The Schneider Electric ENW24217 is a 4-pole switch disconnector from the EasyPact NW range, rated for 2000 A in AC-23A duty at 690 V AC — that's the heavy motor-switching category, covering mixed resistive and inductive loads including occasional motor starts.
The 2000 A AC-23A rating is the headline number, but the real selector for panel builders is the short-time withstand: 66 kA for 1 s or 36 kA for 3 s (Icw). That tells you the switch can ride through a downstream fault long enough for an upstream breaker to clear — critical for selectivity coordination in a distribution board. The making capacity (Icm) of 143 kA peak means it can close onto a fault without welding contacts. Rated insulation voltage is 1000 V AC, and impulse withstand is 12 kV — so it's comfortable on 690 V systems with decent surge margin.
This is a panel-mount drawout switch — it sits on a rail inside a switchboard cubicle, not a standalone enclosure. The 556 mm width and 439 mm height give you the envelope for the cradle cutout; depth is 395 mm behind the panel face. Neutral is on the left, and connections are rear-entry, horizontal or vertical.
