Product details

The Siemens 3VA1116-1AA32-0BC0 is a SENTRON switch disconnector in an MCCB-style frame — 3-pole, rated for 160 A continuous current (Iu), with a maximum AC operating voltage of 690 V and DC of 500 V. It has no overload or short-circuit protection built in; this is a pure disconnect and isolate device, not a circuit breaker. The 24 V DC undervoltage release (UVR) trips the switch when control voltage drops, so it doubles as a safety interlock or emergency-stop element in a control circuit. Two HQ auxiliary contacts signal the main contact position back to the PLC or panel indication.

Front terminals with busbar connection — it's designed to bolt into a power distribution bus, not to land individual cables on each lug. The 70 mm depth, 76.2 mm width, and 130 mm height match the 3VA frame-160 footprint, so it shares the same panel cutout and busbar spacing as the breaker versions in the same family.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this switch disconnector and a molded case circuit breaker like 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0?

The 3VA1116-1AA32-0BC0 is a pure switch disconnector — it has no overcurrent release, no short-circuit protection, and no interrupting capacity rating. The 3VA1112-5EF32-0CA0 is a full MCCB with a TM240 thermal-magnetic trip unit, rated for fault interruption up to 187 kA at 240 V. Both share the same frame-160 footprint, busbar spacing, and mounting dimensions, so one can replace the other in a panel without rewiring — but the circuit breaker provides protection the disconnector does not.

Where can I buy 3VA1116-1AA32-0BC0 and how is it quoted?

Sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or lead-time number is published here.

What are the key ratings of this switch disconnector?

Rated continuous current Iu 160 A, max AC operating voltage 690 V, max DC operating voltage 500 V, 3 poles, with a 24 V DC undervoltage release and 2 HQ auxiliary switches.
