The 50 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 48 A at 55 °C and 45 A at 70 °C — so in a warm enclosure you lose about 10 % at the top end. Breaking capacity runs 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V. The UVR means the breaker drops open if control voltage falls below the dropout threshold — common on safety circuits or E-stop strings where loss of control power should also kill the load. The trip alarm switch gives a separate signal when the breaker trips on fault, not just when manually opened, which is useful for remote annunciation or PLC fault-logging.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy 3VA1050-4ED36-0BH0 and how is it quoted?
This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.
Will 3VA1050-4ED36-0BH0 drop into a panel specified for 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0?
No. The 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a physically larger frame with a different rating and footprint. The 3VA1050-4ED36-0BH0 will not fit the same panel cutout or bus connections without rewiring.
What is the breaking capacity of 3VA1050-4ED36-0BH0 at 415 V?
75.6 kA at 415 V AC. That is the rating most relevant for 400 V-class industrial distribution panels.
What auxiliary contacts does 3VA1050-4ED36-0BH0 include?
It ships with 2 auxiliary switches and 1 trip alarm switch (HQ version), plus an undervoltage release (UVR) as the auxiliary release.
