The Live CA450C 4 Pole MCB is a heavy-duty industrial-grade miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide comprehensive protection for three-phase systems requiring simultaneous neutral conductor switching in demanding applications with large inductive loads. Rated at 50 Amps with a C-curve tripping characteristic, this 4-pole breaker safeguards all three phases and the neutral conductor on AC systems up to 400V at 50/60Hz frequency. It delivers robust protection against overloads and short circuits, making it the ideal choice for industrial main distribution boards, large motor circuits (up to 22kW/30HP), industrial compressors, heavy pumps, and manufacturing equipment where complete isolation of all conductors is essential for operational safety. With a substantial 6kA breaking capacity and precision thermo-magnetic release, the CA450C ensures equipment protection and personnel safety in demanding industrial environments.

Key Features of Live CA450C 50A 4P MCB

  • Complete 4-Pole Industrial Protection: Simultaneously protects and switches all three phases (L1, L2, L3) and neutral (N), ensuring complete circuit isolation for heavy industrial applications with large inductive loads.

  • Heavy-Duty C-Curve Characteristic: Trips instantaneously at 5-10 times rated current (250A to 500A), handling large motors, compressors, and transformers with significant inrush currents.

  • Ideal Industrial Main Distribution Rating: 50A per pole provides substantial capacity for industrial main distribution boards and large motor circuits up to 22kW (30HP).

  • Integrated Neutral Switching: Neutral pole disconnects simultaneously with phases, preventing floating neutral conditions and ensuring complete safety during maintenance.

  • Reliable Breaking Capacity: Certified 6kA rating ensures safe interruption of fault currents, protecting expensive industrial equipment.

  • Precision Thermo-Magnetic Release: Thermal bimetal strip for overload protection and magnetic solenoid for short-circuit response across all four poles.

  • Superior Electrical Isolation: 4000V impulse withstand rating and 500V insulation voltage for protection against voltage transients.

  • Extended Operational Life: 8,000 electrical operations for long-term reliability in demanding industrial duty cycles.

  • Professional Installation: DIN-rail mounting with IP20 finger-safe terminals and 16mm² wiring capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What are the main applications for the CA450C 50A 4P MCB?
Industrial motor circuits up to 22kW (30HP), large compressors, heavy pumps, industrial main distribution, HVAC chillers, conveyor systems, and manufacturing equipment requiring neutral switching.

2. What motor power can this 50A breaker handle?
DOL start: up to 18.5kW (25HP). Star-delta/soft start: up to 22kW (30HP). VFD applications: up to 25kW (33HP). Always verify motor starting characteristics.

3. Why choose 4-pole over 3-pole for heavy industrial applications?
Provides complete isolation of all conductors including neutral, required for IT earthing systems, VFDs, CNC machines, robotic systems, and safety compliance with IEC 60204.

4. What cable size is recommended for 50A industrial circuits?
16mm² minimum, 25mm² recommended for runs over 20m (requires external termination as breaker accepts max 16mm²). Consider parallel 16mm² cables for longer runs.

5. When is 4-pole switching mandatory for industrial installations?
IT earthing systems, generator changeover panels, marine/offshore installations, chemical plants, mining operations, and where equipment manufacturers specify complete isolation.
