What this breaker is and what the ratings mean for your panel
The Siemens 3VA4195-4ED24-3AA0 is a 2-pole molded case circuit breaker in the 3VA4 family, built on a UL Frame 125 platform. It carries a 25 kA interrupting rating at 480 V AC (breaking capacity class S), which means it can safely clear a fault up to that level without upstream devices needing to trip — a key number for panel SCCR compliance. The TM210 thermal-magnetic trip unit is factory-set: overload protection Ir is fixed at 15 A (the continuous current the breaker carries without nuisance tripping), and short-circuit protection Ii is fixed at 20 × In (300 A instantaneous pickup). No dials to adjust; what you see on the nameplate is what protects the branch circuit.
