That AC-23A utilisation category covers switching of motor loads and other highly inductive circuits — not just resistive break — so it handles the inrush and making/breaking demands of large motors, transformers, or capacitor banks. It is certified for isolation per IEC 60947-3, meaning you can rely on the visible contact position indicator to confirm a safe disconnect for downstream work. ## Key ratings — the so-what for your panel Rated short-time withstand current (Icw) is 50 kA for 1 second, or 25 kA for 3 seconds, at ambient up to 70 °C. That 50 kA for 1 s is the number you coordinate with upstream protection — if your fault-clearing device clears in under a second, the switch stays intact and the arc does not propagate. The rated short-circuit making capacity (Icm) is 105 kA peak AC, which covers the asymmetrical first peak of a fault. Electrical endurance: 5000 cycles at 440 V, 2500 cycles at 690 V, both AC-23A without maintenance. That is in line with a heavy-duty disconnector that sees regular load switching, not just infrequent isolation. Fixed-mount on a base plate — not DIN-rail. The rear connection pitch is 115 mm without a spreader. Dimensions: 422 mm wide × 352 mm high × 297 mm deep.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric ENW24179 EasyPact NW Switch Disconnector,","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric ENW24179 EasyPact NW switch disconnector, 3200 A rated operational current (AC-23A at 690 V), 3 poles, fixed mount, IEC 60947-3, active production, available to","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Air Circuit Breakers"],"specifications":{"Depth":"297 mm","Range":"EasyPact","Width":"422 mm","title":"ENW24179","Height":"352 mm","Standards":"IEC 60947-3","Rated duty":"Continuous","description":"switch disconnector, EasyPact NW, 3200A, N, 3 Poles, fixed","Control type":"Push-button","Network type":"AC","Mounting mode":"Fixed","lifecycle_stage":"current","Connection pitch":"115 mm without spreader","Mounting support":"Base plate","Pollution degree":"4 conforming to IEC 60664-1","Range of product":"EasyPact NW","Device short name":"ENW32N","Network frequency":"50/60 Hz","Poles description":"3P","Device application":"Distribution","Connection position":"Horizontal Vertical","Utilisation category":"AC-23A","Electrical durability":"AC-23A: 5000 cycles 440 V AC 50/60 Hz without maintenance conforming to IEC 60947-3 AC-23A: 2500 cycles 690 V AC 50/60 Hz without maintenance conforming to IEC 60947-3","Mechanical durability":"20000 cycles with maintenance conforming to IEC 60947-3 10000 cycles without maintenance conforming to IEC 60947-3","Location of connection":"Rear","IP degree of protection":"IP40","Product or component type":"Switch disconnector","Suitability for isolation":"Yes conforming to IEC 60947-3","Contact position indicator":"Yes","[Ui] rated insulation voltage":"1000 V AC 50/60 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-3","[Ie] rated operational current":"AC-23A: 3200 A AC 50/60 Hz 690 V","[Ue] rated operational voltage":"690 V AC 50/60 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-3","Ambient air temperature for storage":"-40...85 °C without control unit","Ambient air temperature for operation":"-5...70 °C","[Uimp] rated impulse withstand voltage":"12 kV conforming to IEC 60947-3","[Icw] rated short-time withstand current":"50 kA during 1 s conforming to IEC 60947-3 at -5...70 °C 25 kA during 3 s conforming to IEC 60947-3 at -5...70 °C","[Icm] rated short-circuit making capacity":"105 kA AC at 50/60 Hz"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/1e1d4acaa04db091e0d0f6ea6aa4893d.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/ae/en/product/ENW24179/switch-disconnector-easypact-nw-3200a-n-3-poles-fixed/"},"ai":{"faq":[],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/ENW24179","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/ENW24179 when reusing this data.
