It provides visible isolation and safe disconnection under load, but it carries no overload or short-circuit protection: this is a dedicated disconnect, not a circuit breaker. The 160 A rating means it can handle the full rated current of a motor feeder or distribution branch without nuisance tripping, since there is no thermal or magnetic trip element to coordinate. Rated insulation voltage Ui is 800 V, and the maximum operational voltage is 690 V AC 50/60 Hz or 500 V DC. It also includes 2 HQ auxiliary contacts (changeover), so you get status feedback without adding a separate aux block. The 3VA frame shares a 70 mm depth, 76.2 mm width, and 130 mm height with other 3VA1 devices. Front terminal connections for the main circuit use clamp-type terminals — no lug crimping required. The two HQ auxiliary switches are factory-fitted and wired to the same terminal block. The undervoltage release coil is 24 V DC; verify polarity and that the control supply is stable — a dip below dropout voltage will open the disconnector.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-1AA36-0BC0 Switch Disconnector, 160 A, 3-Pol","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1116-1AA36-0BC0 switch disconnector, 160 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, with undervoltage release 24 V DC and 2 HQ auxiliary switches.
