It is designed for load-break isolation without overload or short-circuit protection (no trip unit, no undervoltage release, no auxiliary contacts). The front-terminal clamp connection and IP40 front face suit panel-mount distribution boards where a visible-break disconnect is required ahead of downstream protection. ## Current rating across temperature — the real working limit Above that, the thermal derating is gradual: 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. Dimensions: 130 mm height, 101.6 mm width, 70 mm depth. The front terminal arrangement and clamp connection accept copper or aluminium conductors. Maximum power dissipation is 38 W at rated load. ## Mechanical endurance and optional motor drive Typical mechanical service life is 15,000 operating cycles. The product accepts an optional motor drive (field-installable) for remote switching, though no communication function is built in. No auxiliary contacts or releases are included on this variant.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1116-1AA46-0AA0 SENTRON Switch Disconnector, 160","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1116-1AA46-0AA0 SENTRON switch disconnector, 160 A at 40 °C, 4-pole, 690 V AC / 600 V DC, IP40 front, active production, sourced to order.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB)"],"specifications":{"Depth":"70 mm","Width":"101.6 mm","Height":"130 mm","at 40 °C":"160 A","at 45 °C":"160 A","at 50 °C":"160 A","at 55 °C":"158 A","at 60 °C":"155 A","at 65 °C":"153 A","at 70 °C":"150 A","Trip Indicator":"No","Number Of Poles":"4","Voltage Trigger":"No","lifecycle_stage":"current","Product Brand Name":"SENTRON","Product Designation":"Switch disconnector","Undervoltage Release":"No","Design Of The Product":"in MCCB design","During Storage / Maximum":"80 °C","During Storage / Minimum":"-40 °C","power loss [W] / maximum":"38 W","During Operation / Maximum":"70 °C","During Operation / Minimum":"-25 °C","Design Of The Auxiliary Switch":"Without","Design Of The Auxiliary Release":"without","Insulation Voltage / Rated Value":"800 V","protection class IP / on the front":"IP40","operating voltage / at AC / rated value":"690 V","operating voltage / at DC / rated value":"600 V","Product Function / Communication Function":"No","Undervoltage Release With Leading Contact":"No","reference code / according to IEC 81346-2":"Q","Product Extension / Optional / Motor Drive":"Yes","number of CO contacts / for auxiliary contacts":"0","Mechanical Service Life (Operating Cycles) / Typical":"15 000","Type Of Electrical Connection / For Main Current Circuit":"Terminal connection","Arrangement Of Electrical Connectors / For Main Current Circuit":"Front terminal"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/7c47a604b3ffc754f733e78c12454279.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://support.industry.siemens.com/webbackend/api/ProductSupport/TechnicalData?language=en&region=cn&productId=232517&mlfb=3VA1116-1AA46-0AA0","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/3VA1116-1AA46-0AA0/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 3VA1116-1AA46-0AA0 and get a price?","answer":"This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ.
