240 V AC. That 250 A continuous rating holds up to 50 °C without derating; above that the curve steps down to 200 A at 70 °C (–).
No undervoltage release is included — if you need UVR, plan for an external add-on.

Both are 4-pole SENTRON 3VA2 breakers with the same physical footprint (86 mm depth, 140 mm width, 181 mm height), so mechanical fit is identical. The difference is in the internal trip unit and accessories: 3VA2225-5JP42-0KH0 carries a shunt trip (STL) and communication function, while the -5HN42-0BB0 variant omits those. Wiring for the power terminals is the same; control wiring for the shunt trip and comms must be added if those features are needed.
