Its job is safe isolation under load, specified for a panel where the upstream device handles the fault interruption and this part acts as a service disconnect. Rated for 690 V AC at 50/60 Hz and 500 V DC, with a rated insulation voltage Ui of 800 V. No undervoltage release, no voltage trip, no communication module. Optional motor drive can be added via the product extension slot. Footprint is 70 mm deep, 76.2 mm wide, 130 mm tall — standard 3-pole MCCB cutout for the SENTRON 3VA1 family. Front terminals accept clamp connections for the main circuit. The 3VA1163-1AA36-0AC0 is a switch disconnector — same housing, same footprint, but no trip unit. If your panel was designed around the 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0, this part will drop into the same cutout and bus connection, but it will not provide the overcurrent protection that breaker does. The two share the auxiliary switch configuration (2 HQ), the IP40 front rating, and the 690 V AC / 500 V DC voltage ratings. The deciding factor: do you need a service disconnect or a protective device?","metaTitle":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1163-1AA36-0AC0 Switch Disconnector, 63 A","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1163-1AA36-0AC0 3-pole switch disconnector, 63 A rated continuous current, 690 V AC / 500 V DC, 2 HQ auxiliary switches.

The swap is a drop-in for the bus bars and mounting screws. The critical difference is that the 3VA1163-1AA36-0AC0 provides no overcurrent protection; the upstream protective device must cover that function."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/siemens/3VA1163-1AA36-0AC0","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/3VA1163-1AA36-0AC0 when reusing this data.
