The ENW13282 is a 3-pole switch disconnector from the Schneider Electric EasyPact NW range, rated for 1600 A in AC-23A duty at 440 V AC. The drawout mounting lets you rack the unit out for maintenance or replacement without disturbing the main bus connections — a real time-saver in switchgear where uptime matters.
The headline number is 1600 A at 440 V in AC-23A — that's the motor-switching rating, not a resistive-heater rating. If your load is a 1600 A motor starter feeder or a distribution main with motor-heavy downstream, this is the right curve. The short-time withstand (Icw) is 50 kA for 1 second at 220–440 V, and the making capacity (Icm) is 75 kA at the same voltage range. That tells you the switch can survive a bolted fault and close onto a short without welding contacts — critical for selectivity in a distribution panel. IP30 protection on the switch itself is typical for enclosed switchgear — the enclosure provides the higher IP.
