The ENW23296 is a drawout chassis from the Schneider Electric EasyPact NW range, designed to accept a 3-pole circuit breaker rated at 1250 A at 40 °C. The drawout mechanism lets you rack the breaker in and out of the cradle for isolation and maintenance without unbolting power connections — a standard requirement in switchgear where uptime per aisle matters.
Drawout mounting and panel integration
Mounting mode is drawout, meaning the chassis is fixed to the switchgear enclosure while the breaker portion slides in on rails. This is the standard approach for high-current switchgear where you need to isolate the breaker for testing or replacement without de-energizing the bus. The chassis provides the fixed disconnect contacts and the racking mechanism. The device application is listed as Mounting — this chassis is the receiving frame, not the breaker itself. You'll pair it with a compatible EasyPact NW breaker unit (the ENW12C device short name references the 1250 A frame).
For a sourcing decision: this chassis is specified into the BOM of a low-voltage switchgear lineup. No substitution risk from obsolescence on this part.
