This is the SD100 variant — it provides no overload or short-circuit protection, so it functions purely as a load-break disconnect for isolation and switching under load. The shunt trip release (STL) operates on 220-250 V DC or 208-277 V AC, letting you trip it remotely via a control signal. The 160 A rated continuous current (Iu) sets the maximum load it can carry continuously without overheating — sized for a 160 A feeder or a large motor branch circuit where the upstream breaker handles fault protection. The max AC operational voltage is 690 V 50/60 Hz, and max DC is 500 V, covering standard 400 V three-phase panels and 480 V industrial supplies. The front terminal connection accepts clamp-type conductors, common for panel builders who prefer tool-less wiring on the main circuit. The footprint is 70 mm deep by 76.2 mm wide by 130 mm tall — a compact 3-pole frame that mounts on a DIN rail or directly to a backplate. The front terminal arrangement means busbar connections or cable lugs land on the face, not the rear, which simplifies wiring in shallow enclosures. IP40 on the front keeps out tools and fingers but not moisture; install in a dry indoor cabinet or add a cover for washdown areas.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-1AA36-0KC0 SENTRON Switch Disconnector, 160","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1116-1AA36-0KC0 SENTRON switch disconnector, 160 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, shunt trip STL 220-250V DC / 208-277V AC, 2 HQ aux switches, current lifecycle.

The key difference: the 5EE32 is a line-protection breaker with a TM220 thermal-magnetic trip unit (100 A rated), while the 1AA36 is a switch disconnector with no overcurrent protection. They share the same mechanical latching endurance of 15,000 cycles and the same front terminal arrangement, so a panel designed around the 5EE32 could accept the 1AA36 as a disconnect-only replacement if overcurrent protectio"},{"question":"Will 3VA1116-1AA36-0KC0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA1110-5EE32-0JA0 without rewiring?","answer":"Yes — both parts share the same 70 mm depth, 76.2 mm width, 130 mm height, and front terminal arrangement. The mounting footprint and busbar positions are identical, so a direct mechanical swap is possible. The electrical difference is that the 1AA36 is a switch disconnector with no overcurrent protection, while the 5EE32 is a breaker with a TM220 trip unit. If the panel relies on the 5EE32 for branch-circuit protection, replacing it with the 1AA36 shifts that protection upstream."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA1116-1AA36-0KC0","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA1116-1AA36-0KC0 when reusing this data.
