Built to IEC 60947-3, the standard for disconnect switches, it provides visible isolation for a single pole circuit and carries a rated impulse withstand voltage of 4 kV and a short-time withstand current of 756 A for 300 ms. The part ships as a set of 12 units, each occupying 18 mm (2 x 9 mm pitches) on a DIN rail — a compact footprint for multi-circuit panels. The 63 A rating at 240 V AC is the operational current under AC-22A duty — the utilisation category for switching mixed loads. For purely resistive loads (AC-21A) the same current applies; for motor loads (AC-23A) the switch would be derated, so verify the load type against the AC-22A boundary. The tunnel-type terminals accept up to 35 mm² rigid or 25 mm² flexible conductors, with a tightening torque of 3.5 N·m and a strip length of 9 mm. Pollution degree 2 and tropicalisation class 2 indicate the device is rated for normal indoor environments with non-conductive pollution and occasional condensation — typical for a climate-controlled panel. Each unit occupies 18 mm of rail width (2 modules at 9 mm pitch). The 68.5 mm depth and 81 mm height fit standard distribution board cutouts. Downstream compatibility with biconnect comb busbars simplifies daisy-chaining multiple switches in a row.","metaTitle":"A9KS15163BQ Acti9 SW Switch Disconnector 1P 63A 240V AC","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric A9KS15163BQ Acti9 SW switch disconnector, 1P, 63A at 240V AC, AC-22A.
