Three poles, front terminal clamp connections, and a 70 mm depth footprint that matches the rest of the 3VA1 family. DC side is rated to 500 V. The 2 kA short-time withstand at 1 s and 0.5 s confirms it can sit upstream of a branch circuit without self-destructing during a fault — but it is not a breaker, so the downstream protection must clear the fault. ## Auxiliary contacts and integration That is three CO contacts total, wired through the front terminal arrangement. The trip alarm switch signals the open state — useful for remote status monitoring on a panel door or PLC input. Dimensions: 130 mm height, 76.2 mm width, 70 mm depth — the 3VA1 family shares this footprint, so a panel cutout or DIN-rail layout designed for a 3VA1 MCCB accepts this switch disconnector without re-drilling. The 38 W heat dissipation at full load must be factored into the enclosure thermal budget — for a sealed panel with no fan, that is roughly 130 BTU/h to reject.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1163-1AA36-0AH0 SENTRON Switch Disconnector, 63 A","metaDescription":"Siemens SENTRON 3VA1163-1AA36-0AH0 switch disconnector, 63 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, IP40 front, 70 mm depth.
