The 36 A rating at AC-3 (motor switching) covers motors up to roughly 15 kW at 400 V, depending on full-load amps. The thermal overload release handles the running protection; the magnetic short-circuit trip clears faults fast.
S0 frame footprint: 45 mm wide, 97 mm tall, 96 mm deep. That's a standard three-pole MCCB width — fits most DIN-rail enclosures without surprises. Main-circuit terminals accept 2x (0.5…1.5 mm²) solid/stranded or 2x (0.75…2.5 mm²) — AWG equivalents 2x (16…12) and 2x (14…8). Auxiliary terminals are 2x (0.5…1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75…2.5 mm²) — AWG 2x (20…16) and 2x (18…14). Wire it with ferruled stranded or solid — no special crimp tool needed. The transverse auxiliary switch design means the contact block sits alongside the breaker, not stacked on top, keeping the overall height low.
