Three poles magnetic breaker
Explanation:
A magnetic breaker is a protection device which disengage due to a strong magnetic field generated by a short circuit. Three poles because it is probably protecting a 3 phase electric motor.

Three-pole magnetic circuit breaker


Explanation:
PROTECTIVE DEVICES:

The entire unit is to be protected against overload and short circuit with a fully ***magnetic circuit breaker*** of proper rating connected between the A.C. supply and transformer primary.

Circuit breakers shall have two poles for single phase units and three poles for three phase units. In the case of silicon rectifiers only, fuses shall be inserted in one leg of the A.C. secondary of single phase units and in at least two of the secondary legs of a three phase unit. All fuses greater than 35 amps shall be bolt in style and shall not rely on pressure type fuseholders.
