The Schneider Electric ENW24170 is a 3-pole switch disconnector from the EasyPact NW range, rated 2500 A in AC-23A duty at 690 V AC — that's the utilisation category for heavy motor loads with occasional switching, not just resistive break. The 50 kA short-time withstand (Icw) for 1 s and 105 kA making capacity (Icm) tell you this part can survive and clear a major fault without welding its contacts, which is the deciding factor for selectivity studies in distribution boards. It's certified to IEC 60947-3, the standard for switch-disconnectors, and carries a 'yes' for suitability for isolation — meaning when it's open, you can safely work downstream.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy ENW24170 and how do I get a price?
The ENW24170 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
What is ENW24170's listed depth?
The ENW24170 has a depth of 395 mm.
What is ENW24170's listed range?
The ENW24170 belongs to the EasyPact NW range.
What is the AC-23A rating and why does it matter?
The AC-23A utilisation category means this switch disconnector is rated for switching motor loads or other highly inductive loads at 2500 A — not just resistive heating. It's the rating that governs real motor-circuit duty, not the thermal current.
What compliance documentation does this brand provide for ENW24170?
The ENW24170 is certified to IEC 60947-3 and carries a pollution degree 4 rating per IEC 60664-1. It is suitable for isolation per IEC 60947-3. Specific RoHS, REACH, or UL documentation should be confirmed at quote time.
