The ENW24286 is a 4-pole switch disconnector in the Schneider Electric EasyPact NW range, rated for distribution duty. It carries a 1000 A rated operational current (Ie) in AC-23A utilisation category at 690 V AC 50/60 Hz — that's the heavy switching category for motor loads, inductive and resistive mixed, where making and breaking currents are high. Rated insulation voltage (Ui) is 1000 V AC, and impulse withstand (Uimp) is 12 kV, both per IEC 60947-3.
Short-circuit and isolation performance
Rated short-time withstand current (Icw) is 66 kA for 1 s or 36 kA for 3 s, and short-circuit making capacity (Icm) hits 143 kA peak at 50/60 Hz. These numbers govern selectivity coordination downstream — the disconnector holds in during a fault long enough for the downstream breaker to clear, without welding its own contacts. It's certified as suitable for isolation per IEC 60947-3, with a visible contact position indicator. That means it can serve as a lockable disconnect point for safe maintenance access — no separate isolator needed upstream.
Fixed mounting on a base plate, rear connection, right-side neutral position. The 537 x 352 x 297 mm footprint needs panel layout planning — it's not a DIN-rail part. Connection pitch is 115 mm without spreader; vertical or horizontal cable entry works. IP40 enclosure protection — suitable for indoor panel installation, not washdown.
