Product details

It carries a 1250 A rated operational current in utilisation category AC-23A at 440 V AC (50/60 Hz), meaning it handles the high inrush of motor loads and other inductive switching without derating — not just resistive break. The drawout mounting lets you rack the unit out for safe isolation without disturbing the power wiring, a key feature for panel maintenance or fault isolation in a live enclosure.

Short-time withstand (Icw) is 50 kA for 1 second at 220–440 V — that is the fault current the disconnector can carry without welding or damage until an upstream breaker clears. Short-circuit making capacity (Icm) is 75 kA at the same voltage range, confirming it can close onto a fault without destroying itself.

Mounts on a rail base plate with a drawout mechanism. The connection pitch is 70 mm without a spreader; rear connection supports both vertical and horizontal busbar arrangements. IP30 protection means it is splash-proof against tools and fingers but not water jets — suitable for enclosed switchgear, not washdown areas. The contact position indicator gives a visual open/closed state at a glance, which speeds up lockout-tagout verification.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the ENW13281 and what is the lead time?

The ENW13281 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or lead-time number is published here.

What is the closest alternative to ENW13281 in the EasyPact NW family?

The ENW13281 is a 3-pole 1250 A drawout disconnector. A different pole count or current rating (e.g., 1600 A or 2000 A) would be a different order code within the EasyPact NW range, but no pin-compatible alternative exists — the drawout cradle and busbar pitch are specific to this rating.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for ENW13281?

The ENW13281 is designed to IEC 60947-3 and carries a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V AC, impulse withstand of 12 kV, and pollution degree 3 per IEC 60664-1. Standard Schneider documentation includes the declaration of conformity for the applicable directives; specific RoHS/REACH/UL status should be confirmed from the product certificate available on request.
