Product details

The 4-pole construction (3 phases + neutral) suits three-phase four-wire systems where the neutral needs overcurrent protection, common in North American and some IEC commercial installations.

The interrupting ratings span the voltage range a site electrical engineer cares about for SCCR coordination: 121 kA at 240 V AC, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. At 415 V — the common IEC industrial distribution voltage — 75.6 kA gives headroom above typical transformer fault levels (often 50–65 kA), so this breaker can serve as the main or tie in a switchboard without cascading upstream. The 690 V rating at 11.9 kA is lower but still covers most 690 V motor control center fault duties. The TM210 thermal-magnetic release provides fixed thermal and magnetic pickup settings; no electronic adjustability, but that also means no auxiliary power draw and no nuisance tripping from harmonics.

Built-in undervoltage release and panel fit

That means the breaker automatically trips when supply voltage drops below a threshold (typically 35–70 % of rated), protecting downstream equipment from brownout conditions or requiring a deliberate restart after a dip. The UVR is factory-fitted; no field kit needed. Physically, the breaker measures 130 mm high, 101.6 mm wide, and 70 mm deep — a 4-pole MCCB in a compact footprint that fits standard Siemens 3VA panelboard and switchboard mounting patterns.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA1050-4ED42-0BA0 and get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm commercial offer.

What breaking capacity does 3VA1050-4ED42-0BA0 have at 415 V?

75.6 kA at 415 V AC. That covers most industrial transformer fault levels up to that voltage without needing an upstream current-limiting fuse or breaker.

Does this MCCB include an undervoltage release?

Yes, it ships with a factory-fitted undervoltage release (UVR) — not a shunt trip. The UVR trips the breaker when supply voltage drops below the dropout threshold, protecting downstream equipment from undervoltage conditions.

What is the continuous current rating at 40 °C?

50 A at 40 °C ambient. It derates to 45 A at 70 °C, so the actual ampacity depends on enclosure temperature.

What compliance documentation is available for this breaker?

As a Siemens SENTRON MCCB, it carries IEC 60947-2 certification and UL 489 listing. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard from Siemens. Specific certificates are available on request.
