Rated insulation voltage Ui is 800 V, with max operational voltage 690 V AC 50/60 Hz and 500 V DC. The 63 A continuous rating means this disconnect handles motor loads, resistive heaters, or general distribution feeders up to that current. It is not a motor-protective device — there is no thermal-magnetic trip inside — so the branch circuit must already have a properly coordinated MCCB or fuse upstream. The part's job is load-break isolation and visible-open confirmation during lockout/tagout. Front terminal connection accepts lug or clamp terminations (the listing specifies clamp connection). The footprint is 76.2 mm wide by 130 mm tall by 70 mm deep — the same width as a standard 3-pole 160 A frame MCCB from the 3VA series, so it drops into the same panel cutout and bus-bar spacing as the breaker version. ## Auxiliary contacts and integration That gives you two independent signal paths — one for position feedback to a PLC or status light, one for a remote alarm if the disconnect trips (though in a pure disconnect without internal overcurrent release, the alarm switch signals manual operation or an external shunt-trip event). The auxiliary contacts share the same enclosure depth and can be wired without removing the disconnect from the bus. An optional motor drive is listed as available for remote operation, which is useful for automated isolation sequences or remote panels. No undervoltage release or communication module is fitted from the factory — this is a basic disconnect, not a smart breaker.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1163-1AA36-0AG0 SENTRON Switch Disconnector, 63 A","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1163-1AA36-0AG0 switch disconnector, 63 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, in MCCB design.

The disconnect is for isolation and load-break switching only; the breaker adds adjustable overload and short-circuit protection. Both share the same 76.2 mm wide, 70 mm deep footprint and front-terminal layout, so a panel designed for the breaker can accept the disconnect without rewiring the bus."},{"question":"Where can I buy the 3VA1163-1AA36-0AG0?","answer":"This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution.
