The Schneider Electric ENW24267 is a 4-pole switch disconnector from the EasyPact NW range, rated for 3200 A in AC-23A utilisation category at 690 V AC — meaning it handles heavy motor and mixed loads with frequent switching, not just resistive isolation. Drawout mounting lets you rack the unit out for maintenance without disturbing the rear-connected busbars.
The headline 3200 A AC-23A rating is the operational current for switching motor loads and mixed inductive/resistive circuits — not a continuous bus rating. For pure isolation duty (no load make/break), the same switch is suitable per IEC 60947-3. Short-time withstand of 50 kA for 1 second (or 25 kA for 3 seconds) tells you the switch can ride through a fault long enough for an upstream breaker to clear, so coordination studies should check that the let-through energy stays within the switch's I²t capability. The 105 kA making capacity (Icm) confirms it can close onto a short circuit without welding contacts — critical for a main incoming switch.
Integration notes
Drawout chassis mounts on a rail with rear horizontal or vertical connection positions. The neutral is on the right. Connection pitch is 115 mm without a spreader. IP40 front face keeps out tools and fingers but not water — install in a dry indoor enclosure. Mechanical durability: 20000 cycles with maintenance, 10000 without. Electrical durability for AC-23A: 5000 cycles at 440 V, 2500 cycles at 690 V.
