It's built for line protection — main feeder or large subfeed duty in a panel — not for motor protection or ground-fault monitoring. The 50 A rating holds flat from 40 °C up to 50 °C ambient; above that it derates to 49 A at 55 °C and 45 A at 70 °C, so if your enclosure runs hot, that's the number that matters for the BOM.
Breaking capacity — where it fits
This MCCB delivers 187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, and 75.6 kA at 440 V — numbers that put it in the high-interrupting category for a 50 A frame. At 500 V and 690 V it holds 17 kA, which is solid for industrial 480/277 V or 600 V systems. For a 400/415 V panel feeding a 50 A load, you've got enough SCCR headroom to coordinate with most upstream transformers or larger feeders without cascading.
Dimensions: 130 mm high, 101.6 mm wide, 70 mm deep — a 4-pole frame that fits standard Siemens MCCB mounting.
