The Siemens 3VA1150-4EF32-0CA0 is a 3-pole SENTRON molded case circuit breaker rated for 50 A continuous current (Iu) at 40 °C, with an 800 V rated insulation voltage (Ui). The headline number here is the interrupting capacity: 121 kA at 240 V AC, 75.6 kA at 415 V, and 52.5 kA at 440 V — that's serious fault-clearing headroom for a 50 A frame. An undervoltage release (UVR) is built in, so if your safety circuit or E-stop drops the control voltage, this breaker trips without a separate shunt-trip coil.
Footprint is 130 mm high, 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep — standard 3VA frame size that clips onto a DIN rail or mounts with screws. The IP40 front rating means it's fine inside a closed enclosure; keep it out of direct washdown zones. No auxiliary contacts are fitted on this variant (order code ends -0CA0), so if you need a status feedback signal to a PLC, you'll add a 3VA9608-0BB24 auxiliary trip block separately.
Above that it derates: 48 A at 55 °C, 47 A at 60 °C, 46 A at 65 °C, 45 A at 70 °C. The TM240 trip unit's thermal element tracks that curve, so you don't need to manually down-rate the breaker setting.
