Product details

That 50 A rating holds flat from 40 °C up to 50 °C; above that it derates to 48 A at 55 °C, 47 A at 60 °C, 46 A at 65 °C, and 45 A at 70 °C. For a panel builder, that means you can load the breaker to its full nameplate in a 50 °C enclosure without a derate factor — most competitors start stepping down at 40 °C. Interrupting capacity is the headline here: 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at 690 V. That 75.6 kA at 415 V is what drives the spec for most industrial panels in 400 V class — it gives headroom above typical 50–65 kA available fault currents on large transformers. The 690 V figure (11.9 kA) is lower but still useful for 690 V mining or marine distribution where fault levels are generally lower anyway.

That 101.6 mm width is a standard 4-pole MCCB footprint — it occupies four 25.4 mm (1-inch) modular spaces on a DIN rail or panel-mount base.

What it does not include

The auxiliary release slot is empty — if you need UVR or shunt trip, that's a separate order-code variant. The TM210 release is purely thermal-magnetic; no electronic trip unit, no adjustable long-time or short-time delay curves. For selectivity studies, treat it as a fixed thermal curve with a magnetic pickup around 500 A.

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies 3VA1050-4ED42-0AD0 and how is it quoted for volume purchases?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for your quantity.

What are the key interrupting ratings for 3VA1050-4ED42-0AD0?

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 75.6 kA at 415 V is the rating most relevant for 400 V class industrial distribution.

What is the continuous current rating and how does it derate with temperature?

Rated 50 A continuous from 40 °C to 50 °C. Above that it derates: 48 A at 55 °C, 47 A at 60 °C, 46 A at 65 °C, and 45 A at 70 °C.
