Product details

The Schneider Electric ENW24248 is a 4-pole drawout circuit breaker from the EasyPact NW range, rated 1600 A at 40 °C with a 66 kA Icu breaking capacity at 220...440 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2. The 65 kA Ics (service breaking capacity) at the same voltage tells you it can clear a fault and be immediately returned to service without inspection, which matters for uptime in continuous-process plants.

The 12 kV impulse withstand (Uimp) confirms it handles switching surges and lightning-induced transients on exposed feeders. Pollution degree 4 per IEC 60664-1 means the creepage distances are sized for conductive dust or condensation — think cement plants or unheated switchrooms, not just clean data centers.

Drawout mounting and panel integration

Drawout mounting means the breaker chassis stays wired to the bus, and the moving portion racks out for maintenance or swap without disturbing the primary connections. Rear vertical/horizontal connection positions give flexibility for cable entry direction in the switchgear lineup. The 115 mm connection pitch without spreader is the dimension to check against your existing bus bar centers — if you're retrofitting into an older board, measure first. IP40 protection is fine for indoor switchgear; no washdown rating here, so keep it out of the hose-down zone.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy ENW24248 and how is it quoted?

The ENW24248 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the breaking capacity of ENW24248 at 690 V?

At 690 V AC 50/60 Hz, the Icu is 50 kA and the Ics is also 50 kA per IEC 60947-2.

What compliance standards does ENW24248 meet?

It is designed to IEC 60947-2 for circuit breakers, with a rated insulation voltage of 1000 V AC and impulse withstand of 12 kV. Pollution degree 4 per IEC 60664-1 covers heavy industrial environments.
