It is explicitly a switch disconnector — not a molded case circuit breaker — meaning it provides no overload or short-circuit protection. The product designation and description confirm it is built for isolation and switching duty only, with a latching endurance of 15 000 operations. Two HQ auxiliary switches (changeover contacts) are integrated, providing status feedback for the disconnector position. Rated continuous current Iu = 63 A means this disconnector is sized for a 63 A feeder or motor branch circuit — it must be paired with upstream overcurrent protection (fuse or MCCB) since the device itself has none. The rated insulation voltage Ui = 800 V and maximum operational voltage Ue = 690 V AC / 500 V DC define the system voltage limits; at 690 V AC the part can safely isolate the load. The short-time withstand ratings (Limited To 1 S = 2 kA, Limited To 0.5 S = 2 kA) indicate the disconnector can carry a fault current of 2 kA for up to 1 second without damage — adequate for coordination with upstream protective devices that clear faster. The 3VA1163-1AA36-0DC0 measures 130 mm height × 76.2 mm width × 70 mm depth. Front terminal connection for the main circuit uses clamp-type terminals; the 3-pole footprint matches the standard 3VA1 frame 160 cutout. The auxiliary switches and UVR are factory-installed — no field-assembly of these accessories required, which simplifies BOM line items and panel wiring. An optional motor drive can be added (product extension / optional / motor drive = Yes) for remote switching.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3VA1163-1AA36-0DC0 SENTRON Switch Disconnector, 63 A","metaDescription":"Siemens 3VA1163-1AA36-0DC0 SENTRON switch disconnector, 63 A rated continuous current, 3-pole, 690 V AC / 500 V DC, with undervoltage release 208-230 V AC, 2 HQ auxiliary switches.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB)"],"specifications":{"Depth":"70 mm","Width":"76.2 mm","Height":"130 mm","Limited To 1 S":"2 kA","Trip indicator":"No","Number of poles":"3","Product version":"in MCCB design","Voltage trigger":"No","lifecycle_stage":"current","Limited To 0.5 S":"2 kA","Product brand name":"SENTRON","Product designation":"Switch disconnector","Latching - endurance":"15 000","Undervoltage Release":"Yes","Communication Function":"No","During Storage / Maximum":"80 °C","During Storage / Minimum":"-40 °C","Power loss [W] / maximum":"38 W","Auxiliary contact version":"2 auxiliary switches HQ","During Operation / Maximum":"70 °C","During Operation / Minimum":"-25 °C","Rated continuous current Iu":"63 A","Rated insulation voltage Ui":"800 V","Design of the auxiliary release":"Undervoltage release (UVR)","Protection class IP / on the front":"IP40","Reference code / acc. to DIN EN 81346-2":"Q","Max. rated operational voltage Ue with DC":"500 V","Undervoltage Release With Leading Contact":"No","Product extension / optional / motor drive":"Yes","Number of CO contacts / for auxiliary contacts":"2","Max. rated operational voltage Ue with AC 50/60Hz":"690 V","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":null,"sourceUrl":"https://support.industry.siemens.com/webbackend/api/ProductSupport/TechnicalData?language=en&region=cn&productId=357842&mlfb=3VA1163-1AA36-0DC0","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/3VA1163-1AA36-0DC0/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the difference between 3VA1163-1AA36-0DC0 and 3VA1110-5EE32-0DC0?","answer":"The 3VA1163-1AA36-0DC0 is a switch disconnector with no overload or short-circuit protection, while the 3VA1110-5EE32-0DC0 is a molded case circuit breaker with a TM220 thermal-magnetic release rated 100 A.
