It is designed for residential and infrastructure branch-circuit protection per EN 60898 (4.5 kA breaking capacity) and IEC 60947-2 (5 kA).
At 30 °C ambient the breaker carries the full 50 A; at 40 °C it derates to 46.97 A, at 45 °C to 46 A, and at 55 °C to 42.01 A. The 4.5 kA breaking capacity per EN 60898 covers most residential and light commercial fault levels; the 5 kA per IEC 60947-2 gives a small margin for industrial panels with higher prospective short-circuit current.
It is halogen-free and silicon-free, and the housing is sealable for tamper-proofing. The product is designated per EN 61346-2 and IEC 81346-2 as function F (protective device). Touch protection is provided on the terminals. For compliance documentation (RoHS, REACH, CE, UKCA), the manufacturer provides declarations and certificates — these are typically available through the Siemens Industry Online Support portal or can be requested at quote time.
