Breaking capacity is the headline: 121 kA at 240 V, 75.6 kA at 415 V, 52.5 kA at 440 V, and 11.9 kA at both 500 V and 690 V. Thermal derating is straightforward: full 50 A from 40 °C through 50 °C, then a gradual drop — 49 A at 55 °C, 48 A at 60 °C, 46 A at 65 °C, 45 A at 70 °C. Power loss at rated load is 14.6 W — negligible for a single breaker but worth summing if you're packing a dozen into a sealed enclosure.
Dimensions: 130 mm height, 101.6 mm width, 70 mm depth. IP40 on the front.
