The Siemens 3VA1116-1AA36-0AG0 is a SENTRON 3-pole switch disconnector in a molded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) physical design, rated 160 A continuous at 40 °C through 50 °C. It provides no overload or short-circuit protection — it is a straight disconnect for isolation and switching duty, not a protective device. The front terminal connection accepts standard lug or clamp terminations for the main circuit.
Thermal performance and derating
Above 50 °C the current must be derated: 158 A at 55 °C, 155 A at 60 °C, 153 A at 65 °C, and 150 A at 70 °C. Maximum power dissipation is 38 W at rated load.
Voltage ratings and auxiliary configuration
Rated insulation voltage 800 V, operating voltage 690 V AC and 500 V DC. Mechanical service life is 15,000 operating cycles typical.
Panel fit and protection
Front face is IP40 rated. The MCCB-style footprint matches standard 3VA100/3VA110 cutouts and busbar systems. Optional motor drive available for remote operation.
