Siemens SENTRON 3VA1150-3EF36-0HH0 — 50 A MCCB with shunt trip and auxiliary switches
It carries a continuous current rating of 50 A across the ambient range from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates linearly to 45 A at 70 °C — per the datasheet, that full thermal curve is what governs the real panel loading, not just the 50 A label. Interrupting capacity is voltage-dependent: 75.6 kA at 240 V, 52.5 kA at 415 V, 32 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V.
The breaker occupies a 3-pole footprint: 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall, 70 mm deep. Maximum power dissipation is 14.6 W. In a sealed enclosure with multiple breakers ganged, that figure feeds the thermal rise calculation — derating the 50 A per the curve above 50 °C is the safe practice.
